Tactics will be the name of the game as GWK Griquas face a strong Blue Bulls team at Loftus Versveld on Friday night, kick-off 7 pm. Although Griquas narrowly beat the Leopards last Friday, coach Dawie Theron is not leaving any stone unturned for this encounter. His said “the players must forget about the last match, clear their heads  and refocus for this one, if they want to keep their clean record of wins, especiall against the Vodacom Cup holders”.

There are a number of ex-Griquas playing in the Bulls team, namely Tiger Mangweni, Jacques Burger and JP Joubert, who might still remember the Griquas pattern of play, but Therons main aim this week is to beat the Bulls on their home turf.
