@Vleis: That is what schoolboy rugby is all about. It means more to the boys than anything else. That is the reality that makes us all love it, but is also the biggest challenge because some are taking the winning too far.
@Roger: Based on SJC’s result v Helpies, I suspect that KES will win by a very wide margin. That said, SJC often up their game when they meet their old rival.
St Alban’s rowing is always in the top 3 (in SA), their cricket is mostly in the top 20 (was at 3 last year); their water polo is often in the top 10; their hockey is often in the top 10, while their basketball is mostly in the top 3. Their rugby, on the other hand, is almost never in the top 40 even…and yet, despite the low player numbers due to competing sports and being a small school, rugby is definitely the game that fires the school up and pulls it together!
@Roger: The founding fathers must be turning in their graves
@Vleis: I see there are more hockey fixtures for KES vs St Johns than rugby – that must be a first.
18 rugby fixture and 20 hockey fixtures with 4 more to be arranged – sign of the times?!
@Vleis: KES play them on Sat – not sure what to expect from either team!
@Die Ken: Mos maar bekend as jintelmanne!…
@Tang: Afraid the sentiment is good, but belongs back in the era when we had oranges at halftime…in the immortal words of Bob Dylan “The times they are a changing”…
Whether we like it or not, what worked in the past will not always work now and different ways of doing things is inevitable. Gone are the days when boys went to the nearest high school around the corner and only old boys kids were sent to their father’s Alma Maters… It is all about Brand Awareness and Brand Positioning…and schools have very prominent brands nowadays. Rankings per se are not the cause of the changes…it is merely part of it …very few people outside rugby circles even knows about rankings, but they are still aware of the schools because of its rugby success..Schools like Grey Bloem, Affies, Paul Roos, Paarl Gim , Bishops (to name a few) was well known for its rugby long before there were even a hint of a ranking system. Schools have to attract learners to be able to pick the best…and being good at rugby is a big drawcard..that is one fact that has always remains.
@Roger: Yep, a big surprise.
Being a small school, quite a few 1st team rugby boys also play 1st team water polo, cricket, etc, so they were not involved until trials last Monday….and practice thereafter was limited due to the school’s open days on Thurs & Fri.
It’s a worrying start, but I’m sure that they will improve.
I wonder what is going on at St John’s? They got hammered by Helpies despite having ten players that were in the squad for the last match of 2014.
@Vleis: I see St Albans lost to St Davids – bit of a surprise?
@Tang: @Playa: As far as I’m aware, the 2014 u16 group all joined in grade 8, apart from two boys, who joined at the end of grade 9, or the start of grade 10.
The resurgence in Jeppe’s sport (esp. rugby) has had a massive knock-on impact on applications. Per Dean Laing, in 2014 Jeppe had 1000 applicants for an intake of 200.
@Playa – I am all for the awarding of scholarships and bursaries for children who wouldn’t normally be able to attend some of the great Model C and Private schools we have in this country. In fact, I believe this is absolutely vital for this country to go through a full and meaningful transformation.
I know a little about the Theo Jackson fund and I think this is the primary intention of the fund.
I would just hate to see the fund hijacked from awarding to deserving individuals and being awarded to pupils who may bring sporting glory.
I know scholarships have been around way before rankings. I do, however, believe that rankings and the rise in the number of scholarships have gone hand in hand. In fact, I predict that they will only get worse.
It becomes like the law of diminishing returns. So much emphasis is placed on rugby results and being ranked that schools will do anything to maintain their rankings and performance. If each school follows this approach the only thing that can happen is more and more money is thrown at the problem.
My fundamental belief is that school sport is a privilege and not a right. The level of professionalism in school sport is so out of control and we are forgetting the very reason our children should be playing sport.
@BoishaaiPa: Dis darem maar mooi woorde van Boishaai af!
@Rugbyman: Hy het, in min woorde, “gevra” of die manne daar in die Transvaal net gevoer word, siende dat hul so groot is.
@Ploegskaar: Ek weet Oakdale en Selborne is defenitief aanspraakmakers. Sal hulle goed dop Hou. Dankie!
@Tang: I get where you’re coming from. Just a question: Are you against the awarding of scholarships/bursaries to deserving (yet affording) kids who excel in sport and are academically astute? Especially at grade 8? From my understanding the majority of those 2014 under 16s came in grade 8. I could be wrong.
I am anti the acquisition for the sake of bolstering a team’s performance – worse when it happens at higher grades, and I 100% agree with you that more emphasis should be put on awarding academic bursaries than sports ones. Sports bursaries, however, have been there long before rankings and sponsorships etc, though one can rightfully say they were not done in a manner that is as sinister as today’s version. Universities too offer them, with academic clauses attached to them – which is what I believe schools should do.
@Roger – I share your sentiments about Jeppe. Great to see them back and doing well.
The only reason I raised the red flag is that I would hate to see Jeppe pursue a win at all costs approach. It is just not sustainable and will alienate the traditional rivals. Hence my comparison to KZN.
@Rugbyman It is a concern to me because it fundamentally changes the ethos of the school. You may or may not know that the Milner schools are Jeppe Boys, KES, Pretoria Boys and Potchefstroom Boys.
These schools were founded on the principal that sport is a vital part of education but boys go to school for academics first and sport second. This means awarding a bursary/ scholarship should be for academic advancement rather than for sporting glory.
Boys High and Jeppe have a traditional rivalry and I would hate to see this tainted by one schools obsession to become a perennial top 10 team.
You only have to look at the KZN comments to see what has happened to the traditional rivalries in KZN.
I am all for Jeppe doing well at sport. I would just be saddened if the desire for glory is built on putting sport before academics. Once you embark on this route, it becomes a vicious cycle. To maintain top 10 status, you have to make more acquisitions, etc.
I hope this explains my reason for concern.
I raised a question and I did say I may be way out of line (and I hope I am). Jeppe have always been a fantastic school to compete against.
The perfomance of school boy teams should be cyclical if all things are left equal. However, with the advent of rankings and the perceived glory this brings to a school, many schools take steps to reduce the cyclical impact. Acquiring of players is now accepted as common practice. Scholarships and bursaries are handed out to make a school perform on the sports field rather than to remove inequality in our education system.
Most bloggers on this site support schools who have so much to provide for this country to transform. If we placed half as much value on awarding a pure academic scholarship as we do on sports scholarships, the rate of economic benefit would be enormous.
Less than 1% of children will go on to play professional sport. 99% will need to be well educated and compete in a global economy. These numbers alone should tell you where the emphasis should be placed.
