\"NewsGJim Fouch\u00e9<\/strong> ultimately managed a comfortable 38-17 victory over Sentraal<\/strong> in their FNB Classic Clash<\/strong> after their neighbours gave them a couple of scares early on.<\/p>\n

The game is available to watch again on SuperSport Schools<\/strong> – Register now<\/a><\/p>\n

The first half was a tightly contested affair, as the home team only managed to break through the Tralie defence once, when their big loosehead, Bernard Labuschagne<\/strong>, powered over for the opening try.<\/p>\n

Sentraal were resolute in defence, even though JF enjoyed much of the possession early on and when their captain and centre, Hanco Smith<\/strong>, scored just before half-time, it looked as if the Tralies might have something up their sleeve for the big derby.<\/p>\n

The home team regained control in the second half, scoring five more to pull away and secure the win.<\/p>\n

CJ Raath<\/strong>, Jim Fouch\u00e9’s impressive flanker, powered through the tacklers, stretched to score and began building a lead for the home team again.<\/p>\n

Sentraal struck back again though, through none other than the returning AJ Senekal<\/strong>, their prop who had been a standout player for them before his injury a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

After that however, JF opened up the flood gates and Hanko Botha<\/strong> (flyhalf), Triston van der Walt<\/strong> (scrumhalf), Calvin Bolt<\/strong> (nr. 8) and of course, their captain and try-scoring machine, Stefan Venter<\/strong> (hooker), all managed to cross the line and take the game out of reach of the challengers.<\/p>\n

Venter had a great game again, and Van der Walt was a menace around the rucks and was kicking well on the day.<\/p>\n

Were it not for a lengthy stop in play as a couple of injuries were rightly attended to, the score line may have been a bit nastier, as the Sentraal boys seemed to have their wind knocked out of them by the JF onslaught in the second half.<\/p>\n

Fichardtpark<\/strong> extended their unbeaten streak to 12 games this season in a thriller against Landboudal <\/strong>of Jacobsdal.<\/p>\n

The Lanties were in it to the very end, with only two points separating them from the Fichie Lions when the final whistle blew.<\/p>\n

The accuracy of Dailen Geldenhuys<\/strong>, the Fichardpark flyhalf, who expertly converted all three tries, made the difference in the end.<\/p>\n

Luhan du Plessis<\/strong> (hooker) who replaced Jaco Janse van Rensburg<\/strong> in the starting lineup for this game played exceptionally and scored a brace for the team from Bloemfontein.<\/p>\n

In Reddersburg, Sterling Batties<\/strong>, the centre, scored 16 points for Hendrik Potgieter<\/strong> in their 46-10 victory over Sand du Plessis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Batties scored two tries and kicked three conversions to help his team in the main event of the day’s activities.<\/p>\n

Brandfort<\/strong> got their revenge against Bloemfontein High<\/strong>, beating the visitors 61-12.<\/p>\n

Last year, Bloemfontein HS beat Brandfort 24-21 for the first time ever, and the hosts were not about to allow a repeat of that incident.<\/p>\n

For Bloem High, Duan Visagie<\/strong> (hooker) carried the ball strongly and managed their lineouts well and Caydon Ontong<\/strong> looked dangerous with the ball in hand and was solid in defence.<\/p>\n

Brandforts big no. 8, Wehan Strydom<\/strong>, seemed unstoppable though and scored four tries.<\/p>\n

JC Venter<\/strong> (lock) and Altus Coetzee<\/strong> (scrumhalf) also scored a brace each, taking the game out of reach of the visitors.<\/p>\n

For the home team, it was the flyhalf, Henr\u00e9 Smith<\/strong>, who stood out, along with his big forwards, Strydom and Venter.<\/p>\n
