Rugby semis on Saturday

The semi finals of the MTC Rugby Premier League will be played at the Hage Geingob Stadium on Saturday. The first semi final will see traditional rivals Rehoboth and Reho Falcons pitted against each other for a chance to play in the final of the 2010 rugby season.

Falcons finished second on the log with 53 points and Rehoboth third with 43 points.

Falcons have gotten the better of Rehoboth the two times they played against each other during the season. On April 17 Falcons won 30-16 and on 26 June Rehoboth lost the Tommy Jarman Trophy 22-7.

The coach of Falcons, Frank Isaacks, said the team will not rely on their past results against Rehoboth.

Former champions, Wanderers, finished top of the log with an impressive 54 points and will face fourth place finishers, Western Suburbs, who had 37 points, in the second semi final.

Suburbs won the first match the two teams played against each other, on May 29, 34-10. Wanderers, however, managed to win the round 11 encounter on July 24 narrowly by 39-37.

The day will start off with the Ladies Premier League semi-final matches. Western Suburbs will face Kudus at 10h00 while Reho Pandas play against Amazon in the second semi final at 11h25.

The two First League semi finals will follow at 12h50 and 14h35.

The first Premier League semi final between Rehoboth and Falcons will be played at 16h20 and the second one between Wanderers and Suburbs will start at 18h05. – namibiasport.com.na
