The rain did not keep supporters away or dampen players\u2019 spirits as Germiston Simmer Rugby Club tackled it out against Alberton Rugby Club on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The match played at the Germiston Stadium was the club\u2019s first home match in the Golden Lions Rugby Union Pirates Grand Challenge.<\/p>
The first teams were in action on the main field, and the wet weather meant there were a lot of handling errors from the get-go.<\/p>\n
The game started with a loose pass from inside centre Anton Coetzee in front of Simmer\u2019s poles landing in the hands of an Alberton player outside centre, who had an easy run in for seven points.<\/p>
This was soon neutralised as Coetzee made up for his error by scoring a try of his own.<\/p>\n
This was followed by a run in from wing, Armand van Dyk, to make the score 10-7 in favour of Simmer.<\/p>\n
Just before half-time an on-field incident saw two Simmer players and one Alberton player receive yellow cards.<\/p>\n
