Hoskins wins SARU battle

Friday 28th March 2008

Re-elected: Oregan Hoskins

Oregan Hoskins was re-elected as President at the South African Rugby Union's eighth annual general meeting in Woodstock on Friday.

Hoskins was re-elected for a second two-year term after seeing off the challenge of the union's deputy president, Mike Stofile, the brother of South African sports minister Makhenkesi Stofile.

Mark Alexander (Golden Lions) and Rautie Rautenbach (Falcons) won the seats for Deputy and Vice Presidents, respectively.

Hoskins said he was pleased to be given the opportunity to continue to lead the organisation, but that he would not seek a further two-year term when the next elections take place in 2010.
