Final replay for DHL WP Women

PUBLISHED: May 19, 2022


The top two teams in the Women’s Premier Division, DHL Western Province and Border Ladies, tackle each other head-on in Cape Town in what promises to be another great battle between the two rivals this weekend.

This big clash, which kicks off at 15h00 at the Brackenfell Rugby Club, is a repeat of the 2021 final between these sides, which was won by Border at Newlands last year.

Following the outcome of last weekend’s results, DHL Western Province, the Border Ladies and the Blue Bulls Women took command of the log as the competition passed the halfway stage, with all three teams scoring important victories to stay in the top three positions.

Only points difference separates DHL WP and Border at the top of the standings, with both teams on 14 log points, however, the Cape Town outfit have played three matches to date and Border four.

The round’s feature game in the Cape sees a repeat of last year’s final, when Border defeated hosts DHL WP 24-15 to lift the 2021 crown.

In the corresponding fixture last year, the team in the blue and white hooped jerseys recorded a comprehensive 30-5 victory over the women from the Eastern Cape, and DHL WP will be hoping that home ground advantage will again be their ally this time around, but their defence will especially be tested by the strength of the formidable Border pack.