@Tang: Jeppe’s U16 team last year were rated 2nd in the country after Monnnas (I think) – they beat Affies comfortably and are bladdy good. This is their first year at Open level and it seems they are coping well if they beat Kempies. @Rugbyman: Are Kempies rated this year?
I think its great that Jeppe are up there once again – not so great for KES though
2016 will be there dream team
@BoishaaiPa: nee wat my boi…. ek weet genoeg vd kaap om verseker te weet boishaai het n meant team… julle kannie onder die radar bly nie al wil julle…
@Tang: Why is this a concern to u? Jeppe had a great u16 team last year… how the award bursaries, to who and why should not be your concern in my opinion…
@Rugbyman: En ongelukkig word die game nie op papier gespeel nie…Ons sal maar eers wag en kyk hoe die seisoen verloop….daar is nie te veel verwagtinge nie…Nuwe span, nuwe jaar…Vanjaar is dit PRG se grote hier in die Weskaap en ons wens hulle die beste van seisoene toe…Die spotlight is op hulle…ons sal hier op die rand rondbeweeg en agtergrond musiek lewer
Are Jeppe Boys the Glenwood of Johannesburg. How a rugby programme can be transformed in a matter of three to four years is a mystery to me.
I know the Theo Jackson fund is a great initiative and I am fully supportive of the concept. I just wonder if all the bursaries are being granted to sportsman rather than those who can’t afford fees. In other words, the fund is driving sports scholarships rather than helping the disadvantaged. I could be way out of line and if I am, then I withdraw my question about Jeppe.
@Ploegskaar: @Cappie: hulle moet plek maak vir boland ook vermoed ek… verseker oakdale…
Die manne van die 2 plase geniet dit om so onder die radar te operate…
@Die Ken: wat het Org gesê…? Lyk of sy post verdwyn het?
@BoishaaiPa: ag jammer man… was nie aspris nie!
@Rugbyman: Asb..Dis Boishaai…’n ou speling op die woorde want die plattelandse boere kon nie lekker “Boys High” uitspreek nie…as ek nou elke keer Garsfontein mis spel en julle Gapsfontein noem gaan jy ook moerig raak…
@Org: Jy trap nou op dun ys, ‘n paar bloggers gaan gal braak as jy iets meer as voer, aanvoer as n rede
@kwartlyn: Ek skryf nooit rerig baie oor my eie span nie… Tyd sal maar leer hoe goed hulle is…
@Rugbyman: Ek lees hierbo al jou skrywes en jy is of baie diplomaties of jy begin voorspraak maak teenoor al jou oppinente van die jaar, dit blyk jy is baie bekommerd oor jou span die jaar jy skryf al die spanne op maar se niks van jou eie. Maar jy hoef mos nie so bekommerd te wees nie want ek het julle mos al voorheen gese n gemiddelde span word goed gemaak deur n goeie afrigter
@Cappie: Ouboet, jy moet maar plekmaak vir Oakdale en Selborne in daai T10 van jou…
My voorspelling vir top 10 in geen spesifieke volgorde nie is:
Monument
Grey
Paul Roos
Jeppe
Waterkloof
Garsfontein
Affies
Paarl Gim
Paarl Boys
EG Jansen
@AffiePa: Die 0’16 wedstryd tussen Jeppe en Affies was in die weegskaal tot in die doodsnikke, toe Affies ‘n bal aanslaan op Jeppe se doellyn wat hulle die oorwinning sou besorg het.
Die eerste span wedstryd was ook baie gelykop, met Affies wat in die laaste 10 min eers kon voorloop. Jeppe is defenitief ‘n span om hierdie jaar dop te hou, en maak ook aanspraak op ‘n top 10 posisie.
@AffiePa: You look much better with clothes on.
@Rugbyman:
@AffiePa: tx…. jys nou ‘n ghost….
@Vleis: Daai einste graad 11’s het ons verlede jaar n les geleer daar by Jeppe
@beet my avatar is gone ??? does not show at all – can you please dress me – thanks
@Rugbyman: Ja hulle het vandag gespeel
@Vleis: was dit vandag?
Jeppe 24 Kempton Park 12.
Jeppe’s grade 11s scored 19 of their points, so the step-up to open rugby has started well for them.
Ek sien Jeppe het vir Kempies gewen – Jeppe is ook n baie sterk groep vanjaar.
EG Jansen het n baie goeie span maar hulle speel elke jaar die selfde rugby en het al n paar games van die groep seun al gekyk van 0/14 af. En hulle het nog nie n sterk span gespeel so ver die jaar nie so ek dink Monnas gaan die een wen. Ek dink hulle gaan hulle nr15 Martin van Wyk wat n gamebreaker was baie mis en hulle nr12 Delano Kotzé wat n groot skop skoen gehad het en wat baie games vir hulle gewen het. As mens hulle voor kan stop maar dis waar hulle seker een van die sterkste spanne is die jaar.
@Vleis: I havent seen them, so I cant say…. on paper though they have an excellent team
@Rugbyman: What about Affies? I’d put a lot of cash on Affies finishing in the top three teams in the North this year. The game v EG Jansen on 2 April will be a cracker!
@Rugbyman: As 0/16s het die jaargroep vir Monnas 33-10 geklop by Gim se o/16 toernooi. Baie water het egter sederdien in die see geloop, so ek sal nie te veel daarin lees nie.
@Lions: Dis nog early days en harde werk lê voor…. ek dink egter steeds EG en Monnas is die manne hierbo om te klop…. ek hoor paarl booishaai is ook wild op papier… en die ander span wat almal oor stil is, is Oakdale… hulle was o/16 awesome….
@Die Ken: Gevoer sê jy?
@Lions:
Soos wat hulle tellings wys is en gaan hulle weer n baie moeilike span wees om te klop.
Rugbyman : Ek dink julle agterlyn is baie beter as 2014 se agterlyn want julle 11,14 en15 gaan die bal darm baie meer sien en is baie gevaarlik as julle kans gaan kry.
@Lions: 8 is oor…
@Maroon: Ek hoor jou, liewers versigtig optimisties, en dis nie ‘n verskoning nie
@Die Ken: die matriekgroep van vanjaar het as 0/14’s laas ‘n verloor gehad. Ek dink nie die pak hoef vir te veel terug te staan nie
@Hippo67: Wat bedoel jy met die Garsies span is weer omgekrap. @Rugbyman: Hoeveel van Garsfontein se spelers van 2014 het julle in die jaar se span.
