Oh my gosh! What a final! Jon-Jon Smuts gave the Lions a real scare there but somehow they hung on for the victory! In the famous words of BB King 'Let The Good Times Roll' for the Lions! An epic finale to a wonderful competition and a great season. Enoch Nkwe and his charges have been phenomenal this season!

M Pretorius to Smuts, OUT, short and pulled, off the top edge and hit in the air, Pongolo and Hendricks both run in for that one and collide but Pongolo manages to keep hold of that one and the Lions win the match!
