  • Jansies sprei vlerke teen Centurion

    Die verdedigende kampioen in die Tuks-reeks, die Hoërskool E.G. Jansen in Boksburg, het sy aanslag om sy titel te behou Saterdag met ’n klinkende sege van 65-3 oor Centurion begin.

    Die besoekers se losskakel, Xander Crause, het Centurion se doellyn drie keer oorgesteek. Hy het ook met drie doelskoppe geslaag vir ’n bydrae van 21 punte tot sy span se sege.

    Die span se vleuel Irvin Ali en senters, Quinton Beaton en Erich Cronjé, het elk ook dubbelle driedruk-plesier ervaar. Garsfontein van Pretoria het Ermelo op sy tuisveld met 45-17 verslaan ondanks ’n insinking in die tweede helfte. Garsies se ster was sy slot PJ Steenkamp. Dit is verstaanbaar dat die SA Skole-skrumskakel, Em­brose Papier, nie so gevaarlik soos gewoonlik was nie vanweë sy besige atletiekskedule. Hy het nogtans Ermelo se doellyn twee keer oorgesteek.

    Monument van Krugersdorp het sy seisoen ook met ’n oortuigende sege afgeskop. Die span het Transvalia met 52-0 in Vanderbijlpark geklop. Die slotpaar, Ruan Vermaak en Reinhard Nothnagel, was in ’n verwoestende bui en aan die spits van die sege.

    HTS Middelburg het op sy tuisveld ’n bonuspunt-sege van 47-19 oor die Hoërskool Klerksdorp behaal. Die Rooi Bulle het sewe keer gaan druk. Die Hoërskool Eldoraigne van Pretoria moes hard werk om die Hoërskool Rustenburg met 24-19 te troef. Die wenspan word vanjaar deur Johan du Toit, die voormalige breier van die Valke se senior span, afgerig. Die kragmeting tussen Vereeniging Gimnasium en die Hoërskool Pietersburg was ook ’n hewige stryd. Pieties het met 26-24 gewen.

  • Uppies en Velties beïndruk op Clover Sportdag

    As mens na die twee vernaamste voederskole van Griekwa-platteland se Cravenweek-span, die Hoërskool Upington en Duineveld, se vertonings op die Hoërskool Fichardtpark se Clover Sportdag kyk, behoort die unie vanjaar een van sy beter spanne van die afgelope paar jaar na die toernooi te stuur.

    Uppies het veral in hulle sege van 36-13 oor die Afrikaanse Hoërskool Kroonstad beïndruk. Die span se heelagter, Benna Nieuwoudt, se vertoning was waarskynlik die beste deur ‘n speler op die sportdag. Hy het amper na willekeur verby verdedigers geglip en hulle met sy vinnige voetwerk gefnuik. Hy het egter met sy stelskopwerk op die nat veld gesukkel.

    Die span van Upington se hele agterlyn was op sy stukke. Die senter, Gert Ruping en vleuel Sheldon Losper, verdien egter om genoem te word. Losper het sy span se eerste drie vanaf ‘n onderskep vanuit sy eie halfgebied gedruk. Voorlangs het Uppies se SA Skole-flank, Cobus Wiese, ook goeie spel gelewer.

    Vir Rooiskool het sy slotpaar, Ettienne O’Donovan en Mechiel Bosman, voor die pap dik aangemaak.

    Duineveld het ‘n gedugte pak voorspelers met veral die slot en kaptein, Adriaan Burger, flank Erik Jordaan en haker Dolf Zandberg wat baie spanne nog problem vanjaar gaan besorg. Velties het die Hoërskool Grens met 15-12 geklop.
    Goudveld-Hoërskool het hom met 24-12 teen Marlow Landbou se Wolramme vasgeloop. Gouties se agtsteman, Pietman Kotze, en senter Jonathan April, se vertonings was die ligpunte in die nederlaag. Vir die Wolramme was hulle losskakel, Gerhard Potgieter, uistaande.

    Sand du Plessis het vir Hangklip van Queenstown met 15-13 uitoorlê. Riebeeckstad het hom met 37-0 teen Burgersdorp vasgeloop, terwyl President Steyn vir Aliwal-Noord met 24-12 geklop het. Vir Steyners wassy haker Melvyn Marais, flank Fanie Griesel, slot Janco Nel en skrumskakel, Fanie van Heerden, staatmakers in die kragmeting.

