On friday, the Bishops Od's played against the Bosch Old Boys in a thrilling encounter. It was the Bosch Old Boys who got on the scorecard first with a well worked try. It was a physical battle with both sides not giving each other an inch as there were gang tackles being made, hard running, and sublime finishing. OD's struck back just before half time to make the scores level at 5-5 with Cobras star Brendan Raubenheimer going over after using his soccer skills to dribble the ball into the in goal area.
The second half produced the same sort of Rugby, with both teams well in the game. Hit after hit the defensive was relentless from both teams and what a game of rugby we all had on our hands. The bosch crowd started encouraging their side with a few war cries, adding to the awesome spirit in which the game was played in. There were numerous Cobras and Nadoes in both sides as expected, so the rivalry was as strong as ever. A big thanks to all who came down, the event seems to be getting bigger and bigger with every fixture, and it won't be long until this fixture becomes a highlight on both the Bishops and Bosch sports calendars. Final score Bishops OD's 15 - 5 Bosh Old Boys.
Saturday morning saw the game we had all be waiting for, the second derby match of the season between Rondebosch and Bishops. Bishops won the fist fixture a few weeks ago 20-8, and never looked like losing on Saturday morning. After Rondebosch put points on the board first, it was all Bishops from then on in, with sublime handling of the ball and running rugby that can only be associated to Bishops, it was a field day for the boys. Final score 47-15 to Bishops, it's now 4 years since Rondebosch have beaten Bishops, but the rivalry still remains the same.
