SACS<\/strong> hosted Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> last weekend. The Southern Suburbs<\/strong> visitors delivered a strong performance to defeat the hosts 23-20<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This Saturday provides a second chance for them to host and defeat their other Southern Suburbs counterparts, Diocesan<\/strong> College<\/strong>. The Memorial A<\/strong> Field<\/strong> fixture is set to kickoff at 12:30.<\/p>\n

Bishops<\/strong><\/em> managed a 26-all draw against a visiting Wynberg<\/strong><\/a> last Saturday. Funny enough, they drew 14 all with SACS<\/strong> when they played them on the Piley Rees<\/strong> in May. Should one predict a draw for this upcoming encounter?<\/p>\n

Bishops’ hooker and captain, Daniel van den Heever<\/strong>, has delivered some excellent performances in recent weeks. He scored a hat-trick at Milnerton<\/strong>, and a brace against Wynberg last week. As he has grown, so has his side. He’ll be difficult to stop off the back of lineout mauls and in the carries.<\/p>\n

The Newlands<\/strong> outfit has a formidable captain and hooker of its own. Sango Zangqa<\/strong> threw in and finished a 22 metre lineout maul in the dying minutes against Rondebosch last Saturday. The hooker is influential in the set-pieces, scrumming and driving with great strength.<\/p>\n

The contest between the two captains will be an interesting match-up to enjoy. Both sides also enjoy playing out wide. Supporters can look forward to Bishop’s skilful flyhalf, Christian Toweel<\/strong>, and SACS’s try-scoring centre, Mikey Skeeles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They are lethal threats when on the attack.<\/p>\n

It can be difficult to choose a winner in an evenly matched fixture. SACS might be slight favourites simply because they have the home ground advantage.<\/p>\n

The teams:<\/strong><\/p>\n

SACS:<\/strong> 15 Quewinn Lackay, 14 Josh Gorgens, 13 Imtiaz Abrahams, 12 Mikey Skeeles, 11 Josh Pfister, 10 Nathan Potgieter, 9 Matt Forbes, 8 Thando Sithole, 7 Harrison Bell, 6 Siphe Mbungendlu, 5 RJ Cunningham, 4 Reuben De Klerk, 3 Qiraan Hermans, 2 Sango Zangqa (captain), 1 Qawe Sawuka.<\/p>\n

Diocesan College:<\/strong> 15 Rynard Gordon, 14 Singa Mayoyo, 13 Ben Koenig, 12 Cole Robyntjies, 11 Noah Edmunds, 10 Christian Toweel, 9 Max Marr, 8 Jack Venter, 7 Yazeed Salaam, 6 Ethan Venter, 5 Fouke Wagener, 4 Rieko Kidha, 3 Chris du Toit, 2 Daniel van den Heever (captain), 1 Will Reid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
