He and his forward pack come up against a Witteberg side who have impressed over the holiday, with many of their players excelling over the holiday at the <strong>VKB Week<\/strong> and the <strong>Rhino Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Their eighth man,<strong> Daniel Meintjies<\/strong>, and scrumhalf, <strong>Dries Stemmet<\/strong>, have been the standout players for the team from Bethlehem this year.<\/p>\n<p>Their neighbouring school, <strong>Voortrekker<\/strong>, hosts <strong>Diamantveld<\/strong> for their clash.<\/p>\n<p>The Diamonds found their form before the break with two impressive wins over Duineveld (30-15) and Ho\u00ebrskool Trio (21-15).<\/p>\n<p>They will look to continue building on that momentum this weekend. Their Academy Week centre, <strong>Simon Liversage<\/strong>, starred for the Griqua team in Johannesburg over the holiday, and their Griqua Craven Week players,<strong> Valentino Lenge<\/strong> (centre), <strong>Kyle Taute<\/strong> (winger), <strong>JJ Fourie<\/strong> (flanker),<strong> Achiles de Jager<\/strong> (flanker),<strong> FJ de Fries<\/strong> (prop) also performed well in George.<\/p>\n<p>Voortrekker also had three players in the Griffons Craven Week team, with their lively scrumhalf, <strong>Alex Maree<\/strong>, their fullback, <strong>Tumi Khoza<\/strong> and their big prop,<strong> Cecil Parsons<\/strong> being selected to represent their province at the highest level for their age grades.<\/p>\n<p>Their big hooker who can run like a winger, <strong>Arnold Ras<\/strong>, was also a standout performer at the Academy Week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ho\u00ebrskool Trio<\/strong> had seven players in the Griffons Craven Week team and they will be looking to assert their dominance over <strong>Sentraal<\/strong> who have struggled to realize their full potential this season.<\/p>\n<p>Their flyhalf, <strong>Byron Biennas<\/strong>, and centre,<strong> BJ Pelser<\/strong>, also combined exceptionally well at the Academy Week, leading the charge for the Griffons at that event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The teams:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fichardtpark vs Goudveld at 13:30:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fichardtpark:\u00a0<\/strong>15 Rubin Visagie, 14 Edward Mpinga, 13 Duan Viviers, 12 Dandr\u00e9 van der Merwe, 11 Janco Mollentze, 10 Martin Kalp, 9 Devant\u00e9 Claassen, 8 Tumelo Leputla, 7 Wian Pienaar, 6 Jan-Nel du Plessis, 5 Nathan Dodd, 4 Jaco Grobbelaar, 3 Nathan Swanepoel, 2 Luhan du Plessis, 1 Zaine van Zyl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goudveld:\u00a0<\/strong>15 Tyrece Britz, 14 Enzo Beukes, 13 Urban Pienaar, 12 Ruben Crous, 11 Ru-Bran Kock, 10 Quinton Davids, 9 Ryan de Jager, 8 Jonathan Olivier, 7 Schalk du Plessis, 6 Kabous du Plooy, 5 Juanricht Cloete, 4 Lodie van Dyk, 3 Marco-Jan Pretorius, 2 Jan Coetzee, 1 Pieter Reyneke.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Witteberg vs Jim Fouch\u00e9 at 13:30:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Witteberg:\u00a0<\/strong>15 Curtley Smith, 14 Ashton Diedericks, 13 Kenyon Morat, 12 Nico van Rensburg, 11 Xavier Lotter, 10 Sydwell Sethi, 9 Dries Stemmet, 8 Daniel Meintjies, 7 Llewellyn Beukes, 6 Marco Grobler, 5 Gerard de Boer, 4 Pieter Nel, 3 Bongi Mbambo, 2 Kobus Hefer, 1 Zethu Mokhosi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jim Fouch\u00e9:\u00a0<\/strong>15 Christian Strydom, 14 Altus du Plessis, 13 Wiandro Wiese, 12 Heinrich Hattingh, 11 Dillon Calitz, 9 Tristan van der Walt, 8 Calvin Bolt, 7 CJ Raath, 6 Ruan Heymans, 5 SW van der Merwe, 4 Stefan van Rooyen, 3 Stean Marais, 2 Stefan Venter, 1 Bernard Labuschagne.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Voortrekker vs Diamantveld at 13:30:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Voortrekker:\u00a0<\/strong>15 Tiaan van Rooyen, 14 Kamohelo Moses, 13 Hein Smith, 12 Craig Mann, 11 Kaneng Komane, 10 Johan Whitehead, 9 Alexander Maree, 8 Dawid Fourie, 7 Fano Linde, 6 Jayden de Jesus, 5 Harry Kymdell, 4 Alberto Argentino, 3 Cecil Parsons, 2 Arnold Ras, 1 Francois Maree.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diamantveld:\u00a0<\/strong>15 Liam Ferris, 14 Kyle Taute, 13 Valentino Lenge, 12 Simon Liversage, 11 Michael Prinsloo, 10 Marno Greef, 9 Marco Matthewson, 8 Paul Cronje, 7 Ernie Kruger, 6 Achiles de Jager, 5 JJ Fourie, 4 Dani\u00ebl Kuhn, 3 Flip du Randt, 2 De Wet du Plooy, 1 FJ de Vries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sentraal vs Ho\u00ebrskool Trio at 13:40:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sentraal:<\/strong> 15 Pat Cloete, 14 Lee-Yagin Arendse, 13 Hanco Smith, 12 Ruan van Niekerk, 11 Reece van Rooyen, 10 Hendrik Jonker, 9 J van der Merwe, 8 Sarel Taljaard, 7 Stephan de Lange, 6 Chris Kachelhoffer, 5 Steven Smith, 4 Damian van Zyl, 3 AJ Senekal, 2 Marnus Earle, 1 Van Zyl Hetzel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ho\u00ebrskool Trio:\u00a0<\/strong>15 Jaco Steyn, 14 Haaron Kebeya, 13 BJ Pelser, 12 Charlten Basson, 11 Thuto Kekane, 10 Byron Biennas, 9 CJ Taljaard, 8 Tapiwa Mundeta, 7 JD Kirstein, 6 JP Botha, 5 Hencoe Kriek, 4 Maansie Crous, 3 Jesse Jordaan, 2 Heindrich Loubscher, 1 Anrhu Mulder. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wesgrow Series continues this weekend after the holiday break.
