The 31st edition of the SA Fish Industries tournament will kick off at the Smit Sports Grounds in Velddrif on the West Coast on Friday where 16 teams from the surrounding fish factories will battle it out for top honours in the annual event.

The competition, which was the brainchild of the late Dr Danie Craven, former Springbok centre Ian Kirkpatrick and former Proteas skipper Dougie Dyers, was first held in Saldanha in 1987, with the objective of offering players working in the fishing industry an opportunity to participate in sport and to wear the colours of their employers.

The tournament features four pools of four teams, who will each play two round-robin matches of 30 minutes on Friday and one on Saturday before the top teams go head-to-head in the knock-out stages. The top two teams will battle it out in the Final.

The opening day’s play will feature 16 matches, with defending champions, Combined Abalone Processors, taking on Sea Pride at 10h00, while Doringbaai will meet Spot-on-Deals at 20h00.

Sea Harvest, who went down by one point in last season’s final, meanwhile, will take on Sea Vuna in their opening match at 10h40.
