The Suzuki Griquas and Airlink Pumas are set to contest the 2026 Carling Currie Cup Premier Division final this Saturday at 15:00 in Kimberley. The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport.

Defending champions Suzuki Griquas, led by Pieter Bergh, enter the final after finishing the regular season at the top of the table. Following an initial loss, the team secured six consecutive victories, recording 271 points and maintaining the tournament’s best defensive record. This follows their 52-12 semi-final win over the Fidelity ADT Lions.

Coached by Jimmy Stonehouse, the Airlink Pumas are seeking their second title. While their regular season was more closely contested with a points differential of +6, they hold a historical advantage, having defeated the Griquas in the 2022 final at the same venue. Although the Griquas won their most recent league encounter 38-14, the Pumas have held an advantage in their last five overall fixtures.
