  • St. Benedict’s push Pretoria Boys’ Hig

    St. Benedict’s push Pretoria Boys’ Hig

    On Saturday 18 May St Benedict’s College hosted Pretoria Boys High School in a full fixture. Springs Boys High School were invited along to help fill up the fixture which saw 27 well matched and highly competitive games taking place.

    The main fixture of the day saw St. Benedict’s College 1st XV take on the highly praised and ranked Pretoria Boys High School 1st XV. This fixture has become highly competitive in the past two seasons with PBHS winning 8-5 in 2011 and 26-19 in 2012. This is a fixture that the Bedfordview boys prize highly each year as PBHS is the only big boys in Gauteng the school is yet to taste victory against.

    For the second week in a row a minute’s silence was witnessed, this time for PBHS lock Gideon van der Bergh whose father tragically passed away in the week.

    The game started at a frantic pace, with the boys from Pretoria hitting their straps early and piling on the pressure. The pressure soon told with their big outside centre crossing the line, only to drop the ball over the line. This let off seemed to be only temporary as soon after the restart PBHS were straight back on attack. This time they made no mistake in dotting down to lead 12-0. The Bennies boys however showed a never-say-die attitude and soon found themselves on attack and placing the Pretoria boys under pressure. A side like Boys High are however not easily flustered and simply absorbed the pressure, before scoring another try to extend their lead to 17-0. Many in the crowd began to think that the Bennies Boys were in for a serious rugby lesson but this simply spurred them on. This resilience soon saw them cross the line to narrow the gap to 5-17.

    However soon after this. the referee deemed a tackle by the St Benedict’s eighth man Nyasha Tarusenga to be dangerous and sent him to the bin for 10 minutes. Playing against 14 men, PBHS lifted their game to score once again and extend their lead to 22-5. Just before the break Tarusenga was reintroduced and had a helping hand in a try to right wing Senkie Mafuma. Matthew Smit converted from the touchline to end the half 22-12 in favour of Pretoria Boys High.

    The second half began just as the first did with PBHS straight onto the attack, and the Bedfordview boys were struggling to deal with the impressive PBHS rolling maul. This saw an enthralling first 20 minutes to the half with some determined Bennies defence holding the Pretoria boys at bay and both side scoring points to have the game evenly balanced 25-19 with 20 minutes left.

    Then the drama began, Boys High put together numerous phases in the St Benedict’s half. A professional foul by TT Tsotesi, St Benedict’s left wing, saw him receive his 10 minutes in the bin. There were no guesses as to what the PBHS were going to do from the resultant penalty. They put it in the corner and watched as their pack mauled well once again to extend the lead to 32-19. It was all hands on deck now for the Bennies boys and they dug deep putting the Boys High side under pressure once again with wave after wave of attack. The pressure soon told and resulted in a professional foul by Boys High deep in there 22m. Quick thinking by Chris Worthington saw him cross the line for St Benedict’s with numerous defenders on his back. Matthew Smit stood up to slot the crucial conversion that would make it a six point game with only ten minutes left on the clock, however his conversion hit the upright to leave the score at 32-24.

    The Boys High pack once again kicked into gear and scored once again from a rolling maul to put the game out of site at 24-39 with only minutes left to play. St Benedict’s went straight back on attack and managed another try through wing Senkie Mafuma to close the game to 31-39 with a minute left to play. Pretoria Boys kicked deep and kept the Bennies Boys deep in their half. This did not stop the boys in white still having a go and with time up they still attempted to run at Boys High defence. This resulted in a chip and chase that went wrong – Boys High simply kicked it out to end the contest at 31-39 in favour of Pretoria Boys High.

  • Secunda bo teen Oosterland

    Op ‘n koue Saterdag was Hoërskool Secuinda net te goed vir Hoërskool Oosterlig van Boksburg. In doie eerstespan wedstryd he Sewcunda 32-8 gewen.

