\"NewsGWith both Milnerton<\/strong> and Melkbosstrand<\/strong> coming off losses over the last weekend, they will be itching for a chance to end their seasons on a positive note at their final big derby of the season on Friday.<\/p>\n

Milnerton ran into an in-form Stellenberg team last Friday, losing 24-7, while Melkbosstrand had a difficult day against Brackenfell (48-15).<\/p>\n

Friday’s match is the perfect opportunity for both teams to add another highlight to their respective campaigns as the winter sports season nears the end.<\/p>\n

The last meeting between these two teams came down to the wire, with Melkbosstrand taking the victory, 16-15.<\/p>\n

The visitors will be relying on the experience and composure of their fullback, Cyle Theys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His winger, Ashton Januarie<\/strong>, came off the bench to score in their previous outing and will be keen for a chance to make an impact this weekend again.<\/p>\n

The host’s inside centre, Frank Hitimana<\/strong>, is an exciting player to watch and could have a pivotal role to play for his team on Friday,<\/p>\n

His big eighth man, Liberty Nyashanu<\/strong>, is also a livewire and one to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Tygerberg<\/strong> and Brackenfell<\/strong> take each other on in a big northern suburbs FNB Classic Clash<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Tigers will be desperate to get back to winning ways after Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville gave them a 91-0 hiding last week.<\/p>\n

Brackenfell also went down against the Durbies the weekend before that but only lost by 45-10.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, Brackenfell beat Melkbosstrand quite comfortably by 48-13 to get back to winning ways and they will want to keep that momentum going for this weekend’s clash.<\/p>\n

The big eighth man, Raiden Rodney<\/strong>, came on as a substitution in that game and scored twice.<\/p>\n

Rodney starts this weekend and will want to add to his tally.<\/p>\n
