Welwitschias face Leopards
LIMBA MUPETAMI
The Windhoek Draught Welwitschias will meet the Leopards, who are second on the log of the Currie Cup First Division, in Potchefstroom today.
The match is expected to be a tough one for the Namibians, who have much to prove to their opponents who have been doing well in the tournament.
Last weekend, they played the Hino Valke and were beaten 56-47 on home ground. It was an entertaining match which saw 15 tries being scored as both sides gave it their all in a tough encounter.
Despite a valiant effort from the home side, seven tries just weren't enough to get them over the winning line. Johan Tromp scored two tries, while Helarius Kisting, Abel de Klerk, Maharua Katjiteko, Jan Booysen and Russel van Wyk contributed one each.
Theuns Kotze succeeded with six of his seven attempts at goal, missing only Russel van Wyk's try conversion towards the end of the game.
Griffons lead the log with 15 points, followed by Leopards with 13, Boland 11, Hino Valke 10, Windhoek Draught Welwitschias 8, SWD Eagles 8, Border Bulldogs 2 and at the bottom is Eastern Province.

Mahco Prinsloo, Russell van Wyk, Lesley Klim, JC Greyling, Johan Tromp, Theuns Kotzé, Helarius Kisting, Christo van der Merwe, Adriaan Booysen, Rohan Kitshoff (captain), Max Katjijeko, Ruan Ludick, AJ de Klerk, Niël van Vuuren and Desiderius Sethie.
