Several weather challenges but clubs looking to play

As we head into the weekend with several weather challenges and assuming we have some respite, club rugby fans can look forward to a packed schedule of fixtures across all major leagues. The Super League A, B, and C divisions, along with the Paarl Region. On the assumption that the weather does holds back teams will be jostling for log positions and some looking to bounce back from recent defeats, the weekend promises plenty of drama and intensity on the field.

In Super League A, Kuilsrivier will be hoping to turn their season around when they host False Bay. Kuilsrivier, who lost last weekend to UWC (14) UWC (28) on 28/06/2025, are currently bottom of the log with just one win from ten games and a win percentage of 10%. False Bay, sitting fourth with a 66.67% win rate, will be looking to maintain their momentum and keep pressure on the top three.

Tygerberg, who suffered a heavy defeat seven days ago against Hamiltons (0) Hamiltons (57), will face Van Der Stel at home. Tygerberg, currently eighth, will be eager to bounce back, but they face a tough challenge against Van Der Stel, who boast a strong 71.43% win rate and sit sixth on the table.

Villager, currently second on the log with an impressive 87.5% win rate, will host bottom-placed St Georges. Villager will aim to keep their title hopes alive, while St Georges, still winless after nine games, face an uphill battle.

Durb-Bell, the current log leaders with an 88.89% win rate, will host third-placed Hamiltons in what is arguably the match of the weekend. Both teams are in top form, and this clash could have major implications for the title race.
