April 25th, 2016 was a fantastic day for Ikey Tigers. For 14 hours one of the change rooms in our Neville Isdell Rugby Centre became a filming studio.
From 09h00 in the morning until the wee hours Ikey Tiger stories from across the last eight decades were relived, retold and recorded for posterity.
Caught on film:
- Pat Tebbutt
- Mpho Mbiyozo
- Fallon Hope
- Doc Moss
- Xhanti Nesi
- Guy Alexander
- John Le Roux
- Nathan Nel
- Dugald Macdonald
- John Dobson
- Gavin Sheldon
- Greg Fury
Without any leading it was scarcely believable to hear the consistency of Ikey Tiger experience over eighty years. We have a truly special club. The room was regularly filled with barrel-loads of laughter or left in silence after a particularly poignant thought was shared.
“The Spirit of Ikey Tigers”, a short film capturing the essence of Varsity rugby will premiere at the annual Ikey Tiger Black Tie Dinner on 10 June 2016.
