Die verdedigende kampioen van Groep 2 van die SDC Noordvaal Cup, Midstream College, kon seker nie vir ‘n moeiliker eerste wedstryd in die uitspeelrondes van die reeks gevra het nie. Die span van Centurion reis na Thabazimbi waar hy teen die Frikkie Meyer kragte sal meet.

Hoewel Midstream College vanjaar weer oor ‘n gedugte span beskik, sal hy dit veel strawwer ervaar om sy kroon te behou. Verlede jaar was die Blou Bulle bo-aan die kompetisie se prioriteitslys wat beteken het, dat Midstream College al sy wedstryde op sy tuisveld kon speel.

Vanjaar sal die span al sy wedstryde weg van die huis speel. Die Blou Bulle-kampioen het alle teenstand in sy liga voor hom weggevee en die Hoërskool Overkruin met 49-3 in die eindstryd van dié liga afgeransel.

Frikkie Meyer is nou wel nie vanjaar die Limpopo-kampioen nie, maar is steeds ‘n gedugte span. Hy het teen Ellisras met 22-33 in die eindstryd die knie gebuig. Die span van Thabazimbi se flank Driekus du Plessis was een van Limpopo se staatmakers op die Cravenweek in George vroeër vanjaar.

Sy tweestryd met Midstream College se kaptein, Joshua Smit, aan die kant van die skrum sal een van die hoogtepunte van die kragmeting wees. Midstream College het self ‘n Cravenweek-speler in sy geldere in die haastige regtervleuel, Hilton Thomas. Hy is boonop die sy skool se eerste Cravenweek-speler in hul bestaan.

Die Limpopo-kampioen, Ellisras, wag op die Bulle se naaswenners, die Hoërskool Overkruin, in Lephalale. Die tuisspan se slot Hope Seyaga het in die eindstryd teen Frikkie Meyer ‘n driekuns aan drieë behaal.

Dit is nou of nooit vir Helpmekaar-kollege se eerste rugbyspan.

Helpmekaar kom Saterdag voor ‘n kruispad in sy kragmeting om 12:30 op die Ras van Rooyen-veld in Krugersdorp teen Monument te staan. Dit is Helpies se laaste ligawedstryd in vanjaar se SDC Noordvaal Cup se Beker-afdeling.

Die span van Johannesburg bevind homself in die derde posisie op die puntestand met 23 punte. Indien hy egter nie ‘n sege oor die verdedigende kampioen, Monnas, behaal nie – is die kanse skraal dat 23 of selfs 24 ligapunte genoeg sal wees om hul tot die uitspeelrondes te laat deurdring.

Waterkloof wat tans die vierde posisie beklee het nog twee wedstryde oor teen Marais Viljoen en Monument. Hulle het 20 ligapunte tot dusver ingevorder.

Klofies sal indien Helpies vandag daarin kan slaag om Monnas om te dop nie sommer die span van die Goudstad uit die vierde posisie kan lig nie. Monnas beklee tans die vyfde posisie, maar het nog drie wedstryde oor en het reeds 16 ligapunte ingesamel.

Indien Monnas Saterdag teen Helpies gly, sal hy boonop ‘n reuse aanslag in sy laaste ligawedstryd teen die Klofies moet afweer vir ‘n plek in die uitspeelrondes.

Helpies se haker, Ruan Welman, sal so ietwat meer as sy spanmaats vandag gemotiveerd wees. Welman se naam is nie as deel van die Suid-Afrikaanse o.18-span uitgelees wat volgende maand teen Engeland en Frankryk sal kragte meet nie. Welman het verlede week ‘n driekuns aan drieë in sy span se nederlaag van 48-49 teen Garsfontein behaal.

Die onoorwonne Garsfontein sal vandag nie op sy louere kan rus wanneer hy na Krugersdorp reis om vir Noordheuwel die stryd aan te sê nie. Die twee spanne het tot dusver in vanjaar se reeks die mees aanvallende rugby gespeel en daarmee die meeste drieë deur al die spanne in die reeks behaal.

Die wedstryd beloof daarom om vir heelwat opwindende oomblikke te sorg. Dit hang ook natuurlik af van watter JT Kapank, losskakel van Noordheuwel, vandag uit die bed uit opgestaan het. Kapank kan op ‘n Saterdag die gevaarlikste aanvallende losskakel in Suid-Afrika wees, maar sy span is onder geweldige druk die dag as hy nie op sy stukke is nie.

