The Varsity Cup Young Guns Compo for under-20 students is into Round 3. Its the first time this season that all 8 teams will be in action. Last week the Pukke hammered Wits as expected but NMMU really put up a brave fight going down just 24-34 to one of the pre-tournament favourites, the Maties from the University of Stellenbosch.
Today the Shimlas vs Pukke should be a tough game. Another battle of note could be the NMMU vs UJ clash. The Ikeys vs Maties always draws a lot of interest with Maties being the favourites to win that one. The strong Tuks team is bound to be way too strong for Wits.
Below are the past results as well as the fixtures for today:
Shimlas | 16 | 18 | Tuks |
Ikeys | 44 | 15 | NMMU |
NMMU | 24 | 34 | Maties |
Pukke | 60 | 8 | Wits |
