BDF Cheetahs proved that they are the powerhouse of Super rugby league when they bounced back to beat Gaborone Hogs 22-18 in a tightly-contested match played at Wharic Park over the weekend. Cheetahs used their power to score the much needed goal through a scrum in the dying minutes of the game after a foul.

The match was an opener of the second round of the league. Cheetahs took the lead through a brilliant penalty kick by Edward Oosthuizen in the 10th minute.
