Published 4 September 2009 | By Supa Die Bloubul

The Leopards met Griquas in Potchefstroom tonight, where Griquas won a tight encounter, 34 / 33.

Griquas secured 5 Log points and kept their fight for a Currie Cup semi-final alive by scoring 4 tries and hanging on to defend a 1 point lead from a game Leopards team, who seems to be improving as the season unfolds.

The four-tries-to-two, bonus-point win cemented Griquas’ place in the top four and they could even find themselves in third place by the end of the weekend – depending on the Saturday matches.

For the Leopards it was scant consolation to get only a losing bonus point.
