Griquas (rugby)
Griquas, currently known as ''ORC Griquas'' due to a sponsorship deal with Upington-based Orange River Cellars, are a South African rugby union team that participates in the annual Currie Cup tournament. Their home ground is Hoffe Park Stadium, known for sponsorship reasons as Griquas Park in Kimberley, and they draw their players mostly from Northern Cape Province. They were previously known as Griqualand West. They have won the Currie Cup three times, in 1899, 1911 and 1970, and the Vodacom Cup five times.
==History==
The rugby team was established in 1886 in the former British colony of Griqualand West. Five years later, during the 1891 British Lions tour to South Africa, Griqualand West played the British Lions in Kimberley and although they lost 3–0, the British presented them with the Currie Cup, as they thought that Griqualand West produced the best performance out of the provincial games on their tour. The Currie Cup became South Africa's domestic prize, and Griqualand West first won it in 1899. Griqualand West subsequently won the Currie Cup in 1911. After the introduction of official annual championships in 1969, Griqualand West won the final the next season, defeating Northern Transvaal 11–9 to claim their third title. Since then, Griquas have not won the Currie Cup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Currie Cup Finals History )〕
