Stellies take on Brakkies
Thus far, Stellenberg – ranked 17 – have been putting in solid performances weekly to cement their place in the Top 20. Their recent 24-19 win against HTS Drostdy proved how determined and good the side is this year.
Brackenfell, on the other hand, will not be a walk over. The visitors might occupy the last spot in the Top 20 racking, but their recent 33-31 win over Hugenote from Wellington have boosted the side confidence.
Thus far, Stellenberg have won 12, draw one of their 15 matches. They faced two sides ranked in the TOp20 – HTS Drostdu and Boland Landbou.
The visitors have also won 12 of their 15 matches, and have played two Top 20 sides – Outeniqua and SACS.
Whatever the results may be, be assured that both schools will indeed leave it all on the field come Saturday.
