In a fiercely contested Joburg derby, WITS emerged victorious over UJ with a commanding 38-0 win in the Castle Lager Pirates Grand Challenge Feature Match. Despite the lopsided scoreline, the game was far from easy, with UJ putting up a strong fight, particularly in the first half.
The match began as a tight contest, with WITS managing only a 7-0 lead by halftime. UJ’s defense held firm, making it difficult for WITS to break through. However, the floodgates opened in the 58th minute when WITS began to capitalize on their opportunities, scoring multiple tries in quick succession to pull away decisively.
This crucial victory puts WITS in a prime position for the playoff spots. With only two games remaining—against Alberton next week and Roodepoort in the final week, which will feature a double points round—WITS is poised to solidify their standing and make a strong push for the playoffs.
The win not only strengthens WITS’ position on the table but also showcases their ability to persevere and dominate when it counts. As they look ahead to the final weeks of the season, WITS will carry the momentum from this resounding victory into their upcoming matches.