@Die Ken:
Daai pak is giftig veral daai twee slotte en 7,8.
@Rugbyman:
Die twee pakke weeg baie goed op, Monnas se twee slotte is baie goed maar so ook die van EG, skrums is EG net-net voor en by die lostrio is dinge net so gelykop, nommer 7 van Monnas is en lyk na n baie goeie speler. Losskakel van EG baie skerp en daai twee senters van hulle kan beslis verdedig. Dink nie daar gaan meer as 7 punte verskil wees nie.
Nog nie Garsies gesien die jaar nie maar wat ek lees en hoor is daai span van julle weer omgekrap. Sien uit om julle manne te sien speel. Lyk my die Kloof het ook weer n goeie span.
@Hippo67: wat ek bedoel is, ek dink nie ons het die pak om hul aan te vat nie. Die Boere daarbo word deesdae groot gevoer
@Hippo67: Ok. Ons slaan Monnas by St Johns, en om eerlik te wees, is ek huiwerig. dink ook ons kan hul agter beetkom, dis moeilik as jy op die agtervoet is.
@Hippo67: moet met jou saamstem rondom die EG agterlyn… ek dink dis waar hulle die edge op monnas het… behoort n baie, baie goeie game te wees….
@Die Ken:
Net ses van daai span het oorgebly en vyf van hulle is in die eerste twee games beseer en uit vir tussen 2-8 weke. Span is ook baie klein in vergelyking met van die ander spanne wat ek al sien speel het hierdie jaar. Die wedstryd tussen EG en Monument gaan iets wees om te sien, dink op hierdie stadium is EG se agterlyn dalk net bietjie gevaarliker as die van Monnas.
@Hippo67: Het julle manne nie laasjaar net-net teen die magtige AHS verloor nie?
@Die Ken:
Dinge by die Woeries lyk baie sleg en ek vermoed dat dit die naweek teen Transvalia nie veel beter sal gaan nie en dat die meeste wedstryde weer voor die tyd gestop sal word. Soos “Rugbyman” tereg opgemerk het daar is baie interne probleme en politiek asook n negatiwiteit onder die kinders, kortliks die “hart” om te wil wen en te presteer is missing. Baie sad om te sien dat die Woeries se sport in die algeheel so agteruitgaan en dit lyk nie asof daar rerig iemand is wat bereid is om die juk op te vat en hulle uit de gemors te lei nie want soos dit nou aangaan gaan hulle binne n paar jaar heeltemal verdwyn.
@Die Ken:
@Dok F: PJ Toerien is al langer in Garsfontein as wat hy ‘n tier was…
Gaan puik met hulle dankie…
Sê my bietjie… hoe gaan dit met die 3 tiere wat Jan van Riebeeck toe is en die o/16 man wat boishaai toe is…? Lyk my julle verloor nogal baie seuns…? Enige spesifieke rede daarvoor?
@Rugbyman. Hoe gaan dit met die 3 Tiere daar in julle span. Hoop hulle vaar goed – 2 x PJ en Austin
@Rugbyman: Jy moet pasop, hul gaan die Doktor inroep om jou te roskam.
@Die Ken: visvang is ‘n geduldige sport…
@Rugbyman: dit het nogal ‘n ruk gevat vir die eerste man om te byt!
@jakes: Dankie
@speler23: gebaseer op aantal seuns wat rugby speel, dus aantal spanne wat in die veld gestoot kan word – dis hoekom mo$rse skole soos Noordheuwel, daarmee wegkom om Groot skole en nie Makro te speel nie.
@tzavosky: Jy sien, noooit te oud om te leer nie
@Rugbyman: Oh well, almal kan nie die beste wees nie
@Bulle: LOL
Eerste vissie aan die lyn! Nee wat werf en bemark is maar baie dieselfde! Ander skole se nuus is tog so interessant, dink jy nie?
maar ek sien nou nie hierdie brokkie as nuus nie… ter inligting dink ek persoonlike gesprekke met sekere kinders se ouers is in my boek full on werwing… nie dat ek enige probleem daarmee het nie…. dis mos maar n vrye mark en pretoria is groot…. eks seker menlo en kloof sal ook hulle innings met dieselfde seuns hê, voeg dan glennwood by en die ouers het nogal ‘n wye verskeidenheid van opsies…
Lekker aand!
@valke: We also seem to be missing this in KZN at the moment. Not too many “Brekers” around. Defences are dominating.
@Rugbyman: Weet j wat is d verskil tussen werf en bemark? Obvious nie, want jy bemoei jou meer met ander skole se nuus as j eie
ek dink self dit wedstryd tussen EG Janssen en Monnas gaan baie hard wees.
punte verskil so 5 wees kante toe
Kemton was nog nooit maklik nie maar gee dit vir Garsfontein met 10
hoeveel van Garsfontein se spelers van 2014 het oor gebly
@tzavosky: Ja, ek onthou toe Jeppe se o15 span gesukkel het om Pietersburg te klop n paar jaar terug. Hulle het met drie punte gewen, as ek reg onthou. Jeppe se o17 groep is ook baie sterk.
@valke: Die span wat nou in matriek is het teen monas in die finaal van die tuks reeks gespeel toe hulle o/16 was… So eks oortuig daarvan dis ‘n goeie span! Sien uit na ‘n lekker game!
@jakes: Kempies het nie heeltemal dieselfde gamebreakers wat hulle die laaste 2 jaar gehad het nie, maar hulle het een van die beste afrigters wat ek nog in ons streek gesien het, so Rugbyman, jy is reg. Dit kan ‘n harde een wees.
Dit is ook ‘n bietjie vroeg in die seisoen vir hulle. Hulle het die laaste paar jaar gewys dat hulle veel beter vaar later in die seisoen. Gebruik gewoonlik die deel van die seisoen om kombinasies te toets. Vaar gewoonlik veel beter in Beeld as in Tuks reeks.
@jakes: Nog nooit enige maklike game teen Kempies gesien nie… Dit gaan kliphard en vining wees!
@Babbelas: Presies. Volgens Saschoolsports se ranglys vir 016-spanne (vir wat dit werd is) was hulle 14de verlede jaar.
Interessant genoeg was Ben Vorster 15de en sedert o14 was die uitslag tussen die twee meestal baie naby, met PHS wat elke keer gewen het. Hulle het ook teen mekaar gespeel in die Beeld-finaal, en die telling was 25-23, as ek reg onthou.
