Helpmekaar definitely cannot be feeling the love from their fellow Golden Lions “Large Schools” league rivals at the moment.
Representatives from the “Large Schools” allegedly approached the Golden Lions with a request to have Helpies excluded from the competition. The Golden Lions allegedly could not grant this request but also could not prevent these schools from opting not to play against Helpies.
The end result is that these eight other “Large Schools” will now play against each other to determine the Golden Lions “Large Schools” winner. This winner will progress directly to the quarterfinals of the Beeldtrofee. None of the schools have fixtures lined up against Helpies.
Helpies will however still be part of the Beeldtrofee for “Large Schools” this season. They will be the automatic second seeds from their region and will have to play a knockout Beeldtrofee qualifier on 01 August.
As a result of not being part of the league matches, Helpmekaar has had opportunity to arrange fixtures against the likes of Waterkloof, Jeppe, Kynoch Noord-Kaap and Garsfontein during the school second term of 2015.

Ek dink die besluit deur die Leeus is baie onvanpas, omdat dit die hele Beeld trofee uitspeel module beinvloed. Skielik speel sterker spanne nou in Kwart eindstryd teen mekaar eerder as in die Half-eind!! Volgens die uitspeel model sal Leeus naaswenner nou teen die Valke naaswenner speel, en mens kan sommer raai wie gaan wen. Dan wag die Limpopo Blou Bulle wenner in kwart finaal. Stem saam met @ Brother Bear, die wat so gal braak moet eerder hule huis in orde kry. As jy nie sterk genoeg is nie, dan is dit so, en jy is naaswenner. Ek sal nie trots wees om wenner te wees as ek weet ek verdien dit nie. En as jule dink ek is van Leeus, wel laat ek reghelp, ek is by Limpopo en ons het al van o/14 in 2012 tot 0/16 in verlede jaar se Beeld finaal nog altyd harde wedstryde teen Helpmekaar gehad. En ons het oor die jare respek vir mekaar gekry, want albei werk hard.
Miskien moet manne met die groot bekke oor Helpmekaar eers self begin presteer in Beeld groot skole. Helpmekaar word eintlik as scapegoat vir hulle eie onvermoe gebruik. Bly om te sien Linden se o/15 span is besig om groot naam te maak. Wel done Pietie Meyer.
Helpies se selektiewe benadering tot wie hul, wanneer speel, maak vyande. Hul sal so gou as moontlik ‘n besluit moet maak om of uit die Grootskole liag te onttrek, en net friendlies speel; of op te skuif Makro liga toe. Hulle is goed genoeg om Makro te speel, en kan daaraan dink om soos Ermelo en KHS te begin met die Tuks reeks
Well some good performances this past week against Parktown and St johns may see helpies on the up again?
Helpmekaar het reuse tree gegee vorentoe die afgelope dekade. En dit was nie net op die rugby veld nie. As jy met ou Helpies praat dan hoor jy van die opgewondenheid weer oor hul ou skool. Duidelik het hul hoof baie hiermee te doen en kan jy die resultate oral sien.
Wel gedaan Helpmekaar. Sommer baie trots om ook Afrikaans te wees….
Sien jul aanstaande Saterdag, Affies kom bietjie kuier!
Helpmekaar het ‘n klompie wedstryde bo hul vuurmaakplek by name Waterkloof, Jeppe, Noord Kaap, Grey HS en selfs Garsfontein as jy my vra. Volgende naweek is dit teen Affies.
Dit kom na ‘n loesing van 23-10 teen Die Anker verlede naweek.
Sterkte aan die manne. Hulle het welliswaar die grootste atletiekbyeenkoms in die Noordvaal gewen, met Monument tweede en Affies derde.
@akw: I think it could just be a follow on from the decision made last year – see here:

Hi Beet, why would this happen?
Sems like schools will sort things out among themselves.
Guess survival of the weakest is at play here, and that the fittest should move up to the macro schools.
Helpies in any case arranged matches against the macro schools as friendlies.
