Semi-final stakes high for Griquas in Johannesburg

September 05, 2025

THE RACE for the 2025 Carling Currie Cup semifinals comes down to the final round this weekend, with five teams fighting for four places and just five log points separating them.

- LANCE FREDERICKS

For the Suzuki Griquas, the focus is clear: beat the Fidelity ADT Lions in Johannesburg tomorrow evening and a home semifinal is secured, with all the Suzuki Park ‘gees’ that brings in its wake.

The Kimberley side have been in outstanding form, stringing together five consecutive victories since their opening-round defeat, including notable wins over the Bulls and Cheetahs.

Sitting on top of the log, they hold their fate firmly in their own hands. A win will ensure a semifinal in Kimberley; a loss without bonus points could see them slip as low as fourth if other results go against them.