Die Ken– EG Jansen en Monument speel op Monnas se velde.. Garsfontein en Kempton Park speel ook Saterdag..dit kan natuurlik ook ‘n groot game wees..Kempies mag dalk verras..
Jammer
@speler23: Jy het Waterkloof vergeet.
@Rugbyman: baie dankie vir die inligting dit help my baie
wil graag weet of dit nog so is soos 25 jaar terug om by makro skole te speel gaan oor die hoeveelheid seuns by die skool en nie hoe sterk jy is nie
het die Beeld trofee se streke hierdie jaar verander of nie.?
Skole om dop te hou is
Garsfotein
Monnas
EG Jansen
Kempton
HTS Middelburg
@tzavosky: Pietersburg se 0 17 groep is baie sterk die jare. Die kern van die span kom van Oos skool af!
@Cappie: Ek hoop ook so
Maritzburg College, wat verlede jaar ‘n sterk span gehad het, het ‘n moeilike toer deur die vrystaat gehad met ‘n naelskraap oorwinning oor Voortrekker en ‘n verloor teen Hentie Cilliers. Ek hoop nie dit is hulle volle eerste span nie, want dan sien ek ‘n lang seisoen wat voorlê vir hulle.
Pietersburg het ‘n mooi wen gehad oor Florida.
Monnas en EG Jansen behoort weer onder die top 10 te eindig hierdie jaar. Groot stryd tussen hulle so in die begin van die seisoen.
@Rugbyman: Haha, maar dis seker maar die waarheid. Die antwoord wat jy voorhou word egter baie goed verdoesel deur sekere skole nou en in die verlede
@Die Ken: Moenie Pietersburg onderskat nie. Ek vermoed hulle Gr11’s maak die meerderheid van die 1ste span uit. Die meeste van hulle was lede van die Limpopo o13 span wat die CW in 2011 gewen het (vir wat dít werd is).
Maar hulle was deur die oudersdomgroepe elke jaar ‘n sterk span en het verlede jaar die Beeld grootskole gewen teen sterk kompetisie.
@speler23: In Pretoria alleenlik is daar ‘n A en B bond vir makro skole… Garsies, Menlo en Waterkloof is in die A-bond en dan is Eldoraigne, Centurion, Wonderboom, Montana en HTS John Vorster in die A-bond. A 1 en 2 gaan direk deur na die uitspele van die Beeld Trofee terwyl A 3 moet uitspeel teen B1… In die ander streke is daar net Makro, Groot, Medium en Klein… Daar is nie ‘n makro-B nie…
Sommige skole in Pretoria het gekies om die makro skole afdeling in ‘n A en B bond op te breek. Hulle sê dat hulle nie teen Garsies, Kloof en Menlo kan deelneem nie en dat die tellings te groot is… Dis waar die hele storie vandaan kom…
@Rugbyman: Hi kan jy my s^e hoe die A,B,C,en D bond vir makro skole werk want ek wil graag saam praat maar eers verstaan hoe alles werk om ‘n mening te lig
@Babbelas: Die stut is ‘n yster. Jammet hy het ‘n ernstige besering verlede jaar gehad. Ek is bly hy is weer reg. As ek dit nie mis het nie het hy vir een van die Valke O/16 spanne gespeel voor sy pa getrek het.
Stutte wat slotte word en dan losvoorspeller klink my gebeur van tyd tot tyd. Pikkie de Villiers was O/12 Bulle ‘n stut en het tot O/16 stut gespeel. O/17 speel hy slot en O/18 8 ste man. Nou is hy flank vir UJ se young guns.
Bly om te sien die jong manne doen so goed.
@Rugbyman: Ai Rugbyman, hoe kan jy dit nou se, Affies koop mos nie……………en Modonna is a virgin!
@Rugbyman: Hoor hoor. Maar Affies se voedingsarea is mos die hele SA
@Babbelas: terwyl jy nou so praat van wierdapark se sterk span is dit vir my interessant dat die affie werwers hard ingezoom het op laerskool garsfontein se graad 7s… Laerskool garsfontein het hulle beste 1ste span ooit, en ek weet dat die affie manne groot inbeweeg het in hulle nuwe voedings area in…
Ek meen, affies se voedingsarea is mos maar wyd?
Wat sal n maandag nou wees sonder so bietjie stirring…?
My post sal verseker die affie manne hard aan die gang sit met sekerlik n paar nydige antwoorde!
@Die Ken: Ek vermoed daar is maar interne probleme… hulle was altyd n moeilike span om teen te speel… ek hoor maar stories so deur kennisse van wat daar aangaan en dit klink nie goed nie… maar dis hoorsê! Ek hoop egter hulle kan hul huis in orde kry, hulle het n trotse geskiedenis! As ek so luister na die probleme is daar geen “quickfix” nie…. Dit sal ‘n lang proses moet wees met mense aan die spits wat baie moeite sal moet doen met passie en wysheid, anders is ek bevrees is die skrif aan die muur
@jakes: EG het ‘n baie goeie span… maar pasop vir te veel selfvertroue… dit was al menige span se ondergang…
@kosie: Die 0 17 groep is inderdaad ‘n kannie dood groep. Hulle het 0 15 in Beeld finaal gespeel. Die kern van daai groep kom van Wierdapark Laerskool wat Super 12 en Bondedae gereeld gewen het van onder 9 tot onder 13.
Dis jammer dat 2 spelers van daai groep nie vir Eldoraigne behoue gebly het nie en nou vir Affies en Glenwood speel. Ook 2 van die 0 18 groep wat nou by Grey is!
@kosie: Loskop Nathan Prinsloo was uitstaande. So ook 8 ste man Brendan Heymans tot voor sy besering.
Jammerte dat 3 sleutelspelers almal Gr 12 beseer is. Teen die einde was daar 8 gr 11’s op die veld!
@Babbelas: One is Dylan Weideman, I see he was a prop in the Bulls Under13 side in 2011, not sure where he is from? Another is I think Arlu Venter, well that is what people were shouting….mystery to me…
@Grasshopper: Are the new lock from Waterkloof? If he is the player I am thinking of, he is actually a loos head prop. This must be the first time he is playing lock!
@Woltrui: Moet erken, Florida se groot verloor teen Pietersburg is ‘n helse skok.
@Wyvern: That’s only this coming Saturday.
