Steinhoff Koshuisrugby
Monitor to defend Koshuis title
Steinhoff Monitor, after making a slow start to their title defence in TUT's Steinhoff Koshuis League, will contest next month's final against the unbeaten Steinhoff Magalies team.
Monitor beat the Steinhoff Spartans 34-13 in Monday's final round of league action and finished top of the Red Pool - despite going down heavily to Magalies in their opening game - whilst the selfsame Magalies dominated the Yellow Pool.
The Men from Monitor will be eyeing up the final, in just over two weeks' time, as a means of revenge - but the unbeaten Magalies will be the favourites heading into the final and rightly so.
