Potch Dorp Rugby Set to Open 2025 President League Season at Home

The 2025 rugby calendar enters a new chapter this weekend as Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub officially begins their campaign in the Luiperds Rugby Vision Sport President and Neser A Leagues. The opening round of fixtures on Saturday, 10 May will be hosted across two Potchefstroom venues, setting the stage for a full day of club rugby action.



The highlight? A top-tier clash against Sibanye Rugby Club, the 2024 Neser League champions, along with a women’s league semi-final, making it one of the busiest and most anticipated rugby days on the local calendar.


Matchday Schedule – Saturday, 10 May 2025


🏟️ Piet Bosman Park


  • 🕛 12:00 – Potch Dorp Women vs Ikageng (Semi-Final)

  • 🕑 14:00 – Potch Dorp 2 vs Sibanye 2 (Neser League)

  • 🕞 15:45 – Potch Dorp 1 vs Sibanye 1 (President League)


🏟️ Olën Park, B-Field


  • 🕐 12:45 – Potch Dorp 3 vs Sibanye 3


All three men’s teams will be in action, providing a rare full-club showcase for local supporters. The Women’s Team, currently in strong form, enters a pivotal knockout stage in their league campaign, facing Ikageng in a must-win semi-final.




A Heavyweight Opening Test


Facing Sibanye Rugby Club in the opening round is no easy task. The club claimed last year’s Neser title and is known for physicality, set-piece precision, and depth across all divisions. For Potch Dorp, this weekend represents not only a fresh start but also an early opportunity to measure themselves against one of the strongest units in the competition.


Atmosphere and Access

With games spread across both Piet Bosman Park and Olën Park, the club is encouraging the Potchefstroom community to turn out in numbers.


📢 No own alcohol or cooler boxes are permitted.

✅ A fully operational kitchen and bar will be available at Piet Bosman Park.
