Central Gauteng a match away from SA IPT glory

THE promotion battle will come down to a showdown between Gauteng North and KwaZulu-Natal in today’s final round, but the A-Section battle for supremacy will depend on Western Province’s resolve and Ekurhuleni’s tenacity in today’s final round at the 55th South African Interprovincial.

Central Gauteng have been invincible over the first three days and kept their unbeaten record alive with an 8-4 result against Southern Cape yesterday for a fourth successive victory at Glendower Golf Club.

The defending champions are just one match away from a record 28th victory in the prestigious team championship, but the final round could prove their toughest test.

Central Gauteng top the log with eight points and 30 game points, but Ekurhuleni handed Eastern Province an 8.5-3.5 hiding to move into second.

With six points and 27 game points in hand, the host union still have an outside chance of lifting their first A-Section title.
