Currie Cup finals - 27th October

In SA national rugby terms, Saturday evening was the absolute pinnacle. Sport fanatical town of Bloemfontein hosted the Currie Cup with their team, the Free State Cheetahs faced the Golden Lions (from Johannesburg).

No one could have anticipated the excitement generated by those 80minutes.
*6 minutes - Cheetahs 3 - Lions 0
*50 minutes - Cheetahs 6 - Lions 3
*60 minutes - Cheetahs 6 - Lions 15
*65 minutes - Cheetahs 6 - Lions 18
*68 minutes - Cheetahs 13 - Lions 18
*75 minutes - Cheetahs 18 - Lions 18
*77 minutes - Cheetahs 20 - Lions 18

With this win the Cheetahs become the 3rd time champion of the Currie Cup, this time not having to share it like last year.
