Welcome to the first Varsity Cup semi-final of 2017, that sees Maties host UJ. Last week these two side went head to head and Maties came out on top winning 65-19. UJ finished the season in place and were on a 5 match winning streak before the met Maties last week. Maties have only last once this season failing to beat Tuks in January. Good luck to both teams