@jakes: Where are they playing…could be a determining factor
Dankie Beet vir my trui
@Rugbyman: Ek hoor van my swaerie dat die junior A-spanne se games ook gestop was…Monnas se o/16s was +- 50-0 halftyd voor! Wat is fout by die Woeries? Hulle was sedert die laat 2000s ‘n lekker bulspan, en nou?
Wow , now I am getting excited about EG Jansen after their last two performances..A massive strong pack of forwards and backline moves which will make the Springboks proud..a brilliant combination..Saturday against Monnas will be a real tester for them..and will be a game breaker in the Tuks reeks..two of the favorites early in the season together with Garsfontein and Eldoraigne off course..the Tuks Reeks in 2015 will be the toughest for the top 8 in years..BUT I can not see any team beating EG Jansen easily this year
@Beet – Unfortunately I did not see the trial match at PBHS on Saturday (First vs Seconds). I have only had brief feedback from a few dads who were present.
I hear the pace of the game was very high and both sides showed excellent conditioning. Apparently a few changes were made at half time and these seemed to yield reward for the first team.
By all accounts, the PBHS pack is relatively small but seem pretty strong for their size. Once the match settled down, it was a good contest and both teams showed flashes of potential but made too many early season errors to read much into form for the season ahead.
No doubt PBHS need the Kloof fixture before heading into three extremely tough fixtures at Saints.
Hopefully PBHS can get another warm up match in before the Saints festival.
@Beet – I am not sure. It was not on the PBHS fixture list and I did hear some talk of shortened halves. However, this is hearsay and I am not sure.
Agree fully that it is a full fixture if all the usual apply.
No matter how you look at this, it is a tough fixture for PBHS first up.
@easyflow: Yes Queen’s beat Port Rex by 70 odd but no one kept score in an unofficial capacity, so will make a request for the score from Queen’s
@Tang: I think the term “preseason” needs to be properly defined.
Shortened game, external trial matches with chukkas or experimenting fits into a preseason definition. However if its a full length match featuring the 1st XV with proper laws of SBR being applied is a game that counts towards the regular season.
Hi Beet
Kan jy vir my ‘n EG Jansen trui gee
hoe werk die afdelings vir die skole ? Wil graag weet is n nuwe bloger
ek onder steun skole rugby al lank al. het geen kinders by enige skool.
hoe kwalifiseer jy vir A ,B, C, en D
@Djou: Volgens my kinders het ek nog net ‘n halwe breinsel wat nog werk. Dalk is hulle reg. Was vir Beet bedoel.
@ dirk – I hear it is a warmup match/ pre-season clash. Will be PBHS first fixture of the year.
A&B teams only and all at Boys High.
Very tough to have a pre-season fixture against Waterkloof who are already clearly into their season.
@Kbypa: Lekker om te hoor hoe Diamantveld self innoverend vooruit boer. Julle gaan die vrugte pluk en ek hoop julle “brand” die invoerders.
@kosie: You talking to yourself now!
@Djou: Yes true the new blood is good on the coaching side. Don’t forget Neels Liebel ex bok conditioning coach. I see him with the team regurarly early in the mornings working the guys. His son is also in Eldo so I suppose it helps, the PSBI gym (Pierre Spies Body Image) also plays its part in the conditioning of the guys. So the team has all the tools to do well.
@kosie: My views on the drop down is well known. YES it was the wrong decision. Lets not ahead of ourselves here, the next couple of games will determine if they can sustain the potential. So, Klerksdorp, Daniel Pienaar, Ben Vorster, DHS and either Monnas or EGJ in the Tuks compo, will determine the true strength of Eldo’s. But for now, we will take it.
@beet: In Johan du Toit Eldoraigne has a great coach. Used to coach the Pumas CC team with Jimmy “Rockhouse” and then the Valke with Rudi Joubert – up to last year. He used to be Eldoraigne’s coach years ago when they counted among the nation’s top rugby schools. Also has good people skills and is a very good strategist in determining game plans. So, he makes a big difference. He and a few other changes will see Eldoraigne climbing the ladder again.
And might I add, I just loved the Kearsney result. Not so much the Grey result.
@Rugbyman: The biggest game of the season to date.
@Woltrui: Jansen is baie goed die jaar… maar moenie monnas vergeet nie…. ek verstaan hulle game teen centurion is vroeg gestop…. as ek dit nie mis het nie speel Jansen en Monnas die komende naweek! Dit behoort ‘n “finger licking good” game te wees!
Lichtenburg 27 Jeugland 14
@kosie: @Woltrui: This good result against HTS makes one wonder about Eldoraigne’s decision to drop down to the Bulls Macro Schools B section for the league and Beeld
@Woltrui: Ek dink nie iemand het die Eldo wen sien kom nie. Beslis nie ek nie. Moet se die Eldo vorries het die grondslag vir die oorwinning gele. Hulle het HTS net geen ruimte gegee nie. Die loskop was n yster op die dag. Goed geskram en sterk met bal in hand. Die Eldo scrummie het ook goed gespeel.
Vir HTS het no7 goed gespeel. Hulle agterlyn het geen ruimte gehad om te beweeg nie omdat hulle niks gegun is nie. Maar, volgende week is ‘n nuwe game. Hoop net hulle voete bly op die grond.
Een telling wat uitspring is die reuse wen van Jansies. n “Scary” telling op die vlak. Jansie blyk BAIE sterk te wees die jaar. Eldo wen oor HTS het ek definitief nie sien kom. Nellies en Klerksdorp se groot oorwinnings ook ietwat van n verassing. Met Garsies en Eldo ook op hul stukke gaan die Tuks lekker interesant wees in 2015. Jansies moet die gunstelinge wees om as kampioene gekroon te word?
What a start! Anyone know what QC score was against Port Rex? Will also take a QC jersey.
My first rule of school rugby spectators, reinforced on Saturday:
The volume of the individual is in direct inverse proportion to his rule and general rugby knowledge.
@Rugbyman: Yip, the worst was him being sarcastic with their loosehead for missing a tackle, no praise for his great scrumming effort.
@GreenBlooded: Kevin injured his knee in the last moments for the PNNS final vs Westville. Probably will miss the entire 2015 season.
@Galaza:
Not really sure what your point is. In your earlier post you wrote: “should we be allowing so much aggression in what should be, a gentleman’s game”. To me there is no such thing as too much aggression as long as it is within the laws of the game. Controlled aggression is a major part of the game and teaches the boys many ‘off-the-field’ lessons in terms of self-control. Cannot agree with you on this.
@Pedantic:
Glenwood spectators didn’t have much to banter with!!