    De Aar se vleuel, Chadley Meyer, het met ‘n driekuns aan drieë sy span tot ‘n oortuigende sege van 43-7 oor Zastron gehelp. Jim Fouché het gesukkel teen Voortrekker van Bethlehem in hulle interskole, maar steeds daarin geslaag om met 17-15 as oorwinnaars van die veld te stap. Vir JF was sy flank, Hanno Spies, sy beste speler op die dag.

    Bothaville was te sterk vir Hoërskool Bloemfontein en het hulle wedstryd met 57-0 gewen. Die span se slot, Wian Nell, was as speler van die wedstryd aangewys. Agterlangs verdien die heelagter, Paul Roux, ook om vermeld te word.

    Bultfontein het Stella met 26-7 getroef, terwyl Brandfort met 17-8 teen Hoërskool Middelburg van die Oos-Kaap vasgeval het. Kalahari van Kuruman het in die hoofwedstryd van hulle jaarlikse sportdag vir Postmasburg met 34-5 verslaan. Reitz was in die hoofwedstryd van Hoërskool Parys se sportdag teen die gasheer in aksie. Die span van die Riemland was met 17-8 baas.

  • Fichies en Henties deel louere op Clover Sportdag

    Die Hoërskool Fichardtpark en Hentie Cilliers van Virginia se eerste rugbyspanne het 24-elk gelykop in die hoofwedstryd van Fichies se jaarlikse sportdag in ‘n wipplankstryd gespeel.

    Albei spanne het met rukke se stote gespeel, maar die kere wat hulle aan die gang gekom het, het albei gevaarlik op die aanval gelyk. Die gasheer se buitesenter, Myburgh van Zyl, was sy span se beste speler op die dag. Hy het boonop twee indrukwekkende drieë afgerond. Sy sentermaat, Lohan Zeelie, het self twee keer gaan druk.

    Henties se losskakel, Domenic Smit, was egter die beste speler op die veld. Hy het telke male verby verdedigers met sy vinnige voetwerk gedans. Smit het self twee keer gaan druk en sy taktiese skopwerk het Fichies ook op hulle tone gehou. Die span van Virginia se kantman, Gift Leremi, was alomteenwoordig en is vir sy goeie opvolgwerk met ‘n drie beloon.

    Sentraal se Jeremy Koen het met speeltyd reeds verstreke vanaf ‘n tikskoppie vyf tree van die doellyn af oorgeval om aan sy span die kans te gee om uiteindelik vir Diamantveld met 24-22 te troef. Die doelskop van die losskakel, Timmy Robertson, het aan Tralies die sege besorg.

    Diamonds se agtsteman, Vannas Herhold, het vier keer vir die verloorspan oorgeval vanaf dryfmaalbewegings van lynstane af.

    Louis Botha moes hard werk om Landboudal van Jacobsdal met 14-3 tot oorgawe ted wing. Die held in die oorwinning was gewis die buitesenter, Luciano Jones, wat ‘n hele paar sterk lopies ingekry het. Die kantman, Siya Luwaca, het ook met sy spel beïndruk. Lanties se agttal het in die skrums oorheers met hulle skrumskakel, CD Wilke, wat met dié gehalte balbesit baljaar het.

    Noord-Kaap was in ‘n verwoestende bui teen Welkom Gimnasium en het uiteindelik met die telling op 38-28 as oorwinnaars van die veld gestap. Die span van die Diamantstad het in die laaste vyf minute twee drieë afgestaan.
    Northerns se Cravenweek-heelagter, Wilfred Bowers, het ‘n hele paar gevaarlike aanvalle vanuit die laaste vesting geloots. Die span se agtsteman, Gerhard Holtzhausen, het ook ‘n paar goeie lopies ingekry en leiding voorlangs gegee. Die losskakel, Cleo Adams, en vleuel Cameron Hufke, kan ook meer as tevrede met hulle vertonings voel.