    Die Hoëveld van Mpumalanga is bekend vir sy koue oggende wat reeds in Meimaand jou tande laat bibber en bewe. Afgelope Saterdag oggend was dit egter nog kouer as die gewone gewees met dreigende reënwolke wat in die lug saam gepak het. Die koue weer kon egter glad nie ‘n demper plaas op die gees en atmosfeer wat reeds vroeg oggend langs die velde by HS Secunda ondervind is nie. Dit was weer tyd vir die jaarlikse derby tussen die twee buurskole. HS Oosterland het reeds vroeg bymekaar gekom en ‘n optog gehou na HS Secunda se gronde toe. ‘n Skitterende inisiatief van Secunda se kant af was om gratis koffie beskikbaar te stel aan ouers. Met die koue weer was dit beslis ‘n treffer gewees en ouers was al te dankbaar vir die mooi gebaar.

    Verskeie advertensies is geplaas vir die dag en ten spyte van die koue het Secunda se mense in hordes opgedaag. Pannekoek, worsbroodjies en kerrie en rys het behoorlik soos soetkoek verkoop.

    Dit was die eerste keer in sewe jaar dat die twee skole weer teen mekaar op Secunda se velde te staan gekom het. Laasjaar was daar na ‘n ses-jaar onderbreking by Oosterland gespeel. Rede vir die lang onderbreking was dat die twee skole nie in dieselfde Mpumalanga liga gespeel het nie.

    Om 08.00 het die 2de rugby span en 0/14 A spanne mekaar getakel in die yskoue. HS Oosterland se 2de span vaar goed en klop Secunda met 10-7. By die 0/14 wedstryd is die rekordboeke behoorlik herskryf toe Secunda amok maak en met 110-3 wen. Ook om 08H00 het die 2 skole se 1e dogters hokkie spanne mekaar die stryd aan gesê, Oosterland wen die stryd met 1 – 0. Daarna was dit die beurt van die 0/14 hokkie dogters so wel as die 0/15 rugby seuns. Secunda se dogters speel voortreflike hokkie en wen met 9-0. 0/15 seuns van Secunda tree as oorwinnaars uit die stryd en wen met 39-6. Om 10.00 het die twee skole se 0/16 rugby spanne mekaar die stryd aangesê. Dit was ‘n baie opwindende wedstryd vol aanskoulike hardloop rugby. Die Killers (Secunda span) wen die wedstryd met 65-3. Die 0/15 hokkie dogters van Secunda was net te sterk vir die opposisie en wen met 4-0. Die stryd tussen die twee skole se 0/16 spanne eindig gelykop met twee doele elk.

    Om 11.00 kon mens die spanning aanvoel en die atmosfeer kon met ‘n mes gesny word. Dit was tyd vir die GROOT een, die wedstryd waaroor daar al weke lank bespiegel en gegis is in die dorp. In haar salonne en om braaivleisvure is daar vooraf gepraat, geredeneer en voorspel wie sou wen. Niemand was seker nie maar almal het geweet dit gaan ‘n riller wees.

    Toe die skeidsregter Danie Jacobsz sy fluitjie laat skril vir die afskop was die paviljoen gepak met ‘n see van mense. Aan die een kant die duidelike rooi en blou van Oosterland met die Secunda Turkoois aan die ander kant van die paviljoen. Oosterland se nuwe gelukbringer – Kaptein – het reeds vroeg al alles in sy vermoë gedoen om bietjie gees te kry op die paviljoen met ritmiese hande klap. Die eerste 15 minute van die stryd was soos twee boksers wat mekaar uit toets en sien wat die ander een na die tafel bring. Secunda se agterlyn was baie gevaarlik gewees en veral die nommer 11 vleuel Bongeka Mhlanga het amok gemaak elke keer as hy aan die bal vat. Hy herinner mens aan ‘n jong Breyton Paulse of Gio Aplon. Hy is nie groot gebou nie maar mensig elke keer wat hy aan die bal vat was daar groot konsternasie onder die verdediging. Hy ruk gate in die verdediging oop met sy dartel lopies en spoed!

    Die rustydtelling was 15-3 in Secunda se guns gewees met veral die twee flanke van Secunda Alf Byleveldt en Dylan Erasmus wat soos trojane op die verdediging uit getroon het.

