Maties and UJ will meet in the Varsity Hockey final on Monday after winning their semifinal clashes.
Maties secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over UP-Tuks, whilst UJ were dominant on home turf in their 2-0 victory over Kovsies.
Maties made the early running against UP-Tuks, with James Drummond finishing off a great run to open the scoring and they would hold their nerve well under pressure to book a place in the final and knock UP-Tuks out.
UJ were far more comfortable in their semifinal win over Kovsies, with the opening goal coming just before the first break after a scramble inside the D.
Their second came early in the second chukka through a well-worked short corner, and they were in cruise control for the rest of the match as they sealed a spot in the final.
Kovsies threw everything at them, but UJ absorbed the pressure well to set up a mouth-watering rematch against Maties who beat them in controversial fashion in Stellenbosch last week.
