Last year, Ho\u00ebrskool <\/strong>Strand<\/strong> fought back from a 0-17 deficit to draw 17-17 with Charlie Hofmeyr<\/strong> in Ceres. This weekend, the two proud schools take to the field again in a bid to find a winner.<\/p>\n

The Charlies have been on fire again this season, tasting early success at the Oakdale Klein Karoo Saadproduksie Rugbyweek<\/strong> in Riversdal where they annihilated the rest of the competition to book a spot in the finale against Ho\u00ebrskool Brackenfell.<\/p>\n

In the main event, they showed great character to claw their way back from an 11-point half-time deficit to win 15-14<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Strand was also at the event in Riversdal but was denied a clean streak by Ho\u00ebrskool Lichtenburg. They came up just short, losing 18-19 to the team from the North-West.<\/p>\n

Impressive victories over Hamiltons u19 at the Brackenfell Sports Day<\/a>, as well as against Ho\u00ebrskool Middelburg and Kemptonpark at Oakdale, have shown that the boys from Strand have what it takes, and they’ll be hoping that the home-field advantage is enough to give them an edge over the visitors.<\/p>\n

Watch out for the Ceres outfit’s flyhalf, Luan Giliomee<\/strong> in combination with his inside centre, Philip du Plessis<\/strong>, this weekend. It was the duo’s synergy against Brackenfell that enabled Charlie Hofmeyr to steal the victory with two spectacular tries in the dying moments.<\/p>\n

The experienced partnership of Tyron Nicholas<\/strong>, Heinrich April<\/strong> and Grezano Plaatjies<\/strong> in the home team’s backline can be equally as destructive, however. The trio formed part of the Strand squad that came close to a spectacular comeback against Charlies last year, and they’ll be aiming to take it one step further this weekend.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there is more action in Wellington, where Hugenote<\/strong> takes on HTS Drostdy,<\/strong> and in Somerset West, where Parel Vallei<\/strong> hosts DF Malan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
