Defending champions FNB Kudu Rugby Club produced a powerful attacking display to secure a 55–38 victory over Montego United Rugby Club in the Premier League semi-final at the Hage Geingob Stadium in Windhoek.

The Walvis Bay side showed attacking intent from the outset, repeatedly finding gaps in the United defence and keeping the scoreboard ticking throughout the encounter. Montego United refused to surrender and responded with 38 points of their own in an entertaining, high-scoring contest. However, Kudu’s attacking strength ultimately proved decisive as the defending champions crossed the 50-point mark to book their place in the Premier League final.

The 93-point thriller delivered an open and attacking spectacle, with both teams contributing to a match that kept supporters engaged until the final whistle. For Kudu, the victory keeps their title defence firmly on track and leaves them one match away from lifting the Premier League trophy again. Kudus will face FNB Wanderers in the final after Wanderers produced an emphatic 60–27 victory over FNB Grootfontein in their semi-final clash. 

The final will now see the defending champions Kudu go head-to-head with Wanderers for Premier League honours, setting up a highly anticipated championship decider at the Hage Geingob Stadium in Windhoek on Saturday, 10 October.
