CPUT comeback stuns Madibaz

CPUT celebrate CPUT
Published on April 11, 2019 | Leave a response

CPUT fought back from 17-3 down to beat NMU 32-28 in the Varsity Shield final in Port Elizabeth on Thursday night.

CPUT snatched victory in the 79th minute when scrumhalf George-Lee Erasmus burst away to score a try.

The Madibaz, who had topped the Shield log with six wins out of six, had led the final until that point.

CPUT flyhalf Ralton October, who kicked three conversions and two penalties in the final, was named the Player of the Tournament.

It literally went down to the wire! Final min of the #FNBVarsityShield final and George Lee Erasmus scores the winning try for @CPUT to be crowned 2019 champions ???
