At some stage it seemed as if the match would go into extra time but OP broke the deadlock by scoring the only try with about 10 minutes remaining in the match after the teams were still level 3-3 at halftime. These two teams also met in the 2012 final.
The Dean of the Faculty, Prof Gerry Swan, who also attended the match congratulated the players and coaching staff in a special message and said that the team has made the Faculty extremely proud.
The victory also means that Steinhoff OP will represent Tuks in next year's Steinhoff House Champs league.
