Easter in George

By Online Editors
Tuesday 8 Apr 2014
This year's Community Cup winner will be found in George over the Easter weekend.

 

The excitement has begun to build in George for the second edition of the Community Cup Easter play-offs, which begins on April 17, with the South African Rugby Union (SARU) and tournament hosts, South Western Districts, ready for the club rugby showdown.

 

The play-offs, which feature South Africa’s eight top non-university clubs, will be hosted at Outeniqua Park from April 17 to 21, and the winners will walk away with the historic Gold Cup.

 

The eight teams participating in the Community Cup Easter play-offs were confirmed this past weekend in the final round of pool fixtures.

 

The tournament will feature Roses United, Rustenburg Impala, College Rovers, Old Selbornians, Hamiltons, Centurion, defending champions Despatch and Roodepoort. 

 

Four of the teams, Roses United, Hamiltons, Centurion and Old Selbornians will make their first appearance in the Easter play-offs.

 

"We have watched 20 teams battle it out for places in the Community Cup Easter play-offs for several weeks, and judging by the tough competition, the tournament in George should be thrilling,' said SARU CEO Jurie Roux. 

 

"It’s good to see a few new teams come through, as it shows that the quality of rugby at club level is improving. 

 

"It also serves as evidence that this competition is exactly what we needed to revive club rugby. The Easter play-offs have provided a fantastic platform for the teams to showcase their talent to a wider rugby audience and it is clear that they are serious about excelling.

 

"We are looking forward to the tournament, and I wish all eight teams who will be participating in the Community Cup Easter play-offs well."
