Hudson Park look to end season on four game winning streak against Cambridge

After being successful in their last four games, most recently their 17-14 defeat of Dale College last Saturday, and amassing ten wins so far this season, Hudson Park will be looking for yet another win on Saturday. 

In addition to this, this will not be Hudson and Cambridge’s first encounter this year. On the 15th of April, the Eastern Cape rivals took the field which ultimately culminated in a 43-29 victory for Hudson Park. 

If Hudson Park are successful on Saturday, it will be their fourth consecutive win and their eleventh of the season. 

Another big rivalry taking place this weekend is Queen’s College vs Dale College. 

In a tradition that began over a century ago, in 1891, Queen’s and Dale will once again take the field this Saturday. 

To say that Queen’s has had a strong season would be an understatement, they have accumulated fourteen victories so far and will be looking for number fifteen this Saturday. 

One of their fourteen victories took place against Dale, at their first encounter, earlier this year. 

In 2019, Dale won on both occasions. After a two hiatus, in 2022, Queen’s took the victory at both encounters. 

Dale has certainly taken some big wins of their own this year, and if they are successful this Saturday, it will be their tenth this year. 

This rematch will definitely provide some high-stakes, competitive rugby.
