Dear Shebeen, Tomorrow night, round 2 of the UCT internal league 2010 kicks off. After a tough first round with mixed results, Shebeen Boys are still very much in the hunt for some awesome silverware. With Kopano, Cobras and Smuts in our group, tomorrow’s outing is of huge importance and could put us in a [...]

The Shebeen Boys went down 7-0 to the Panthers on the muddy mile. The horizontal rain made for a greasy ball but the biggest detractor in Wednesday’s match was the wind. Shebeen played against the bluster in the first half and battled to move out of their own territory. The gale also made for an [...]

Dear Shebeen, In what will hopefully not be a habitual occurence, our Pink Pants winner from last week ended up in hospital after the clash with the Nadoes. For all of those that don’t know, Devon is fine. Aside from the concussion sidelining him for the next month, he was “really chuffed for the chill [...]

Dear Shebeen, Tonight we are playing for promotion into the Internal League A Division… Considering the fight I saw from the team last week I do not see this as being out of reach. But tonight, we really need to pull finger and play some entertaining Shebeen Boys rugby against a decent Panthers outfit! The [...]

The Shebeen Boys went down 31-5 to last year’s Cup winners on the Green Mile on Wednesday. The scoreline suggests a comfortable win for the Tornadoes, but the Been Boys showed a lot of heart, especially in the first half. The forwards produced a magnificent performance in the scrums and at the breakdown, and it [...]

Dear Shebeen Boys, As you all know, the Pink Pants Award is making a very strong comeback this season. Thanks to Karl for looking after them in the Marquard game so well. But alas, this partnership has come to an end and it is time to announce the next recipient of this very special ‘award’… [...]

The Shebeen Boys began the Internal League with a morale-boosting 12-10 win over Marquard. Not much was known about the new- look res side, and the way Shebeen started this fixture, a bonus point seemed a formality. A powerful maul from the lineout left Marquard backtracking, and Siv Ngesi finally emerged for what was a [...]

The Pink Pants Award is a Shebeen Boys tradition that has great staying power, being passed down year to year. While it started out as an award for a player doing something ridiculous, inexplicable or amazing on the rugby field, it has evolved to our way of showcasing that someone on our team decided to [...]

Dear Shebeen, This Wednesday night, the 14th of April, sees the much anticipated opening fixture of the 2010 Internal League take place on the Green Mile. After an excellent day of rugby yesterday which saw the Shebeen squad tackle the Nadoes, Cobras and Smuts Titans, we are ready to go into battle for the 2010 [...]

The Shebeen Boys went down to Nadoes and Smuts but managed a 10-10 draw in their third match against the Cobras. In a four-team friendly tournament staged on the undulating fields of Lutgensvale, Shebeen improved with each performance. The first match was played against the 2009 Cup winners Nadoes, who capitalised on some poor defence [...]
