Armando Zimba, a first team player, was the man of the match. His coach, Pierre Venter, said, “Armando recently made a move from wing to lock, and has been playing outstanding rugby ever since. Gift Mulenda, who plays centre for the first team, also had an excellent game, and broke the line on a few occasions to go and score.”
