Ikeys channel venue anguish

3 Apr 2008

Losing the right to host the Varsity Cup final will further inspire the Ikeys to win the inaugural title.

UCT finished top of the Varsity Cup log, only losing one league fixture. They edged Pukke on the hooter at the semi-final on Monday, a feat that should have secured a home final. However, it has been confirmed the final will be staged at the Danie Craven Stadium next Monday at 6.45pm. The fact that UCT’s floodlights are not strong enough for television coverage has cost them the right to play this game at home.

“I know there was a significant student uproar over the decision, but it has been confirmed we will play in Stellenbosch,” team manager Steve Butt told keo.co.za. “We had around 8000 people here for the semi-final and it would have been great to play this match at home.”

Butt said UCT would not let this matter detract from what they need to do in Stellenbosch. Maties are the national club champs and have had the better of UCT at the Danie Craven Stadium in recent times, and it will take a special effort to beat them at home.

“We are helluva disappointed, but we won’t lose focus. If anything this will fire the guys up even more.

“We’ve had to battle throughout this competition so it won’t be anything new.”

    and watching a delayed game is a bit like kissing your sister/cousin… You get a bit of tongue, but you never get as excited as you should be. While this is something the UCT fans might be ok with, but personally, i am not!

    Your last sentence says it all – you’re judge and jury which is so typically racist as you always know what is good for everyone else in S.A. so like PietWapen.

    #51 – You’re a pervert.

    Ek hoop net die IKEYS gedra hulle en maak nie soos die laaste paar jaar en kom breek ons paviljoene en rugby palle af nie. As daardie klomp engelse eers drank in het raak hulle barbaars en verloor hulle klere.

    Vou hulle dubbeld MATIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
