Two semifinals for DHL Newlands

PUBLISHED: October 12, 2014


There will be TWO semifinals at DHL Newlands in 2014, with the log-topping DHL Western Province Under-21 and Senior sides set to host the Free State U21s and the Blue Bulls, respectively, on Saturday, October 18.

Both Province teams had already sewn up first-place positions before last weekend’s final round of league fixtures, which allowed the coaches of both sides to field experimental line-ups against the Sharks at the weekend.

The DHL WP U21s managed a brilliant 51-32 win over the Sharks U21s, whilst the exciting DHL WP Seniors went down 20-28 against a first-string Sharks outfit.

Both results, however, had no bearing on the teams’ final play-off positions and the DHL WP U21s will host Free State’s U21s in their 2014 Absa Provincial Under-21 semifinal (kick-off TBC) and the DHL WP Seniors will entertain the Blue Bulls in their 2014 Absa Currie Cup semifinal (kick-off 17h00) at DHL Newlands this coming Saturday.

The DHL WP Under-19 side, meanwhile, wrapped up their league proceedings with a 27-20 win over the Sharks but they will have to travel to Bloemfontein to take on the Free State U19s at the FS Stadium on Saturday.

Match ticket sales for the semifinals at DHL Newlands will open on Monday, October 13 at 12h00. Tickets are priced at JUST R90 (for standing) and range from R150 to R250 (for seating) and can be purchased from wprugby.ticketpros.co.za.

You can also buy your match tickets directly from the DHL Newlands Box Office (Tuesday to Friday – 09h00-16h00 and Saturday – 09h00-17h30), or from selected Western Cape Spar stores and PostNet branches (nationwide). (See the full list of stores and/or branches here.)

All 2014 DHL Newlands season tickets ARE VALID for the 2014 Absa Currie Cup semifinal at DHL Newlands on October 18. However, season ticket holders will have the first option to purchase their existing seats should DHL WP progress to the 2014 Currie Cup Final on October 25.
