Hogs Snatch Rugby League Title

Hogs missed out on the title last year when Cheetahs successfully defended the league. The Saturday victory was the second for Hogs against Cheetahs this season.

The match started at a high tempo with both sides pushing for early lead. Hogs were the first to draw blood in the ninth minute through Roberto Phobe. Full back, Tapiwa Malenga scored the conversion. The 7-0 lead rubbed Cheetahs the wrong way as they pushed to settle the score. Goloswang Twadimpe who was playing as a loose head prop powered through Hogs backline and made a brilliant pass to Eddie Ernest who went for a try in the 15th minute. Cheetahs gained momentum and got another try through Shamwaka James a few minutes later. Edward Oosthuizen failed to score the conversion. Cheetahs took a 12-7 lead.
