WP to take trophy to the people
The 2014 Currie Cup-winning Western Province squad will embark on a victory parade through Cape Town on Tuesday, October 28.
Players and management will take the Currie Cup trophy to their passionate fans, as they celebrate their dramatic 19-16 win over the Golden Lions in Saturday's final at Newlands, their second triumph in three seasons but first at home since 2001.
Three buses, made up of the majority of the players who featured this season, team management, VIPs and the media will begin a parade with Cape Town's Executive Mayor Patricia de Lille at Cape Town City Hall at 12.30, with activations beginning in the streets outside City Hall from 11.00.
Thereafter, the buses will make their way through Adderley Street, Wale Street, Long Street, Buitengracht Street, Loop Street and Strand Street.
The buses will then head to Gugulethu Square, via Klipfontein Road in Athlone, and end off at the Promenade in Mitchell's Plain to complete the parade.