Die Garsie Bere het besluit om sy SA Skole-senter, Dimitre Erasmus, op die plaasvervangersbank vir die wedstryd te kies. Die afrigtingspan glo dat Erasmus die afgelope maand al genoeg rugby gespeel het en dat hy ‘n welverdiende ruskans verdien.

Erasmus is ook verbasend uit die SA o.18-span vir die internastionale reeks volgende maand weggelaat.

Die Bere sal ook sonder hul flank Luan Olivier moet klaarkom wat saam die nasionale o.18-sewesspan in Trinidad en Tobago is vir die Statebond Jeugspele.

Die spanne is:

A new champion will be crowned today during the final day of the annual DStv Schools Challenge hosted by Hoërskool Florida in Roodepoort.

The defending champions, Hoër Meisieskool Oranje of Bloemfontein, was knocked out by Paarl Girls’ High (20-18) in the quarterfinals of the national competition.

Paarl Girls’ High will face Affies in the semi-final, while Paarl Gimnasium and Menlopark will battle it out in the other semi-final.

Catch all the action live on SuperSport Schools (www.supersportschools.com).

The semi-final between Affies and Paarl Girls’ High will take place at 10:40.

Paarl Gimnasium didn’t experience too much troubles in knocking out Potchefstroom Gimnasium by 25-8 in the quarterfinals. Affies on the other hand had to work very hard to narrowly defeat Helpmekaar-kollege by 24-23 in their quarterfinal.

Menlopark booked their place in the last four with a 27-17 victory over Hoërskool Rustenburg.

 

Daar was Saterdag in Suid-Afrikaanse skolerugby ‘n hele paar wendroogtes wat verbreek is, gelykenisse asook ‘n hele paar wedstryde waar albei spanne aanvallende rugby bo verdediging geplaas het.

Boland Landbou kon in die Brugstraat-stadion in die Paarl vir die eerste keer sedert 2009 daarin slaag om vir die Hoër Jongenskool Paarl kaf te draf. Die span van die Agter-Paarl was net 26-22 baas.

Die laaste keer wat Boland Landbou met die Boishaaiers geploeg het, was die verloorspan se kaptein, Frans Malherbe, huidige Springbok-vaskopstut.

Die Boishaaiers moes wel sonder ‘n hele paar staatmakers Saterdag teen die besoekers klaarkom. Sy flank Divan Fuller (SA Skole) en slot Van Heerden Pretorius was onder andere nie beskikbaar weens beserings nie.

Boland Landbou het voorlangs die oorhand gehad met veral sy flank Alru Gous aan die spits. Agterlangs het die losskakel, Retagen van Rooi. ‘n blink vertoning opgedis.

Maritzburg College het vir die eerste keer sedert 2014 daarin geslaag om Affies se Wit Bulle te slag. Die besoekers van Pietermaritzburg was met 50-31 baas, slegs die vierde keer in die geskiedenis dat die Wit Bulle 50 punte afstaan.

Maritzburg College se losskakel, Luc du Toit, kon nie ‘n voet verkeerd sit nie. Hy het ‘n persoonlike bydrae van 30 punte gelewer. Hy het ‘n draai agter die doellyn gemaak, vyf van sy span se drieë verdoel asook met vyf strafdoele geslaag.

Die gelykenisse oftewel wedstryde wat gelykop geëindig het was onder andere die Premier Interschools in George tussen Outeniqua en Paarl Gimnasium (10-elk), die kragmeting tussen Hoërskool Durbanville en SACS (22-elk) en die SDC Noordvaal Cup-wedstryd tussen Noordheuwel en Waterkloof (42-elk).

Paarl Gimnasium se regtervleuel, Freek de Kock, het sy span met ‘n drie in die tweede helfte gehelp om seker te maak dat hul nie met ‘n nederlaag na die Boland terugkeer nie.

Hoërskool Durbanville se ster-senter, James Nero, het sy gehalte ten toon gestel toe hy twee keer gaan druk het teen SACS om sy span tot dié gelykop-uitslag te help.

