Considering their history, tonight Varsity Netball semi-final between the University of the Free State and the North West University promises to be a thrilling encounter.


After 7 rounds of fiercely contested netball action, the Varsity Netball competition for 2017 has reached the knockout stages.

In semi-final 1, which will be played at 17:00, the University of Pretoria Tuks will welcome the Stellenbosch University Maties to the Rembrand Hall in Pretoria.

The NWU Pukke will in their turn travel to Bloemfontein for the second time in 2 weeks as these rival teams met in the final round robin matches of the tournament which came down to the wire with Pukke edging the Kovsies by 44-48.

Pukke has been tipped as favorites to win the clash considering they have remained unbeaten throughout the competition winning 7 out of a possible 7 matches.

The Kovsies in their turn will be looking to learn from last week's nail-biting defeat to the Pukke and make use of what was essentially a test run for the semi's.

This evening's Varsity Netball semi-final between the Kovsies and the Pukke will start at 19:00.