    In die begin van die tweede helfte het Oosterland teruggekom in die wedstryd en hulle eerste drie gaan druk. Die telling was skielik net 15-8 en die wedstryd was weer op ‘n mes punt gebalanseer. Oosterland het verwoed begin aanval want hulle het besef net een verdoelde drie en die wedstryd was gelykop gewees. Secunda het geter die druk baie mooi verwerk en al hoe meer met hulle gevaarlike vinnige agterlyn begin speel. Secunda druk dan ook twee puik verdoelde driee in die tweede helfte en behaal ook 1 strafskop om wel verdiend met 32-8 te wen.

    Dit was ‘n baie suksesvolle dag vir die tuisskool gewees met die dorp se mense wat baie goed die geleenthied ondersteun het. Baie dankie daarvoor. Komende naweek speel Secunda weer tuis teen Piet Retief wat sedert laasjaar ontpop het as ‘n baie sterk rugby skool. Al hulle spanne het laas jaar Beeld trofee gewen vir medium skole. Hulle het toe op geskuif groot skole liga toe, kom ondersteun asb weer ons tuis skool by die geleentheid.

    When one looks back at the last result in this fixture Florida ropmed home to a 60-point win so this was a much better showing from Marais Viljoen.
    Despite being behind 3-0 shortly after kick off Florida hit back with a try with great follow up play from captain Arne’ Bognich after a penalty attempt by Erwin Harris hit the pole and he crashed over for a try to take the score to 7-3.

    The second half started slowly with both teams defending and attacking well. But the second half belonged to Jako Barnard finishing off two tries one of them from his own 22 after great distibution from Ruhann Ferreira. Erwin Harris had a great day with the boot converting all four tries and two penalties only hitting the post once.
    We always look forward to the fixture against Marais Viljoen and they showed guts coming from last years defeat to prove a point. It always produces hard, entertaining rugby played in a great spirit.

    A number of tries were scored in the fixture and both sides were willing to use the ball as Marais Viljoen ran in two tries in their 15 points that they scored on the day.

    Florida have enjoyed a much more successful season this year than their rivals and so they would have hoped for a better performance but a win is a win and they, ultimately, did win by nearly 20 points.

  • Waterkloof beats Garsies in epic battle

    Klofies first rugby team won Garsies on Saturday after Waterkloof experienced three losses in a row. The match could have gone anyway. Waterkloof won Garsies 36 – 34 in a very tight match. The match was played in front of a crowd of about 5000 spectators. Garsfontein had some old scores to settle. Their first team never managed to win a match against Waterkloof yet.

    Waterkloof’s forwards, coached by Burger Lindeque, is formidable pack and they managed to win the game with brilliant defense and break down balls. Waterkloof’s loose head prop and tight head prop Xander and Johan van Wyk was brilliant in the scrums. The two flankers Sean and David Joyce tackled ferociously and played fearlessly.

    Garsfontein drew first blood when big lock Hyron Andrews scored their first try. Klofies flyhalf Tinus de Beer replied with a penalty kick. Waterkloof took the lead with a few minutes left on the clock in the first half when center Peet de Klerk scored a try and Tinus kicked over the conversion.

    Garsfontein kept their cool and in the dying minutes of the first half when Franco Naude capitalized on Klofies bad handling of the ball and scored a try.

    The second half started with Garsfonteins hooker Blokkies de Jongh scoring a try. Wing Dewald Lindeque of Waterkloof answered and also scored a try. Both teams made a lot of handling errors in the second half. But, made up for it in the last 15 minutes of the match. Garsfontein started playing the match with a fast pace and Marquit September scored a try. Garsfontein lost a player in the backline with a yellow card this disrupted Garsfonteins game.

    Nothing seemed to disturb Waterkloof and they slowly but surely took control of the game with Wilbri Gunter and Tinus de Beer scoring tries. Garsfontein did not give up and Hyron Andrews scored another try. In the dying minutes Waterkloof put a lot of pressure on Garsfontein and with one minute remaining prop Johan van Wyk scored a try to grab the victory out of Garsfonteins hands. Tinus de Beer remained calm under pressure and kicked the winning points.

