Catsville Residence from District Six Campus showed endurance when they bounced back from trailing Val Du Charon Residence (Wellington) by 10 points early in the first half of the final match to clinch the inter-residence rugby tournament.
The boys were recently crowned champions of this year’s edition of the FNB Koshuis Rugby Tournament on the Bellville Campus.
The team from District Six started the game slowly and found themselves trailing 0 – 10 to their Wellington counterparts, but things changed halfway through when Catsville scored two tries in quick succession and levelled the score.
Then as the first half looked set to end in a stalemate, Catsville were awarded a penalty right in the centre of the pitch. They did the unthinkable and elected to go for a kick and voila, the ball went over the bar. The half-time score was 13-10.
In the second half Catsville picked up steam and bulldozed their way to win the tournament 24 – 20.
They received a trophy and gold medals for their sterling efforts while the runners-up were capped with silver medals.
In the match which was a curtain-raiser to the final, De Beers Residence from Bellville Campus walked away with the Bronze medals.
