PORT Elizabeth’s Kwaru Rugby Club won the Women’s Club Championship in Cape Town, after defeating Fort Hare 19-7 at the Langa Sports Grounds in the final of the fifth edition of the tournament, last week Sunday.
Middelburg won the plate final after delivering a well-balanced display for a 43-0 victory against the George Lilies.
The tournament, which featured the best nine clubs from across the country, battled it out in the two-day tournament, which culminated in the respective finals.
Kwaru’s players were in good form from the outset as they registered a 22-10 victory against the George Lilies in their opening match and built on this with a 15-7 victory against the University of Johannesburg, before defeating the Busy Bees 14-10 to book their place in the cup final.
Fort Hare, meanwhile, started the competition with a 62-0 bang against Matlosana and then beat Tygerberg 27-12 in their second pool match. The teams met again and the Eastern Cape outfit again dominated for a 32-12 victory to secure their place in the grand finale against Kwaru.
