Spruitland Bunnies (U21)

The Spruitland Bunnies is Spruitland's National Under-21 Football team.

The Bunnies were hastily formed to participate in the 15th Under-21 World Cup. The nickname "bunnies", referring to Spruitland's national animal, the rabbit, was given to them by the Spruitland press and was initially resented by the players, but has since been generally accepted.