    Gimmies se senter, Richmon Gora, het Northerns se verdediging deurgans beproef, maar dit was dalk sy rotsvaste verdediging wat die meeste uitgestaan het. Die span se heelagter, Ezrick Alexander, het in die tweede helfte ook ‘n paar gevaarlike lopies ingekry.

  • Fichardtpark Sportdag steeds grootste in die land

    Fichardtpark Sportdag steeds grootste in die land

    JMD 8622Die Hoërskool Fichardtpark se jaarlikse Clover Sportdag sal vandag weer sy reputasie as Suid-Afrika se grootste skole-sportdag gestand doen. Altesaam 28 eerste rugbyspanne sal op dié dag in aksie wees, met die gasheer wat vir Hentie Cilliers van Virginia in die hoofwedstryd die stryd sal aansê. 

    Die laaste keer wat die twee spanne mekaar op dié sportdag ontmoet het, was Fichies oortuigend met 29-0 in 2007 baas. Die gasheer se enigste Springbok tot op hede, Lionel Mapoe, was aan die spits van daardie oorwinning.

    Fichies sal vandag ook as gunsteling op die veld draf na Henties se nederlaag van 20-14 teen die Hoërskool Kalahari van Kuruman op Brandfort se sportdag.

    Die span van Fichies wat deur Dirkie Groenewald gebrei word, het self verlede week teen die Afrikaanse Hoërskool Kroonstad (24-14) in die stof gebyt.

    Die tuisspan se twee losvoorspelers, die agtsteman Hugo Maartens en flank, Eckhardt Kuhn, sal sleutelrolle vir hulle span vertolk.

    Die wedstryd tussen Sentraal en Diamantveld beloof om dié wedstryd van die dag te wees. Diamonds het vroeër in die week vir Hoërskool Vryburg met 52-23 die loef afgesteek. Daar kan wel nie veel uit dié sege gelees word nie.

    Boonop is daar glo heelwat spelers van die span van Kimberley wat met lastige beserings sukkel, volgens die span se breier, Jean Stemmet.

    Diamonds se Cravenweek-heelagter, Keaton Gordon, sal fyn agterlangs dopgehou moet word. Die baljagter, Janco Cloete, behoort Tralies by die afbreekpunte hoofbrekens te verskaf.

    Die stryd tussen Louis Botha en Landboudal van Jacobsdal sal sonder twyfel een van die mees fisieke stryde van dié dag te wees. Die span van die Rosestad se twee slotte, Austin de Bruin en Kian Skippers, is woelig in die los, maar staan nie ‘n tree in die fisieke aspekte van die spel terug nie.

    Grey-kollege het twee proefspanne wat mekaar op die sportdag pak. Die land se voorste rugbyspan skop sy seisoen volgende Saterdag in Kimberley teen Diamantveld af. Grey se afritgter, Wessel du Plessis, behoort na vandag ‘n goeie idée te hê oor hoe sy span vir die seisoen sal lyk en oor watter diepte hy beskik.

    Live Premier Interschools Derbies

    Paul Roos vs Affies – 28/03/2015 @ 16h45: Markotter Field Paul Roos

    A huge match kicks off the tournament for Paul Roos’ 150th celebrations. Affies have kept the nucleus of their young 2014 side and are keen to prove they are back on track among the top 5 in SA schools rugby. They take on a Paul Roos side brimming with talent and of whom great things are expected. Sure to be a great exhibition of running rugby to set the tone for the season.

    Glenwood vs Maritzburg College – 18/04/2015 @ 14h00: Kings Park (TBC)

    Our second game of the campaign features the derby between Maritzburg College from Pietermaritzburg and Durban side Glenwood. This match could be played at Kings Park as a curtain raiser for a Sharks vs Bulls Super 15 game (to be confirmed). Glenwood has had the better of the fixture in recent years, but College has a proud rugby tradition and should prove again that class is permanent. This game just might have the most entertaining rugby on offer at Kings Park on the day.

