The Bulls Daisies have been crowned and celebrated as the 2024 Team of the Year at last week’s 19th Momentum gsport Awards.

The 2023 and 2024 SA Rugby Women’s Premier Division champions were recognised for their achievements during an evening dedicated to showcasing the very best of women’s sport with the Deputy Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture, Peace Mabe, in attendance.

The trend-setting Daisies won the award in recognition of their back-to-back stellar campaigns where they have won 29 from 30 in the domestic competition over the last two seasons.

Head coach Hayden Groepes and his management team were also relentless in producing 15 Springbok players. Thereby they contributed positively to the qualification of South Africa to the Women’s World Cup in England.

Thando Manana, the Executive for Strategic Projects at the BBCo said the award is a celebration of both the team and commercial partners who have backed the Daisies.

“Firstly, congratulations to our Daisies. This is a great recognition from South Africans who see the great strides they are making in the advancement of professional women’s rugby and a special salute for their remarkable results on and off the field,” Manana remarked.

He emphasized that this is also an award to the team’s commercial partners, who have backed them from the start when it doesn’t seem fashionable to support women’s rugby or sport.
