Despite that record, the team’s captain Adriaan Bester said their spirits remained high and they were ready to tackle Shimlas at the UJ Stadium.

“We are definitely up for the challenge we face on Monday,” he said.

Despite the team’s disappointing position on the Log, he took the time to pay tribute to the UJ fans for the support they showed throughout the season.
