Sporting bonanza

It was a sporting clash that won’t soon be forgotten as more than 850 Western Cape students gave it their all on the field and in the water during 2018 Inter-Varsity, hosted by the University of Cape Town on 28 and 29 September. Participants were from UCT, Stellenbosch University, the University of the Western Cape and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, with Stellenbosch emerging as the ultimate event champion.

Stellenbosch ended on 57 points, with UCT just three points behind on 54, followed by UWC on 36 and CPUT on 13. The students participated in a range of different sports, including rugby, fencing, badminton, tennis, swimming, yachting, netball and basketball, with UCT winning the men’s basketball, the table tennis, rowing and the campus relay.
