Rhodes University football and netball 1st teams were set to board a bus to Kimberley today to lock horns with three teams from the Northern Cape province participating in an Intervarsity tournament.

Rhodes University football and netball 1st teams were set to board a bus to Kimberley today to lock horns with three teams from the Northern Cape province participating in an Intervarsity tournament.

Rhodes was invited by Edison T. Masoeu, the National Institute for Higher Education (NIHE) in the Northern Cape's head of sport. They will also face off against Sol Platjie University, which was established last year and is in the process of introducing sports on its Kimberley campus.

Rhodes soccer team will start off against Sol Platjie's Stitch United and NIHE later today before two back-to-back matches against Sol Platjie and Northern Cape Urban FET College (NCU FET) tomorrow 9 August.

The netball team will start with Northern Cape's No 1 team, NIHE Reds, and then tomorrow face NCU FET and NIHE. The tournament is more of a social assembly as Rhodes and Sol Platjie look set to forge a good working relationship, said Mandla Gagayi, Rhodes head of sport, who added that it's more about having fun than going for blood.

"We have met with them (Sol Platjie) in various platforms and they are keen on working with us," he said. "They are still a new university and so soccer and netball are the only sports they have so far."

The teams are expected to travel back to Grahamstown Sunday 10 August.
