The University of the Free State Kovsies has continued to impress in the 2018 edition of the Varsity Netball after claiming their fourth win on the bounce in the highly popular tournament. During the first round, they fired a clear warning shot by convincingly beating the defending champions, the University of Pretoria, 68-43 in Bloemfontein. Kovsies backed that up with a 69-29 drubbing of the University of Johannesburg at a day later at the Callie Human Hall on the campus.
