Ho\u00ebrskool Ben Vorster<\/strong> forwards’ coach Archie Norval<\/strong> and his charges will rest easy after another dominant display – the Buffels’ <\/strong><\/em>second in as many matches at the Fairtree Sport Festival<\/strong> hosted by Die Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark<\/strong> in Pretoria.<\/p>\n

Openside flank Kobus de Beer<\/strong> was named the Man of the Match in the Tzaneen school’s emphatic 50\u201312 victory over Ho\u00ebrskool Randburg<\/strong> in the penultimate fixture of the tournament on Monday.<\/p>\n

He was a standout in a dominant pack, excelling at the breakdown and on defence. To compound the pressure he placed on the opposition, he also crossed the tryline for a well-deserved brace.<\/p>\n

Another star performer was the Buffels’ tighthead prop, JJ Crewe<\/strong>. He impressed in Ben Vorster’s 55-17 victory over<\/a> Ho\u00ebrskool Dinamika <\/strong>on Saturday, and he again delivered an exceptional performance. His combination of powerful scrummaging and a high work rate around the park makes him a formidable opponent.<\/p>\n

In the backline, flyhalf Lolos Letlabola<\/strong> controlled proceedings with composure. His tactical kicking was particularly influential, and he regularly turned the Ho\u00ebrskool Randburg<\/strong> pack while placing his forwards in advantageous positions.<\/p>\n

With the Pieties<\/em><\/strong> of Ho\u00ebrskool Pietersburg<\/strong> having earlier secured a 47-12 victory over Ho\u00ebrskool Tygerberg <\/strong><\/a>to round off a successful trip to Pretoria, and with the Virseker Noordvaal Cup<\/strong> fast approaching, anticipation is building for a compelling Limpopo derby later this year. Both Pietersburg and Ben Vorster appear to be operating at a high level.<\/p>\n

In the match preceding the Buffels<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 clash, Ho\u00ebrskool Fichardtpark<\/strong> returned to winning ways thanks to Guiteau Petrus<\/strong>, who slotted a late penalty to secure a narrow 8\u20135 victory over Heidelberg Volkskool<\/strong>.\u00a0The Fichardtpark flyhalf also helped to set up his scrumhalf, Ofentse Tseko<\/strong>, for a try.<\/p>\n

The Bloemfontein outfit’s ability to disrupt Volkies<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 rhythm throughout the contest, which led to numerous unforced errors, was key to them claiming a narrow three-point win.<\/p>\n
