Panne prepare for new season
Brakpan Rugby Club will have a shorter season in 2015 than in previous years.
This comes after the club’s first team failed to qualify for this year’s 2015 Cell C Community Cup.
The club’s sides commenced with training for the new campaign last week.
The “Panne” will field four sides this year (a first XV, a second XV, an u-21 team and an u-20 team).
With the formation of the u-20 squad, the club will no longer field an u-19 team.
The first, second and u-21 sides will get warmed up with a friendly against Pretoria Bobbies at Bosman Stadium on Saturday, December 31, in preparation for the Assupol Super Club Series which kicks off the following weekend.
They will face Pretoria Bobbies, North West University (Pukke) and Vereeniging in the group stages of the tournament.
The warm-up matches on January 31 will start with the u-21 game at 1.30pm, the second team at 2.30pm and the first team at 4pm on the A-field.
Following the conclusion of the Assupol Super Club Series the club will look forward to the Valke Peregrine League with an aim of qualifying for the 2016 version of the Cell C Community Cup.
