I have finally confirmed through 2 separate sources that Neo Africa has withdrawn their sponsorship from the Tri Series event which was set to be held in less than a fortnight’s time. This will now result in the Lions missing out on a fixture and will only be travelling to Cape Town to play 1 game against the DHL Stormers on the 27th of January. [Read More]
