Grahamstown Brumbies travel to Uitenhage tomorrow for the club’s final match of the season, when they face Spring Rose rugby club from Port Elizabeth.
The match is a promotion/relegation match for the Super League Grand Challenge and Adams Cup leagues. Spring Rose finished bottom of the Grand Challenge league and Brumbies finished third in the Adams Cup so they will face Spring Rose for an attempt to once again make the Grand Challenge league.
The top two finishing sides in the Adams Cup were automatically promoted to the Grand Challenge.
The promotion and relegation match was scheduled to take place last week but was postponed due to the British Airways Mighty Elephants match in Port Elizabeth.
Brumbies were scheduled to play Kwaru rugby club for the third and fourth playoffs, but Kwaru did not take part in the match and so Brumbies were automatically awarded the points, finishing third for the season.
Brumbies manager, Giuliano Flotman said this is the last chance for Brumbies to make the higher league. He says although they got off to a good start for the season, they were lying top of the log at the end of the first round but fell apart in the second round. Flotman said the players have been working hard to be able to make the Grand Challenge league for the next season.
