Boland Landbou’s tough 2017 fixture list is out

1 November, 2016 beet 15

Apart for the always testing West Province Premier League schedule that includes eagerly anticipated inter-schools against Winelands slash national powerhouses HJS Paarl Boy’s High, Paarl Gymnasium and Paul Roos, the farmers from Boland Landbou will also be out to prove themselves against some of the best schools that Gauteng has to offer – they don’t come much bigger or stronger than EG Jansen, Garsfontein or Monument. If that’s not enough, lets not play down the prospect of taking on the Oakdale Bulls in Riversdale and the resistance of some decent opposition from the Eastern Cape either. Forgetting anyone important? How about Grey College as an opponent somewhere in the middle of all that other top class opposition.…

Braam van Straaten headlines KZN school coaching changes ahead of 2017

20 September, 2016 beet 16

Former Springbok flyhalf Braam van Straaten has been appointed as the new St Charles College (Pietermaritzburg) fulltime Rugby Specialist with immediate effect. The positive vibes already coming out of St Charles, who’s rugby is set for another spike over the few year, speaks volumes about van Straaten’s potential to do an outstanding job as he’s made the great impression in next to no time at all. The 44-year-old former Wonderboom High School student is just one of many personal changes set to reshape the fairly small KZN Tier-1 rugby scene, which has a bit of a reputation for it’s high turnover of 1st XV rugby officials.…

KZN to deliberate over yet another Craven Week expectations failure

25 August, 2016 beet 112

Officials from KZN will meet today to discuss the high school Youth Weeks. If this was a meeting held in the Western Province it would be a celebratory occasion, fit for many high-fives, pats on backs and chest beating by various goal achieving officials. However it being KZN who are close to the opposite side of the success rate spectrum, the meeting can’t possibly revolve around many compliments particularly when it focuses its attention on Craven Week, unless of course window-dressing becomes the order of the day.…

SACS bounce back against Bosch to lead in the Southern Suburbs

SACS are close to claiming back-to-back Southern Suburbs No.1 positions after disposing of nearest rivals Rondebosch but the no easy Cape Town derbies label in ringing true in 2016, so Wynberg remains a threat that could still unsettle them on the last weekend of the season

No triple crown for SACS but Southern Suburbs “title” still in sight

17 August, 2016 beet 0

The race to end the 2016 season as Southern Suburbs champions still looks set to go down to the wire thanks to an outstanding and somewhat surprising 43-28 home win by Bishops against SACS. The defeat means that SACS, Cape Town’s no.1 rugby school from 2015 won’t be able to repeat their Triple Crown achievement of a season ago but they are still the masters of their own destiny in spite of last Saturday’s out of sorts performance on the Piley Rees. …
