Monnas coach is off the Tjaarts good

5 February, 2023 beet Noordvaal 7

Did you know that Hoërskool Monument (Krugersdorp) head coach Tjaart van der Walt, one of the best coaches in the country, is also right up there as one of the most successful coaches in the entire history of the prestigious Noordvaal Cup.

The Garsfontein old boy has claimed his fifth title in 2022, when Monument defeated Garsfontein 30-28, in the epic Cup Final. The win was van der Walt’s third as Monnas Witbulle head coach. Before that he had won two for the Garsfontein Bere of Pretoria.

Heading into the 2023 season Monument (10 titles) and Garsfontein (2 titles) are the favourites to make the final again, while the likes of Menlopark (maiden winners in 2019) and Helpmekaar (winners in 1938 and 1962) are tipped to offer the most resistance.

    @OudAffie: Thank you. This is very interesting.

    Just to understand, since the coaching years of Carel Kriek and Sakkie vd Walt overlap, I assume one of the two would have the head coach while the other was assistant?

    @ Lamineer: Ek dink nie AHS sal gou/indien ooit weer in die beker speel nie. Dink ook nie dit pla die skool meer nie. Om jou vraag te antwoord, ek dink Affies sou defnitief die beker gewen het, maar dit is alles spekulatief en sal onmoontlik nooit beantwoord kan word nie.

    @OudAffie: Gaan Affies wag tot Monnas ook 18 bekers het voor hulle weer gaan saam speel? Ek sien Affies was op 18 toe Monnas op 5 was. Nou is Monnas al op 10. Sal interessant wees om te weet of Affies enigsins nog ‘n jaar sou gewen indien hulle nie onttrek het na 2006 nie.

    Affie fact:

    Carel Kriek (1994-2004) is die mees suksesvolste afrigter in die kompetisie: 9 wenne en 1 gelykop.
    Sakkie Van Der Walt(1995-2004) sit op 8 en 1 gelykop as afrigter.

    Tjaart defnitief een van die bestes en hy hou net aan.

    I know this is totally irrelevant but I’ll add some colour to Pretoria Boys High victory in 1922.
    • 1922 – Boys High win the inaggural Administrators cup. They beat Bethal 24-3 in the final.
    • 1922 – Boys High u16 a team win every fixture and don’t concede a single point. The average winning margin of 26-0 could still be a school record.

    Some comments about the PBHS side of 1922:
    What they lacked in weight and brilliance they made up for in zest. It is to the speed of the forwards we are mainly indebted for our position in the Inter-High School Competition.
    We would congratulate the Transvaal Union and’ specially those organisers immediately responsible for the success of the Inter-High School Rugby Competition. It is the most comprehensive of all school sporting events. Though not so- spectacular as the athletic sports day, it includes a greater number of schools. There is a certain poetic justice that the school that has borne the burden and heat of the day, having carried on for over 17 years, for long single handed, should be the first to carry off the very handsome cup presented bv His Honour the Administrator.

    PRETORIA HIGH v. BETHAL HIGH.
    This was the final for the cup, Pretoria having- defeated Heidelberg and Lichtenburg going down to Bethal in the semi-finals.
    Bethal attacked first, but Lademan cleared to the centre. Again, Bethal pressed, but Gold sent them back, and then the boys from the Capital became aggressive. Prinsloo. in endeavoring to save, miskicked, and Zwarenstein dashed up and scored an easy try, which Schlosburg failed to convert (3—o). From the kick off Schlosburg broke nicely. Ueckerman gathered neatly, but cleared badly, and Brink, taking the ball in his stride, crossed far out.
    Despite the angle, Gold improved (8—o). Pretoria kept up the pressure and Brink added another try on the left, but this time Gold failed with the kick ((11—o). A penalty to Bethal in an easy position was taken by Mynhardt, who, however, just failed to land a goal. Prinsloo was next away on the left, but Zwarenstein came across nicely and effected a grand tackle. The Pretoria forwards were prominent in the loose, and then another mistake by Bethal let Smith in to score at the posts and, as Gold again converted, the Pretorians led at the interval by 16 points to nil.
    Bethal opened up better after the interval, and Pretoria were immediately defending their line. They, however, worked their way back, and then, turning defense into attack, Eksteen crossed in the right-hand corner, but the wing lost the ball and the 25 kick brought about temporary relief. The Pretorians were not to be denied, and, from a melee in front of the opposing goal, one of the forwards scored, for Gold to do the needful (21—o).
    Soon after a loose rush by the Bethal forwards gave Prinsloo an opportunity of showing his speed. The wing gathered well and dashed over for a try, which Mynhardt failed by inches to convert (21-—3). An excellent bit of combined

    work in which Brink and Schlosberg were prominent almost earned a score, and then, from a penalty which went wide, Pedlar followed up and added another unconverted try (24—3). Final score:—
    Pretoria: 3 goals, 3 tries, 24 points. Bethal: 1 try, 3 points.
    Teams:—
    Pretoria: Gold, Brink, Zwarenstein, Lademan Eksteen (captain), Botha, Schlosburg, Kuit, De la Bat, Steynberg, Moller, Pedlar, Smith, Brown, Harrington.
    Bethal: Ueckerman, Prinsloo, De Vos, Joubert, Geyer, Rademeyer, Mynhardt, Van der Berg; (captain’) Van Schoor, Gilfillan, Van der Walt, Conradie, Joubert, van Wyk.
    Referee: Mr. J. Ruck.
    At the conclusion of the game the Administrator presented the cup to the winners, and congratulated both teams on their excellent exhibition.
