Coming off an enormous 21 stroke victory in the Stroke Play qualifier at the Koro Creek Country Estate on Tuesday, the Tuks team carried their form into their first round of the match play against the Centurion Academy A side and combined well to win their opening match 6.5 – 2.5.

Under the round robin format, the champions in 2008, 2009 and 2011 will face The Golf School of Excellence – Johannesburg (TGSE-JHB) - in Thursday’s second round in what promises to be a thrilling battle.

The TGSE-JHB team scored a close victory against the Stellenbosch University A-Side to get through the first round unscathed. The match was a tightly contested affair that eventually came down to the last game and the final hole where a six-foot putt finally secured a 5-4 win for TGSE-JHB.

In the B-Division, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University beat Central University of Technology 5.5 - 3.5, while the North West University side defeated the University of Johannesburg 6-3.

Centurion Academy B drew 4.5 all with Rhodes University while The Golf School of Excellence – Pretoria team downed Varsity College B 5-4.

While their A-team might have an uphill struggle to stay in contention, the Maties B-team will be boosted by a total white wash against Rhodes University. The Stellenbosch side beat their D-Division opponents 9-0.

The other D-Division match went the way of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, who knocked the University of Cape Town 6-3.
