The home side broke the deadlock in the early stages of the game through winger Rethabile Louw with Ntokozo Makhaza adding the conversion making it 7-0 after seven minutes. It wasn’t long before Tom Dawson-Squibb’s side scored their second try through prop Brian le Roux. Kyle Lamb went over for UCT’s third just before half time, taking the score to 24-0.

As expected because of the heavy wind at the Green Mile Stadium, the visitors showed up at the start of the second half putting more pressure on the Ikeys. Shimlas used UCT scrumhalf Asad Moos’ yellow card to their advantage when 8th-man Kwezi Dlamini dotted down.

Frank de Reis added another, but it was a case of too little too late for the visitors.