@GreenBlooded:Normal infringements, not rolling way, holding on etc.
I didn’t see any off the ball stuff and was quite impressed with the respect the boys showed eachother, there was more banter among the spectators
@Rhino_67: agree with your comments re the locks they were a bit loose for a game like this…. must say they did their fair share in cross defence (once comming up with a try saving tackle over the tryline) and putting pressure on 10/12…. ville failed to dominate the rucks and mauls which allowed the Hilton 8 to run onto our 10 and create going forward ball…. feel that if ville dominated these areas it would have created more more opportunity out wide. A ugly win but a win against a very underrated Hilton side that can be proud of their performance. They will give any 1st team a run at home
@GreenBlooded: Yes agreed the game has become a lot tougher but lets remember this is after all school rugger and it should remain that way. Leave the professional stuff for later when strenght meets strenght. We want to see evenly contested games and this rough stuff mars the beauty of school rugby.
@Grasshopper:
Can’t say I saw anything either – and they had a former test referee on the park. Okes must realise – rugby is a tough old game. 30 testosterone charged 17/18/19 year olds going at each other hammer and tong is bound to have a little ‘argie-bargie’ at times. But I guess if you are actively looking for things to report on you wil no doubt find them.
@Grasshopper:
Good question – where was Smit? Can’t say I noticed him on for the 2nds either? I must assume injured.
@Galaza: I didn’t see anything but maybe he was frustrated too, doing all the playing. Not condoning it, but these are kids who sometimes boil over
@Pedantic: hmmm, Westville to name one. The tall Glenwood lock is obviously new, he has the physical attributes but not sure if he a great player, more just a good player. Although I have only watched him once. The other two I didn’t recognize was the other lock and hooker, again nothing spectacular. What happened to Smit from Westville, was he playing 2nds? I think only Dixon & Palvie look like Craven week hopefuls in the forwards…
@Grasshopper: Palvie is a tough fellow but his off the ball antics need attentio
@akw: I didnt pick that up… He was on the opposite side of the field… sad though if he belittled them… they gave it their all
@Grasshopper: Doubt there will be much bigger opposition in the tight 5 – that GW tight 5 has been hand picked, never seen most of them before. They were good in 1st phase and nowhere else.
@Pedantic: yep, I think there will be quite a bit of change in the squads before Kearsney fest. I also liked the Kearsney 2nd team left wing. Agreed on the hooker, better overall. However, I shudder to think what will happen to the Kearsney tight 5 against bigger opposition, the scrums might need to be uncontested. Maybe put Dixon at lock for more bulk in a few games. Yep, Palvie is an animal, surely a future as a professional if looked after properly. I hope Glenwood are looking out for his best interests…
@Rugbyman: The physio of MV is an interesting fellow – shouting instructing and berating and belittling the poor players behind the try line. I have never seen that at any rugby level.
@tang. Waterkloof vs PBHS on 21march at PBHS.
@Grasshopper: Well spotted, the KC 2nd team scrummie was dropped from 1sts due to some sort of transgression during the week. He is a livewire and will most certainly have a part to play in future 1st XV matches. I would also be tempted to try that 2nd XV 10 and run Tedder in his natural position of centre.
I also feel you are not giving the young KC locks credit where it’s due, they both stepped up physically and in the lineouts, not to mention the hooker who totally outplayed his bigger GW counterpart in all facets of play.
What Palvie has, one can’t simply replicate, regardless of how big and athletic you are – he has such a good attitude on and off the field – to think he will be playing SBR next year again is a scary thought, what a player!
@star:Iit’s still early in the season Star and this was always going to be a tough one. Nerves always play a huge role in the first game and this was clearly the case. One of Westvilles strengths this year should be their tight 5, but yesterday I felt they never gave the go forward that we had come to expect from the Port Natal Night series. Both locks were very loose and this could be a result of them playing the game in positions they not quite use to. 6&7 hit a lot of rucks and maybe this force them to neglect fulfilling their traditional roles. I must say that Prinsloo had a few bullocking runs, which must have been pleasing for the coaching team. With no real go forward ball to talk about, the game lacked structure and the back line with its dangerous back three never had much opportunity to shine. I am not sure of 10 & 12 at the moment but maybe all will be revealed against Northwood in a week. Very surprised with the Kearsney result but I am sure I am not alone on this one.
@OudUppie: Dankie, die vreugde en trots in Kimberley is groot! Daar gebeur goeie goed by Diamantveld, positiewe goed, ook nie net rugby nie. Jean Stemmet en sy afrigtingspan se geesdrif en toewyding is ongelooflik. En sonder massa-invoere van spelers soos by ‘n ander skool in die omgewing…
Kosie en Rugbyman…Geluk met julle spanne se oorwinning die naweek! Sien Grey het so biki gegly die naweek…maar soos die manne sê ‘n Grey man gly dalk, maar val nooit nie!
Just to add some of the Glenwood parents did aggravate things by shouting ‘Go back to Selborne Bossr’ and a few other insults. Encourage the boys not put them down. Poor Palvie was getting an ear full from a parent.
@Galaza: Agreed, but I think Kearsney are a bit like Scotland, plenty of passion but no real super stars bar Tristan Dixon, if they lose him they will be in trouble. Their pack got hammered in the scrums, pity schoolboy scrums are not a huge factor due to the pushing laws. The Glenwood lineout was OK, won most of their ball but when they did it was very slow ball. The front jumper and hooker need to practice quick ball off the top. Also, the Glenwood 2nd team scrummie was far better than the 1st team one who had to wind-up to get the ball out. I was very impressed with the Kearsney 2nd team half backs, they should go up in my opinion. The Glenwood tight 5 certainly need to get some more mongrel, watch what Palvie does and replicate. Palvie, even injured was far better than any other Glenwood forward. I do also think Xaba is battling for form, just seems to be lacking his last years pace and power. I was also disappointed with a Glenwood teacher shouting at people on the stands, ‘experts are you’, why don’t you come and coach schoolboy rugby. Spectators have the right to be disappointed.
@Rugbyman: Besluite is geneem en 2015 moet daarby inval. Dink tog met nuwe afrigtingsbloed en ‘n kannie dood O/17 groep, kan hierdie groep goed doen. Hulle is dalk nie fisies so groot nie maar hulle harte is buitengewoon groot.
Dis nog ‘n lang seisoen en een swaeltjie maak nie ‘n somer nie. Hoop net hulle voete bly op die grond. Sterkte vir julle seison verder.
