FALSE BAY RUGBY CLUB

It was an eagerly awaited derby between teams separated on the Super League A table only by points difference and come the sounding of the final whistle, just two points separated the Southern Suburbs rivals. The difference was on the league table as Motorvaps False Bay bagged 5 league points against the Villager RFC solitary point for a loss within seven points. The scoreboard showed Motorvaps False Bay 27-25 winners over Villager RFC at Constantia on Saturday. The visitors led 13-12 at half time.

Derbies are unique no matter the sport. In WP Club Rugby terms, it is not about the results only. It’s about the occasion. The match programme, normally four matches between the clubs, none less important in the minds of their participants than the other, is the essence of a club rugby derby.
