SA Cup Round 3 – Toyota Cheetahs vs Airlink Pumas

The Toyota Cheetahs host the Airlink Pumas this Friday in what promises to be an exciting SA Cup encounter, with kick-off scheduled for 18:00. The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport.

Supporters can look forward to a full day of rugby and entertainment, with gates opening at 13:00. The matchday experience includes curtain-raiser fixtures, family-friendly activities, food vendors, and live entertainment.

Live music by Francois Bouwer will set the tone both before and after the main game, while the on-field action begins earlier with two curtain-raisers:

• 14:30 – Grey College U15 C vs Landboudal U15 A

Families are encouraged to make the most of the day. Primary school learners can enter for just R10 when wearing their school kit. The kids’ zone will feature a Toyota jumping castle, a Fidelity fire truck, and the CANSA Cheetah hair spraying station.

Fans will also have the opportunity to support a meaningful cause. The Toyota Cheetahs, in partnership with Thirsti, the Official Hydration, Spring Water and Sports Drink Partner, are driving awareness around testicular cancer. Thirsti will donate R1,000 for every try scored by the Toyota Cheetahs this season towards testicular cancer research. Supporters can get involved by taking part in the dunk tank at the Castle Deck.