@kosie: Baie dankie! Baie geluk met julle wen ook! Dis ‘n grote! Ek wonder of eldos nou sal heroorweeg of hulle in die b-bond makroskole hoort? Ek dink julle hoort in die a-bond… Laasjaar was nie ‘n goeie jaar vir julle rugby nie, maar dit lyk of julle terug is met ‘n bang! Dis goeie nuus vir die krag van skole rugby in pretoria! Julle het n baie talentvolle senior groep en ek vermoed die afrigting onder mnr du Toit se leiding maak n groot verskil!
Well played Kearsney proves what passion and determination can produce.
Imports might make a team and sell a school but pasion overcomes most.
Something that irks me though is the amount of off the ball, playing the man/handbag stufff we see in school boy rugby. In my day any form of violence was met with a 6 on Monday.The question is,should we be allowing so much aggression in what should be, a gentleman’s game. I was happy to notice the one coach warn a player to watch out when he was involved in an altercation.
@Rugbyman: Geluk met die mooi oorwinning gister. Eldo se wen gister mag dalk net die geloof in hulself terug bring. Moenie HTS afskryf nie. Hulle ritme was gister net ontwrig deur ‘n pak vorries wat nie wou gaan le nie.
Volgende naweek is dit Klerksdorp daar. Gaan moeilik wees.
@akw: Marais Viljoen has made a big step-up with their rugby from last year! Chatting to one of their guys after the game it was clear that they are making an effort to turn around the rugby at the school!
This is great news! They are also playing in the macro schools Beeld trophy this year, after not competing in the competition for a number of years!
The 1st team game was quite physical and really enjoyable to watch… Kempies vs Garsies next week should be a thriller!
@OudUppie: Ek het maar op FB gesien hoe Diamantveld aan die einde, een drie na die ander gedruk het. Ek het gedink dat GCB n paar rooi en geelkaarte gekry het. Ek moes aan IETS dink. Dit is gewoonlik hulle wie oor dekades heen, hulle opponente met hulle spel in die laaste 10-15 minute oordonder het.
Any results from Border Day?
Warm maar lekker dag in Kimberley gewees!
Geluk aan Diamantveld, julle gaan beslis ‘n span wees om mee rekening te hou in 2015. Puik afrigting, puik uitvoering. Bewys van wat goeie bal, via goeie skrumskakel na goeie losskakel kan doen.
Sterkte aan Grey, hardewerk wat voorlê. Julle onder 16’s ook nie op standaard nie. Gaan julle ook in ‘n “swak” fase in?
Netbal was net so goed!
Dankie Kimberley!
@Roger: yep, a very bad day at the office….
@Grasshopper: that basically sums it up – similar to Man City losing to Burnley
@Kbypa: Eerstens baie geluk aan Diamandveld! Baie goeie wedstrydplan wat uitstekend uitgevoer was. Stem met jou saam dat Grey met tye baie goed gespeel het, maar Diamandveld se voorspelers en loskakel het 2de helfte beheer gevat en Grey het nie antwoorde gehad nie.
Bog, daar was tekens van briljantheid, maar hardewerk om verdediging reg te kry. Voorlangs het dinge ook maar by tye gelol. Sal hulle egter nie afskryf nie.
One positive, the future looks bright at the Green Machine with Under14,15 & 16a’s winning well. Now let’s stick behind these boys and no more imports…
James Tedder landed two amazing kicks, far out and from the left. Whilst Bossr missed 2 crucial kicks. Bossr reminds me of Jonas just needs more game time with his new team mates. Again yesterday showed a team of boys who know each other is always better than a barbarian teamof great individuals. Hilton must be kicking themselves, they might have had a chance of a win this year….
Humble pie-You did prove me wrong and I am over the moon.
Having been on the receiving end last year, this goes a long way to dull the pain. Well done to all concerned and the result will give the boys in Maroon a lot of self belief. Keep your feet on the ground and build from this. It is a long season and you have the KERF to look forward to.
To Glenwood , form is temporary but class is permanent . I see a lot of the comments say that the Glenwood team were poor on the day- that is what in-your-face pressure will do and resolute defence. It happens to the best of teams. Well done again KC.
Just one comment regarding Hilton’s refusal to play Glenwood-swings and roundabouts . I was at the Westville/Hilton game and am sure the Hilton side of 2015 would hold its own against Glenwood this year.
@Kbypa: Nou maar dan is die regte ding om te doen, om vir Diamantveld geluk te wens met n groot terugvegpoging. Geluk.
The way the Kearsney boys celebrated showed how much it meant to them after last years humiliation. Good character showed by Kearsney, well done. Glenwood need to pick themselves up and remember that as the low of the season never to be like that again. Same for the 2nds just lacked speed & urgency
@umbiloburger:
No doubt they will – in fact one of the Kearsney parents remarked that it was good to get Glenwood first up cos they certainly won’t be playing like that in 2 weeks time. Just a very bad first day back at work – and credit to Kearsney for their immense display which forced many of the frustrating errors.
@BOG: Ek dink nie Grey het noodwendig rede tot kommer nie. Hulle het puik gespeel. Diamantveld was hoogs begeesterd. ‘n Groter wil om te wen, teen ‘n span wat dalk ‘n wen te gou as vanselfsprekend aanvaar het. Die eerste 15 minute het dit gelyk asof Grey gaan weghol. Toe Diamantveld egter op dreef kom, het Grey hul hande vol gehad (en is miskien toe bietjie onkant betrap). Diamantveld het waarskynlik hul beste span in jare, met ‘n uitmuntende afrigtingspan wat die span trappie vir trappie laat klim. Hou hulle maar dop.
@beet: Some sanity prevailed, at least with Nelspruit. What a shocking weekend. Great for Kearsney and a couple of others.
@beet: thanks beet
@pietretief: @Lindenpa: Sorry I switched the teams around without switching the results. Nellies were the away team as per comment no.1
@Djou: Yes, Linden U/15’s beat Menlopark 25 – 19 in a practice match.
I am sure the Vereeniging Gim vs Nelspruit score above should be the other way round?
@kosie: ek dink beet het die Nelspruit telling verkeerd om, ek hoop so
@Hanswors: Vereeniging Gim beating Nelspruit. Wow what a weekend. Only thing to learn from this weekend is that anybody can beat anyboby on a given day.
