De Allende to become yet another “small” school Bok

14 August, 2014 beet 0

Who says you have to go to a big fancy traditional rugby school to become a modern day Springbok rugby player.  Milnerton old boy Damien de Allende will become Springbok number 862 when he runs onto the field in the Green and Gold on Saturday. It will be a proud moment for the player, his loved ones, his supporters and his old school. All who are affiliated to non-mainstream rugby schools should also find cause to rejoice.…

ABSA u19 Currie Cup – Week 6 teams & results

14 August, 2014 beet 24

Of interest this weekend is that HTS Middelburg’s reliable scrummy Rowan Gouws starts for the Sharks while regular captain Ayron Schramm is ruled out by injury and flu. The strong Free State team’s starting lineup includes Limpopo sprinter Arno van Staden who came off the bench last weekend to score two tries in the win against the Leopards. Glenwood’s Corne Vermaak who’s had off the field issues to take car of also finds a spot on the bench this weekend. Outeniqua’s powerful no.8 Dian Koen is at long last called on to be a reserve for WP. Two really good hookers go head to head when Pieter Jansen (EG Jansen, Golden Lions) takes on JP Jamieson (Kingswood/Grey PE, EP Kings). The Lions regular flyhalf Shaun Reynolds (Goudveld) is out meaning that Jameel Warnick of Garsfontein steps in. He will be up against the versatile Jason Baggott who usually plies his trade at scrumhalf…

Die Burger Trophy 2014 – Large Schools

11 August, 2014 beet 22

Die Burger still seems to be struggling to establish itself as a knock-out tournament of significance.

The concept for this small Cape coastal belt competition is borrowed from the highly successful Noordvaal Beeldtrofee (formerly Administrators’ Cup) and is therefore a good one.…

Match report: Glenwood beats Maritzburg College 21-20

11 August, 2014 beet 171

Maritzburg College versus Glenwood games on Goldstones in Pietermaritzburg should carry a health warning. The closing stages of the last four matches between the KwaZulu-Natals intercity rivals on the famous ground have gone down to the wire. There is no ways this can be good for the hearts or nerves of the respective supporters but boy does it make for entertaining to watch rugby. …

“Once again and for the third successive year Dale College First Rugby XV will wear their Pink Strip of Pink jerseys and shorts to highlight the disease of Cancer when Dale College and a formidable Selborne College play the 189th game against each other in King William’s Town. This history of rugby rivalry goes back to 1892! Dale’s sort after motivating Pink Strip is only worn by Dale once a year at present. The initiative and motivation behind Pink Day at Dale and playing in Pink strip to highlight Cancer is still possibly a first for any South African schools”…

Top 30 Combo Rankings – using 7 school rugby websites

Glenwood needs the Goldstones win to be absolutely sure of 1st place

5 August, 2014 beet 228

Glenwood will travel up the N3 freeway to Maritzburg College’s Goldstones on Saturday in search of a win period. The bonus will be that if they achieve it, they will be the undisputed No.1 team in KwaZulu-Natal for the 2014 season. Defeat would open up a potentially lively debate about who the best team in KwaZulu-Natal is in 2014 as it would probably result in College finishing ahead of Glenwood on a few different national ranking systems including the BHP used on this website.…