  • Kearsney College thrash St. Stithian’s College

    St Stithians hosted Kearsney in Saturday’s ideal rugby conditions in Randburg, Gauteng. Kearsney dominated play from the start but poor ball control and many handling errors prevented the visitors from scoring any points early in the match. Captain Matt Reece-Edwards sparked the fire with a brilliant individual run of 60m from a break at the tail of the line out. Tristian Tedder converted for a 7-nil lead.

    Four minutes later he managed another break, to feed Dan du Preez who made good yardage before passing to his brother, Jean-Luc du Preez. When tackled just short of the line, JL flipped the ball back to brother Daniel, who scored under the posts, for Tedder to convert.

    The Saints players defended with everything they had and restricted the score to 14-nil at halftime.

    Eight tries were scored in the second half, the first from flanker Jarred Hayes-Hill following a line out drive which Tedder converted. Hooker Jordan Meaker then collected the ball from the resulting kick-off and ran a good 20m from where the ball went wide. Blair Cremer carried it well before off- loading to winger Ryan van der Waal to score in the left-hand corner.

    Saints pressed hard from the kick-off and enjoyed some rare time in the visitors 22 but lost possession and Cremer collected and sprinted 70m for the first of his two tries and a 36-nil lead.

    Kearsney responded immediately from the kick-off, when Hayes-Hill collected to feed Tedder who found fullback Chris Lines linking well at pace, and put Van der Waal in for his second try of the afternoon. Again Tedder converted, taking the score to 43-0.

    Ayron Schramm scored the next try from an opted scrum, combining well with the two halfbacks for Tedder to convert. Dan du Preez then scored his second try from running a good line loose to the ruck for Tedder to convert.

    Fittingly the captain scored his second and the final try of the match from a counter attack started by Dan du Preez and Lines which fixed the defending fullback and passing to the always present scrum half.

    Outstanding performers for Kearsney were Reece Edwards, the Du Preez twins, Schramm, Hayes Hill, Meaker, Tedder and Cremer.

  • Schoonspruit rule the wheatlands

    In a thrilling FNB Classic Clash Hoërskool Schoonspruit of Malmesbury beat Hoërskool Piketberg from just down the road 24-23, thanks to a try in the last action of the match.

    Schools matches of this class are 35 minutes each way. In the last four minutes of this match the score went from 19-17 for Schoonspruit to 20-19 and then 23-19 for Piketberg and finally 24-23 to Schoonspruit.

    No wonder the crowds, in big numbers supporting both sides, were noisily excited. For Schoonspruit it was a perfect ending to a perfect day under blue skies amongst the mountains of the Cape.

    Before the match the schools each sang their song and toasted each other and then Piketberg kicked off. They kicked off deep and Schoonspruit started running. The player who set them running was flyhalf Anzo Stubbs, a special player who had played centre for Boland Schools at Craven Weeks in 2011 and 2012. He won’t be playing this year as he recently turned 19. What a star!

    In the match Schoonspruit were generally livelier, quicker to react. But both sides were guilty of faulty handling and both sides conceded many turnovers.

    Stubbs got Schoonspruit running from the kick-off and they were stopped 10 metres or so from the Piketberg line. But Schoonspruit were on the attack as Stubbs broke again and lock Tembelani Matiwani forced his way over under the posts. 7-0 after 2 minutes.

    Again Schoonspruit ran from the kick-off and then they counterattacked and then Stubbs broke and chipped. It was all Schoonspruit as Piketberg could not get their hands on the ball. When they did they proved their worth as tall flyhalf Stephan Breunissen broke beating three till Wayde Pieters tackled him just short of the line. Schoonspruit were penalised under their posts but Piketberg tapped and charged. They lost the ball forward and Schoonspruit cleared. After that they kicked penalty attempts at go all.

    In the first half Schoonspruit were penalised eight times, Schoonspruit not once. In the match over all Schoonspruit conceded 13 penalties to four. Of the 13 penalties, 11 were at the tackle.

    Breunissen goaled two of the penalties. 7-6 after 22 minutes.