Very frustrating today, just too many knock-ons, kicking possession away, penalties, free kicks, running side ways, lack of passion….just a wet blanket display. The Glenwood forwards should have mauled the really small Kearsney pack. Dixon from Kearsney was the only player who could match the Glenwood forwards. Seems there are too many imports. The 2m lock has potential but needs to get more mal/aggressive. The backs had a mare! Just a day to forget and move on….the Kearsney scrum was in turbo reverse, if only schoolboy packs could scrum more than 2m…
@BOG: dalk was dit n goeie wake up call so vroeg in die seisoen, gaan n interessante jaar wees, paar spanne wat vroeg hand op steek.
@umbiloburger: yeah, bring the boys together and say lets hit back, wrile the guys up, shout….something! They were like zombies out there today….
@Grasshopper: Very good point on the leadership….Xaba should be able to take control but he needs the backing of the other seniors. I agree with you on Bossr. They are a good side and I am sure that MV and RD will get them back on track.
Verrassings en Surprizes GCB speel gelyk met Diamantveld. Gaan dit n laaaang seisoen wees of nie?
Well done Kearsney, especially after last years result. Great result.
What disappointed me the most today about Glenwood was the complete lack of leadership, the boys were not talking to each other, revving each other up. After Kearsney scored they went back to the halfway quiet. Xaba needs to lead more vocally or try another captain. Only good from today was Palvie, what an animal both on attack and defence. Bossr is good but needs more time to build a relationship with the centers. The scrummie had a bad day, pass is far too slow. I think it was just a very bad day out, well played Kearsney!
Kan hierdie die seisoen van verrassings wees, EGJ no1????
@beet: u15A was 39-10 to GW.@GreenBlooded: Trying to play fast ball off slow ball doesn’t help either. Just a bad day at the office for the guys. But Kearsney were full credit for their performance. Their defense was massive. The green machine is eina and I’m sure that they will bounce back.
Well done to Eldoraing for beating HTS Middelburg!!
Waterkloof 48 Sentraal Bfn 5
@chopper: An unconvincing 11 6 victory for Westville. The current grade 12s at U16 level could not quite work out who was who in the zoo. It seems the trend will continue which will mean a roller coaster season of note.
@chopper: Westville won 11 – 6. Could easily have been a banana skin for Westville today. Hilton were very unlucky.
@kcob: Congrats to Kearsney on their win over Glenwood! Any scores from Hilton vs Westville game?
Diamantveld 34 Grey College 34 (yes, reallly…). Massive comeback by Diamantveld after trailing 22-0 after 15 minutes. Halftime score 22-7. Grey was ahead 34-13 at halfway through the second half.
Hey Glenwood huge respects! It happens. Onwards and upwards. Memories forever!
Kempies win against Erries 35 – 12. Clearly first game. Rusty and a lot of work ahead. A lot of pleasing glimpses as well.ï
@BiasedDHSDad: 13-11
What was Kearsney glenwood score?
@kcob:
Well done mate. Great performance by Kearsney and a captain’s innings by Tristan Dixon. I though KC deserved a far bigger win.
Glenwood. Eeeiisshhhh. Poor handling, terrible discipline (how many times must a team get short-armed at a lineout for numbers before someone starts counting???
) and the worst decision making I’ve seen by a team since the Sharks last weekend… :mrgreen:. Too much good ball kicked aimlessly away and the wrong choices made by the half-backs 9 times out of 10 (ehhhhhh :mrgreen:). The positive for GW is that things can only get better from this!!
Good 49-5 win for DHS over Port Natal. Returning injured players and cricketers made a huge difference.
Dit klink so. Weet nie op watter dag nie.
@dirk Are Waterkloof playing a warm up fixture (A&B teams) against PBHS next weekend?
Kearsney the banana peel again for Glenwood. Well done Kearsney. How hot was it today – geez!!!
@Umtata: Others would say its a great weekend. Turn up for the books however.
PMB college, Glenwood and HTS Middelburg lose. tough weekend
Pity Marlow lost against the Griqua /19 squad.
waterkloof48 sentraal5
2de waterkloof22 sentraal15
@Djou: The /14’s did not play well, the /15’s played well with strong ball carriers in the pack and the 15 is very special.
The /16’s lost against themselves with a myriad of knocks, drops and poor lineout work in the red zone. MV has a good 10 and a very good 8.
The 1st team played well, they were under pressure in the scrums but MV decided to kick the ball often and poorly which was a costly exersize. Garsies forwards and speedy backs ran the ball back with skill and pace and scored some beautiful tries. When MV kept it tight they were much more effective, and they scored their try by pounding the fringes of the rucks.
Hentie Cilliers – 27 College-26 !!!! Goodness me, a shock result in itself!
@Lindenpa: Is it true that Linden u.15 beat Menlopark?
@Kosie: Wow! See, no reason for Eldo to move down! Decision makers underestimate the boys!
@akw: Seems like MV gave Garsies a run for their money at some under age group level matches.

Puk Vaal series : Linden vs Dr Malan tomorrow (at Linden).
@ROOIBUL: Eerstes speel 12H00
Who know what the time is for Waterkloof and Sentraal 1XV game at Waterkloof on Saturday.
Any scores available between the games played:
Noordheuwel vs Jeppe
Parktown vs Helpmekaar?
Beet: the Grey vs Muir game is basically a warm up match and its basically the Muir 1st team vs a Grey 1st and 2nd team combined mainly the younger players.
Were the Border schools day fixture,s
If I am not mistaken, Sentraal beat Waterkloof last year?
I am especially interested to follow the performance of Pietersburg with the view of them playing against Paarl Gimnasium at Markotter on the 28th of March in Paul Roos’ 150 anniversary.
The performance of Diamantveld against Grey College would also entice some attention. They, diamantveld, plays against Paarl Boys’ High on the 28th.
Some other exciting games that comes to mind must be; Kearsney vs Glenwood, Voortrekker (Beth) vs Maritzburg, Eldoraigne vs HTS Middelburg, Klerksdorp vs Rustenburg and Marlow vs Kry nog (alias Kosie) Noord Kaap.
Some local gen for those that are interested, Affies 3rd are playing Ben Viljoen 1st on Wednesday, 11 March at Pretoria A rugbyveld, and the 4th team are against Sutherland 1st on Saturday, 14 March at Sutherland. Other looming teams are also in action during the two days.
@DC ARMY: Oh is it?!?! Got the wrong info then, thanks.
@Playa: According to the Dale website Dale is playing Maclear Academy in a warm -up @ 11h00.
Dale play De Vos Malan on Saturday…though classified as a warm-up game
Hi Beet! Nelspruit plays away against Vereniging Gim
