After a reasonably successful year at the club we ended it off with a great awards dinner which was very well supported. Being the day before the Currie Cup final being hosted at Newlands it was quite fitting that we as a club closed off our year just before (We hoped) that Western Province sealed off theirs with a home Currie Cup win.

After a moving and emotional welcome by Chairman, Mike Reynolds, we all welcome Mkhuseli Faku (Executive Chairman, Calulo Investments) up as one of our main sponsors to say a few words about his rugby experiences as well as his involvement in Hammies.

After a great meal and a few fines we got stuck into the awards. Congratulations to all the nominee’s & winners. Below is a list of all the evenings winners.
