It’s rugby season at CPUT.
During the next few weeks, several rugby teams representing residences as well as day students will take to the field in the hopes of being crowned the top CPUT residence rugby team.
The CPUT Koshuis Rugby tournament is now in its second year and six teams will compete for the coveted floating trophy.
Manager of the CPUT Wellington Rugby Club and chairperson of the Sports Forum, Conrad Du Plessis says last year only teams from the Wellington Campus competed in the competition.
However, this year the competition has been opened to all CPUT residences and day teams.
“We’ve had a good response,” says Du Plessis.
Four teams from Wellington Campus are competing in the tournament as well as teams from the Cape Town and Bellville Campuses.
“The goal is to grow the tournament and get more CPUT students involved in rugby.”
The tournament kicked off on Thursday, 26 February and will see all six teams play against one another.
“The top two teams on the log will play in the final. The teams ending third and fourth will play against one another for third place,” says Du Plessis.
The matches will take place at the Gardens sports field in Cape Town as well as on the rugby sports fields at the Bellville and Wellington Campuses.
The third and fourth playoff as well as the cup final will take place on Wednesday, 25 March 2015 at the Wellington Campus Rugby sports field.
All staff and students are welcome to attend the matches.
