#TuksRugby: Tuks Young Guns in their 5th Varsity Young Guns Final

Posted on April 09, 2016

The FNB Madibaz Young Guns were unable to play their last match of the Young Guns season due to a large number of injuries and  had to forfeit their match against the FNB Tuks Young Guns which was due to be played on 28 March.

The FNB Tuks Young Guns will be awarded the full five points on offer in the match, which will be recorded as a 32-0 victory (four converted tries, which equates to a bonus-point win).

The victory means that the FNB Tuks Young Guns will now play in the Young Guns final against top-of-the-log FNB UJ Young Guns for the title. The final takes place on Tuesday 12 April 2016 at 16:00 at the UJ Sports Grounds.
