Zulus and Redcoats again clashed at Rorke’s Drift, marking the 137th anniversary of the famous Anglo Zulu War battle.  But this time, there were no rifles or spears:  just football boots, a ball, a very rudimentary field and a great spirit. There was yet again a shoot-out:  this time a penalty shoot-out after the gallant teams drew 0-0 after regulation time.

The penalty shoot-out, that went into ‘sudden death’ was won by the Zulu Zebras!  The second annual Rorke’s Drift commemorative football game was organised by Charles Aitkenhead of the Rorke’s Drift Hotel and a magnificent trophy was presented to the winning team!