    Piketberg’s left wing was clearly fast and skilful. He was good on defence and fast on attack., When Devon Smith broke Stander saved and cleared and then hooker Erich Kankowski gave him a perfect pass. Stander raced away from his marker and then swerved inside for a brilliant try. 11-7 after 32 minutes.

    A Breunissen penalty at the start of the second half stretched the lead to 14-7.

    Schoonspruit counterattacked and Matiwani was close but knocked on trying to ground the ball for the try. Piketberg cleared but Mishaun Arendse kicked and chased and forced a five-metre scrum. From the scrum eighthman Cheslyn Korasie broke. He was tackled but the ball went to Stubbs who cut back against the tide and scored an excellent try to make the score 14-all after 45 minutes.

    Breunissen restored Piketberg’s lead with a penalty four minutes later and Schoonspruit speeded the game up. Stubbs chipped and chased. Piketberg were penalised twice and Matiwani tapped and charged. The ball came back to scrumhalf Gertwill le Fleur under pressure. Somehow he got away from one and then with dazzling footwork beat two defenders before celebrating his try with a swanky dive. 19-17 to Schoonspruit after 57 minutes.

    That was the score going into the last 10 minutes but Breunissen, from a long way out at an acute angled, unleashed a soaring drop at goal,. which was over. 20-19 to Piketberg with 7 minutes to play. Then he goaled a penalty. 23-19 with 4 minutes to play.

    It was a hectic four minutes. Schoonspruit ran a maul from a line-out and Piketberg were penalised. Arendse tapped on the far right, a ruck formed and Schoonspruit went far left where Korasie had an overlap and raced over for the try that won the match. The conversion hit the upright but it did not matter as the final whistle went, producing much glee in the Schoonspruit camp.

    It was Piketberg’s first defeat of the year. They were glum.

    Scorers:

    For Schoonspruit:
    Tries: Tembelani Matiwani, Anzo Stubbs, Gertwill le Fleur, Cheslyn Korasie
    Con: Gurdwill Coetzee 2

  • Janse van Rensburg druk vier keer vir Trekkers

    DIE Griffons se Cravenweek-flank van verlede jaar, André Janse van Rensburg se spelpeil begin op die regte tyd ‘n opwaartse kurwe te toon. Die kaptein van die Hoërskool Voortrekker het Saterdag vier drieë in sy span se oorwinning van 69-13 oor Hoërskool Kroonstad op laasgenoemde se tuisveld gedruk.

    Janse van Rensburg behoort vanjaar weer ‘n staatmaker vir die Perses te wees. Die Trekkers se stut Ernie Sumner, skrumskakel Eloff Scheepers, senter Wian van der Watt en Junior Smit tel onder die uitblinkers. Die span van Bethlehem het elf drieë ingeryg. Vir Blouskool het die agtsteman Jan-Louis du Plessis, senter PR Janse van Rensburg en slot Erlo Kleinhans moedig probeer walgooi.

    Hentie Cilliers het in Virginia vir Witteberg van Bethlehem 38-10 geklop. Die tuisspan kon rustyd slegs ‘n voorsprong van 17-10 opbou.

    Henties se agtsteman Gregan Hull het soos gewoontlik uitstaanse spel gelewer. Agterlangs die senter, Riaan Pretorius goeie spel vir die wenspan gelewer.

    Welkom Gimnasium se seisoen begin ook behoorlik ritme kry. Gimmies het HTS Welkom 41-0 getroef. Die wenspan het rustyd net 10-0 voorgeloop, maar in die tweede helfte na ‘n hoer rat oorgeskakel.

    Voorlangs het die flank Albert Brummer en agtsteman Riaan Vermeulen vir die wenspan uitgeblink. Agterlangs verdien die losskakel JL Carry-Smith ‘n klop op die skouer vir sy vertoning.

    Die Afrikaanse Hoerskool Kroonstad het Goudveld 24-11 uitoorle. Vir die wenspan kan die slot Francois Stemmet, flank Gerrit Otto, senter JP le Roux en stut David Rule tevrede met hul vertonings voel.

