\"NewsGThe annual Brackenfell Sports Weekend<\/strong> kicks off on Friday and promises bucketloads of school sports action for fans to enjoy.<\/p>\n

With a total of 110 rugby teams, 74 netball teams and 50 hockey teams in action over the course of two days, the Brakkies<\/strong> are preparing for a chock-a-block weekend as the winter school sports season hits full steam ahead.<\/p>\n

Brackenfell<\/strong>‘s 1st XV plays under the lights on Friday, taking on Hopefield<\/strong> at 20:30, in front of their home supporters.<\/p>\n

They had a challenging start to their campaign this year when they took on Framesby at the pre-season Outeniqua 101 Year Festival<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n

Though they lost that match 12-31, there were promising signs, with players like their fullback, Zane van Schalkwyk<\/strong>, who crossed the line twice in that match, showing off their capabilities on attack.<\/p>\n

Hopefield enjoyed a solid season last year and ended their campaign with a decisive 60-5 win over Melkbosstrand<\/strong>, so it will be exciting to see if they can recreate that form against the hosts this early in 2024, especially since the Melkies got one over Brackenfell at the Drostdy pre-season sports day, at the beginning of March, winning 14-10.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the game between Worcester Gimnasium<\/strong> and Tygerberg<\/strong> promises to be a highlight.<\/p>\n

The Gimmies were an exciting team to follow in 2023 and they hit the ground running, winning both of their matches at the Drostdy festival, and then recorded a 19-0 victory over Langenhoven Gim<\/strong> at the Kwagga Sports Day.<\/p>\n

Armaan Adendorff<\/strong> (prop) and Aiden Abrahams<\/strong> (flyhalf) have emerged as two exciting prospects for the team from Worcester.<\/p>\n

The Tigers<\/strong> got off to a slow start at the HTS Drostdy event, but with a proud rugby heritage, and boasting alumni like the World Cup-winning lock-duo of Eben Etzebeth and Marvin Orie<\/a>, you can count on the boys from Tygerberg to put on a show against the Bolanders on Saturday.<\/p>\n
