Bellville South seeking a hat-trick
Bellvile South will be chasing a hat-trick of victories over local rivals Kasselsvlei when the two teams meet in their FNB Classic Clash on Saturday.
Bellville South have got the better of Kasselsvlei for the last two years, and lead the overall tally in Classic Clashes 4-2, so they will head into the fixture in confident mood.
However, Kasselsvlei have been in good form this year, losing just one of their four matches so far, so they will be keen to prove a point against their more fancied opposition.
Bellville South themselves have only lost twice this year with sevens wins under their belts, so they will have their sights set on continuing their impressive record at the Bellville South Sports Grounds.
The home team's strength lies in their imposing forward pack, so they will look to get the upper hand over Kasselsvlei in the tight exchanges and starve the visitors' dangerous backline of possession.
Kasselsvlei know that they are in for a serious test of their physicality, but remain quietly confident that they can exploit some space out wide if given half a chance.
