Shebeen Social Sports Club

Dear Shebeen, This fixture has become a sneaky rivalry, with an important game being played against the Smutsmen every year. Last year was the B division final, which saw Shebeen cruise to a comfortable victory. Earlier this year, Smuts claimed one back by beating us in the Shebeen Boys Sunday Pre- Season Tournament… Now it [...]

Dear Shebeen, There has been a long wait between internal league matches. Given the nature of the break (SWC etc), I am sure you are all clamouring to get a vote in on who should get the Pink Pants for tonight’s game because EVERYONE did something stupid, no doubt. Despite claims by other Shebeen members, [...]

Dear Shebeen, The second half of the Internal League season gets under way today with a cracker of an encounter on the cards. With mixed performances defining the Shebeen campaign thus far, we are looking to hit the ground running with a win tonight! The last meeting of these 2 sides was in a short [...]

The Shebeen Boys nearly completed an incredible comeback against the Medics at Lutgensvale on Sunday. With management opting to field a number of second-choice combinations, Shebeen struggled early on, especially on defence. The Medics scored five tries in the first half with Shebeen managing a solitary effort by the newest UK recruit. A few key [...]

The Shebeen Boys suffered a disappointing 5-0 defeat to Kopano on Wednesday. The UCT fields have taken a battering over the last week, and while the rain stayed away, both teams had to deal with a soft and slippery pitch that made handling and running difficult. Shebeen made good use of the wind in the [...]

Dear Shebeen, As we see ourselves hitting out against Kopano tonight to kick off the next phase of the group stages of the internal league, there is very little debate as to who the Pink Pants wearer will be this week. There were very few poor showings so the runner up spaces were not immediately [...]

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 [...]
