Varsity Cup: Cape Derby Delivers
Round 5 of the FNB Varsity Cup brought intensity, edge, and a proper derby atmosphere.
The Green Mile played its part — windy conditions, a fired-up crowd, and moments that swung momentum throughout. It’s everything that makes Varsity Cup rugby what it is: fast, unpredictable, and packed with energy.
The Cape Derby delivered.

SportPesa trail runner John April continues to put in the work ahead of the 2026 Kilimanjaro International Marathon.
From back-to-back Outeniqua Marathon wins to standout ultra-trail performances, his trajectory is clear — consistent progression, higher standards, bigger challenges.
This next test sits at altitude. Preparation matters. And he’s building well.