    Reitz is stewig oppad om sy plek in die uitkloprondes van die Oos-Vrystaatse liga te bespreek. Reitz moes hard werk om Harrismith 12-8 Saterdag onder te kry. Die span se sege van 19-12 oor Paul Erasmus twee weke gelede het die span van Reitz se kanse ook ‘n hupstoot gegee.

    Bothaville het in die Sandveld vir Wessel Maree 64-0 afgestof. Die wenspan se losskakel, Jeandre Kleinhans het 24 van sy span se punte aangeteken. Bothaville het elf driee in die weghol-sege gedruk. Kleinhans het sewe daarvan gedoel en ook self twee gedruk.

    Riebeeckstad het met sy oorwinning van 30-0 oor Hennenman verseker dat hy regstreeks tot die halfeindstryde van die Sandveld-liga deurdring. Riebies het in die lynstane die oorhand gehad en baie besit in die afdeling van die spel afgevat. Die span se uitblinkers voorlangs was stut Tiaan du Plooy, slot Kobus Scheepers, en die lostrio Morné Nortjé, Zander Bester en JM Uys. Agterlangs het die losskakel Siegie van Wyk en vleuel Johan Engelbrecht goed vertoon.

  • Sannies en Fichies belangrike tweestryd

    SATERDAG is die belangrikste dag in die rugbyseisoen vir die rugbyspanne van Hoërskool Sand du Plessis en Hoërskool Fichardtpark. Sannies het vanjaar sy terugkeer tot die Vrystaatse A-liga gemaak en sal op sy tuisveld teen Fichies mik om sy eerste oorwinning en waarskynlik sy enigste in dié liga te behaal.

    ‘n Oorwinning in dié wedstryd sal egter vir albei skole van uiterste belang wees. Fichies se hulpafrigter, Diaan Neethling was in 2008 kaptein van Sannies se eerstespan. Sy afrigter daardie jaar, Roy Doubell is steeds Sannies se breier, met Chris Kleynhans as sy medeafrigter. Kleynhans het in 2003 Sannies se eerstes aangevoer.

    Grey-kollege sal vandag teen Sentraal op laasgenoemde se tuisveld na sy nederlaag verlede week teen Affies van Pretoria wil vergoed. Tralies het verlede week ook teen Jim Fouché tweede gekom, maar die tuisspan sal gewis nie dié stryd net gewonne oorgee nie.

    In die Noord-Vrystaat is die kragmeting tussen Hentie Cilliers van Virginia en Witteberg van Bethlehem die hoofmaal van vandag. Die wedstryd wat op Virginia beslis word beloof om hope vuurwerk op te lewer.

    Witteberg is nog onoorwonne in die liga en Henties, die verdedigende kampioen, het al teen Voortrekker die knie gebuig.

    Die wedstryd tussen Riebeeckstad en Hennenman in die Sandveld-liga op eersgenoemde se tuisveld is ‘n belangrike stryd vir albei spanne. Die wenner sal heel moontlik saam met Bothaville regstreeks tot die halfeindstryd van dié liga deurdring, terwyl die verloorder eers ‘n kwarteindstryd teen die kwalifiseerders van die Sandveldse B-liga sake vir ‘n plek in die halfeindstryd sal moet uitspook.

    Griekwas hou hulle proefwedstryde op Diamantveld in Kimberley vandag. Die Poubloues speel vanjaar die dou van die gras af in die eerste wedstryd van die eerste dag van die Cravenweek vir hoërskole in Polokwane.

    Vandag se bepalings is (tuisspanne eerste vermeld):

    10:30: Reitz t. Harrismith; 10:50: Cherries t. Louis Botha; 11:20: Hoërskool Bloemfontein t. Zastron; 12:00: Ficksburg t. Vrede; 12:00: Hentie Cilliers t. Witteberg; 12:15: Riebeeckstad t. Hennenman; 12:15: Theunissen t. Sandveld; 12:20: Bothaville t. Wessel Maree; 12:30: St. Alban-kollege t. St. Andrew; 13:10: Sentraal t. Grey-kollege; 13:10: Sand du Plessis t. Fichardtpark.
