Welkom Gimnasium<\/strong> and Goudveld<\/strong> square off for the FNB Classic Clashes<\/strong> spoils and the bragging rights in Welkom on Saturday, continuing a tradition that started in 1963.<\/p>\n

The Gimmies<\/strong> won that first encounter, 11-0, and have been dominant ever since. The Gouties<\/strong> will try to repeat their success of 2014, when they last toppled the Black Jerseys in the annual derby.<\/p>\n

The visitors have a mountain to climb if they want to overcome Gim on their home turf this weekend, though.<\/p>\n

Welkom Gimnasium has been setting the pace in the Griffons<\/strong> region this season and it shows as 11 of their players have been selected to don the purple jerseys again at the Craven Week in Krugersdorp in June.<\/p>\n

Joshua Coertzen<\/strong>, Leano Williams<\/strong>, Rylen Kirsten<\/strong>, Dylan Kemp<\/strong>, Revaun van Niekerk<\/strong>, Jayden Auld<\/strong>, Buhle Ngxabayi<\/strong>, Kgannya Molapo<\/strong>, Revaldo Farmer<\/strong> and Jayden Weideman<\/strong> all earned their places in this year’s Griffons squad after some memorable performances throughout the season.<\/p>\n

In 2014, though, the Gouties didn’t have any players in the regional side when they beat a star-studded Welkom Gim, which included SA Schools’ winger, Nazo Nkala<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year, fullback Ru-Bran Kock<\/strong> and hooker Jan Coetzee<\/strong> will represent the Gouties in the Griffons lineup.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, Ho\u00ebrskool Trio<\/strong> proved that the selections are not necessarily indicative of results when they held Welkom Gimnasium to a 17-17 draw in Kroonstad.<\/p>\n

Despite not having any players in the Craven Week squad, Trio proved that they could keep up with the big dogs, with exciting talents, like Byron Maggerman<\/strong> and Byron Biennas,<\/strong> in their ranks.<\/p>\n

They take on Hentie Cilliers<\/strong> this weekend. It promises to be another entertaining clash.<\/p>\n

Henties has had a tough run of fixtures, losing against Witteberg<\/strong> (24-30), Jim Fouch\u00e9<\/strong> (17-27) and Voortrekker<\/strong> (12-37) in their recent outings, but they’ve shown a fiery determination and are due a good win.<\/p>\n