In die Noordvaal Cup was dit duidelik in twee wedstryde dat nie een van die spanne bes wou gee nie. Waterkloof het goed teruggeveg om ‘n gelykop-uitslag van 42-elk teen Noordheuwel af te dwing.

Klofies se heelagter, Hernus Marais, was uitstaande en is vir sy goeie spel met twee drieë beloon.

Die onoorwonne Garsfontein was amper dié status kwyt toe hy na 70 minute se spel met 49-48 teen Helpmekaar-kollege as oorwinnaars van die veld gestap het. Helpies se haker, Ruan Welman, het sy driekuns aan drieë met speeltyd reeds vertreke voltooi.

Die span se heelagter, Junayden Seffier, wat ‘n goeie dag met die skopskoen beleef het, kon egter nie die Bere se harte breek met die doelskop nie.

Garsies se flank Luan Olivier en losskakel, Nicallen Gabrielsen, asook die buitesenter, Jason Hugo, was uitstaande vir die wenspan.

Monument was op sy tuisveld met 59-12 te sterk vir Marais Viljoen. Die wenspan se skrumskakel, Ceano Everson, het vier keer in die sege gaan druk.

Midstream College is vir die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar as kampioen van die Blou Bulle is Groep 2 gekroon. Die span van Centurion het sonder veel probleme vir Overkruin met 49-3 in die eindstryd kaf gedraf.

Die span sal nou in die Noordvaal-uitspele na Thabazimbi reis om die naaswenner van Limpopo, Frikkie Meyer, die stryd aan te sê. Ellisras het vir Frikkie Meyer met 33-22 in die Limpopo-eindstryd verslaan.

This weekend, SACS will be hosting Paul Roos at the Brewery, for their third clash of the season – a match that will also determine who would be crowned the Nr. 1 ranked team this year, after the previous two clashes ended with a win each.

SACS won the last encounter at Maties, playing a fast and exciting brand of hockey, whilst PRG won the first encounter in the Hibbert Shield final with solid defense.

Both sides provided the core of the provincial sides for Western Province and Boland respectively. WP took home the Gold Medal at the recent IPT, with Boland having to settle for fourth.

It is in the different representative school sides, that SACS really showed their class, with Rogan Stirk, Michael Cowan, Josh Opperman, Liam Haupt, Ozair Pillay and Michael Roydon-Turner included in the SA Schools A-Side, and Dean Carrick representing SA Schools B.

Stirk (Goalkeeper of the Tournament), Cowan (Defender of the Tournament) and Roydon-Turner, also can in for individual accolades. Litha Kraai, who was included in the SA u/16 team, bagged Midfielder, Top Goal Scorer and Player of the Tournament at the u/16 IPTs, will also post a serious challenge to the PRG defense.

The PRG star-duo of SA Schools representatives, Reuben Sendzul and Zeke Hougaard, both had quieter than expected tournaments at IPT’s, will provide the biggest threat to SACS.

PRG will field Jake Downie (SA Schools B), Ryan Williams (SA u/17) and Josh Smith (SA u/17) on defense, to counter the attacking flair of SACS. Barend Geldenhuys (SA u/17) and Christo Swanepoel (SA u/16), complete the PRG national representatives.

The match will be broadcast on SuperSport Schools from 19:00 on Friday.

History will be made during the main match of the 58th edition of the Craven Week hosted at Outeniqua Park in George this Saturday. For the first time since the inaugural tournament back in 1964 an overseas referee will be officiating the main match.

The honour is bestowed to Ben Connor from Wales. He will be assisted by Hanru van Rooyen and Lulutho Matomela from the sidelines. Van Rooyen refereed the main match of last year’s tournament in Cape Town and would without a doubt play an important role in assisting Connor.

Western Province will face the Blue Bulls for the third consecutive time in the main match of the tournament.

Besides Connor another overseas referee Andrew Cole (Ireland) also officiated during the prestigious week. Tappe Henning, head of the URC’s match officials, was also in attendance to assess the referees’ performances.

Connor is the son of former Welsh sevens player, Shaun Connor, who represented the Ospreys is over a 100 matches at flyhalf. Connor sr. is currently part of the Welsh womens’ team coaching staff and also coached Russia’s national team’s backline earlier in his career.
