Affies did not have their best season so far and lost their last three games against Boishaai (14-19), Glenwood (34-37) and Grey College (28-39) before their fixture against Jeppe. Jeppe, on the other hand, had their tails up with their only loss being against Selborne (3-19) a month before this game. Jeppe definately the overwhelming favourites.
