EG Jansen claimed the biggest cup prize in the Noordvaal by beating their Valke counterparts and 2012 champions Kempton Park 38-17 in the BeeldTrofee Macro Schools finals. Transvalia added to the Valke success by winning the Large Schools section. Ben Vorster of Polokwe and Koster High of North West Province won their respective under-18 sections. In the large and very diversified cup competition, it was Monnas of Krugersdorp who turned out to be Gauteng’s best team, winning the under-16 and under-15 Macro finals.

@Woltrui: Ja, hulle het die groot skole 2 keer gewen, in 2008 en 2010, albei kere teen Helpmekaar. Die finaal teen Merensky het destyds gelykop geëindig, maar dit was ook mediumskole, toe daar nog net 3 kategorieë, groot, medium en klein was.
Op die stadium dink ek makroskole is te hoog vir hulle, hoewel hulle hulleself al teen makroskole getoets het, met gemengde welslae. Swaar geleef teen Menlo hierdie jaar, terwyl hulle verlede jaar gewen het.
Hulle grootste probleem tov makroskole is by die juniorspanne na my mening, waar daar baie “ontwikkelingswerk” gedoen word – hier kom outjies aan wat nog nooit aan ‘n rugbybal gevat het nie, en dit neem tyd om hulle in strukture te integreer.
Kontak my by hb26 at mweb.co.za as jy die storie wil weet van hierdie jaar se mediumskole debakel.
@tzavosky:Ek “rate” Ben Vorster en volg hul uitslae vir ‘n paar seisoene. Altyd gedag hulle het die potensiaal om die makro skole aan te vat. Het hulle nie reeds die groot skole beeld trofee gewen nie? Finaal teen Merensky daar in Tzaneen as ek dit nie verkeerd het.
TOV Ben Viljoen. Die skooltjie van Groblersdal slaan vuis ver bokant hulle gewig. Merkwaardig is dat hulle ‘n Protea hokkie speler opgelewer het wat tans reeds by die 50 wedstryde vir die Nasionale span gespeel het in Nicolene Terblanche. Nicolene, n plaas nooi, het die Puma skole hokkie span vir 5 jaar verteenwoordig vanuit Ben Viljoen. Slegs op astro bane gespeel tydens provinsiale toernooie!!
@Woltrui: Dankie vir die uittrap, Wolla, ek stem saam.
Daar is egter ‘n storie agter die storie waaroor Noordvaal Skolerugbyvereniging en Beeld baie stil is, behalwe om in gister se Beelftrofee-bylae van die koerant te sê “Ben Vorster het geen reël oortree nie”.
Ek glo egter daardie “reël” sal in 2014 verander het.
Skitterend Jansies. Geluk Transvalia. Probeer nou die groot bulle aanvat. Ben Vorster. Laat sak julle koppe in skaamte. Vir n skool soos Ben Vorster om so ambisiloos te wees is n hartseer dag. Gaan speel teen julle eie portuur. Ben Voster teen Ben Viljoen. Asseblief!!
