It was a nail-biting Senior Grand Challenge final as Germiston Simmer Rugby Club and Randburg Diggers took to the field at Wits, last Saturday.<\/p>\n

The local boys emerged triumphant, winning the match 24-21.<\/p>

Simmer started strong taking control of the first half and putting 17 points on the scoreboard before the half-time whistle.<\/p>\n

These points gave the side the edge they needed heading into the second half, with Randburg Diggers having to play catch-up.<\/p>

\u201cWhat a wonderful season with a wonderful team and a committed management who made things happen when asked,\u201d said coach Maree Bester.<\/p>\n
