Victory for Stellenbosch

FNB Maties picked up a morale-boosting WP Super League victory on Wednesday - the perfect tonic ahead of this weekend's Intervarsity meeting with the Ikey Tigers.

The Maties beat Helderberg 48-11 at the Danie Craven Stadium - a good victory for the three-times Varsity Cup winners who have suffered recent losses to Hamilton's and False Bay.

The Men in Maroon will next play UCT - at Groote Schuur - this Saturday afternoon (kick-off 4pm); a crucial match in terms of National Club Championships qualification.

* Meanwhile, Stellenbosch's second team, Victorians, went down 19-21 to Durb-Bell - also on Wednesday.
