Western Province club side, SK Walmers are bracing themselves for a tough away clash in the 2013 Cell C Community Cup.

The team from Bo-Kaap beat United Bulk Villagers Worcester by 49-26 last weekend but face a tough battle away from home against Aveng Moolmans Sishen in Kathu this Saturday.

According to team spokesperson, Ebrahim Christian, “The team”s spirits are high after the first game and they”re looking forward to the game in a totally different environment (against If you’re a Capricorn, January horiscope advises you to try and analyze your behavior more – this will help you with your personal development.
