The NMMU-Madibaz teams retained their status as the top sporting institution in the Eastern Cape with another triumph in the annual intervarsity in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After a packed day of sporting action between four academic institutions, the Madibaz reigned supreme in the overall stakes with first places in 19 different categories over 12 sports and activities.<\/p>\n

Walter Sisulu University showed the talent in their ranks by achieving victories in seven categories.<\/p>\n

Rhodes University and Fort Hare also played their part.<\/p>\n

The Rhodians won the men’s first team and women’s third team hockey sections while the latter triumphed in karate, women’s sevens rugby and men’s first team rugby.<\/p>\n

In the men’s first team rugby competition Fort Hare beat Walter Sisulu 26-7 and NMMU were just too good for Rhodes, winning 20-0.<\/p>\n

The host varsity showed their depth in the men’s rugby by also winning the second team division and the U21s.<\/p>\n

Walter Sisulu shone in the football competition, winning the men’s first and second divisions as well as the women’s category.<\/p>\n

In their opening match in the men’s first division, they defeated Fort Hare and then overcame the hosts 9-8 in a penalty shootout after the final ended in a goalless draw.<\/p>\n

The Madibaz triumphed on the netball and basketball courts after finishing on top in both the A and B sections.<\/p>\n

Madibaz Sport deputy director Riaan Osman was delighted with the way the intervarsity unfolded.<\/p>\n

“There was a good vibe shared among the students both on and off the field,” he said. “The usual camaraderie and fierce competition among the students were clearly evident.<\/p>\n

“Our Madibaz teams are naturally proud of defending our intervarsity title which we won last year in Grahamstown.”<\/p>\n
