WP, Border impressive on Day One of Under-13 week
June 30, 2014

Western Province proved far too classy for Mpumalanga, beating the Lowvelders 56-0 in the biggest win of the day, while Border delivered a polished performance, easing past the Blue Bulls 52-10. The Leopards proved far too strong for Border Country Districts and won 37-5, whilst Boland carried too many guns for Griffons, winning 43-12.The Griquas were another team to score at will, beating Zimbabwe 36-12, but the other matches proved to be tightly contested affairs.In an early morning upset, SWD held on to beat Free State 10-8, hosts KZN came up short against the Golden Lions, who won 15-12 and Eastern Province kept out Limpopo Blue Bulls to win 17-12. The Valke also battled hard to overcame a plucky Namibian side by 13-0.

Free State Craven Week 2004 – 2013: team of the decade

5 November, 2013 beet 61

I asked Old Grey blogger “BOG” to help out with arguably the most difficult to select  Craven Week team of the last ten years of them all – the Free State team. With so much quality being churned out by Grey College annually, to compare and then choose one player over another per position is subjective. Here is BOG’s personal choice with a few footnotes on the method he adopted:…

Craven Week 2013: Valke team

16 June, 2013 beet 1

The Valke is one of the smaller regions and they aren’t always able to match the bigger unions at Craven Week. This year may be different though. Noordvaal rugby in general has looked very strong during 2013 and making a huge contribution to this strength by putting out competitive 1st XV’s are the likes of EG Jansen, Kempton Park and Transvalia…
