SA Sports Calendar: June 2004
Brad Morgan
June is a relatively quiet sporting month, but it definitely has some big highlights. The Comrades Marathon takes place on the sixteenth, while the Springboks kick off their international season with a tough two-Test series against Ireland.
The PSL season draws to a close early in the month,
while about 20 000 runners can be expected in Durban for the Spar/Mercury Ladies' 10-kilometre Challenge, less than a week after the coastal city hosts the start of the Comrades.