    Grey College vs Paarl Boys High – 02/05/2015 @ 14h00: Grey College

    Paarl Boys’ High take the long road to Bloemfontein for their annual derby against the might of SA rugby schools. One of the toughest encounters for Grey College, Paarl Boys High is a team that doesn’t know when it’s beaten. They have one of the best recent records against Grey College as they drew in 2011 in Bloemfontein, won a year later in Paarl and only lost narrowly in 2013 and 2014. The Paarl team have a strong set of forwards and rely on them heavily to dominate up front. Grey College will, as per usual, have a set of forwards to match, backed up by some sublime backliners.

    Paul Roos vs Paarl Gim – 16/05/2015 @ 12h00: Markotter Field Paul Roos

    In mid-May we move back to the Markotter field in Stellenbosch to showcase the derby between old enemies Paul Roos and Paarl Gim. This will be one of the few home games Paul Roos have in their 150th year. Paarl Gim are keen to put one over the Maroon Machine during the celebrations after Paul Roos beat them on their home turf in 2014. The Paarl team has yet to win against the Stellenbosch lads in this age group but Coach Christoff Lotter knows how to assemble a winning team.

    Glenwood vs Monument – 06/06/2015 @ 12h00: Glenwood

    The Krugersdorp Witbulle travel down to Durban to face rivals Glenwood. The Grasshoppers will hope to beat their guests from up north after losing the last two encounters. They will have their work cut out as the Monnas team boasts one of the biggest sets of forwards this season. It will be a battle between them and the agility of the Glenwood backs. No inch will be given in this clash of the titans.

    Paarl Boys High vs Paul Roos – 20/06/2015 @ 14h00: Brug Street Paarl

    The season reaches halfway with a cracker between great rivals from the Winelands. Paul Roos make their third appearance on Premier Interschools and by now their team will be household names. After three dry years, Paul Roos clinched victory over Paarl Boys’ High last year with a winning try in the final seconds. The Paarl boys would love to return the favour in the Maroon Machine’s celebratory year. This is a difficult game to call as matches between these two class acts are always close.

    King Edward VII vs Jeppe – 25/07/2015 @ 14h00: KES

    Schoolboy Rugby doesn’t get much bigger than KES vs Jeppe, as we go north after the holidays for this derby between Johannesburg’s oldest rivals. Last year Jeppe could not pull off a hat-trick of wins as the two teams played out a draw. KES will be hungry for a first success since 2011 when these matrics were in Gr 8. What a fitting way to end their high school rugby careers if they can get one over the old enemy.

    Paarl Gimnasium vs Paarl Boys High – 01/08/2015 @ 15h30: Faure Stadium Paarl

    August brings the “Interskole” games and Premier Interschools televises the biggest of them all to kick off this month of historic encounters. Paarl Gim vs Paarl Boys High sees Northern Paarl battle Southern Paarl. Twenty odd thousand old boys, old girls, moms, dads and fans will pack Faure Stadium to watch a famous derby between two great schools. There is no neutral ground on this day – you are either blue and white or green, gold and red. Tough, uncompromising rugby always wins at this showdown.

    Maritzburg College vs Grey College – 08/08/2015 @ 14h00: Goldstones College

    The next big Interschools sees the return of Grey College in their revived Interschools with Maritzburg College. Last year the boys from Maritzburg had a rude awakening on their return to Bloemfontein. They are, however, playing on their hallowed Goldstones and as many a Grey team can attest, it is always tough. College will recall the feats of Joel Stransky and Shaun Glover, who helped win a memorable tie in 1985. Grey will have to be at their best to maintain their record against College.

    Grey PE vs Selborne College – 15/08/2015 @ 12h00: Grey PE

    A derby between two of the Eastern Cape’s best and most traditional rugby schools is broadcast for the first time by Premier Interschools. The team from Port Elizabeth will have two of their SA Schools players back, while Selborne will field the bulk of their age group team that starred from u/14 to u/16 in the Eastern Cape and Border area. Selborne also retained many of their key players from 2014 and are a strong and settled unit.

    Paul Roos vs Grey College – 22/08/2015 @ 14h00: Markotter Fields Paul Roos

    Paul Roos will feature in the last game of their season against their ultimate rivals. The Maroon Machine will know by now if their 150th year has been a success on the field. They should expect no favours from Grey College as the Bloemfontein boys will also be keen to end their season on a high. This might just turn out to be the match of the season as pride and passion will be at a maximum on both sides.

    Oakdale vs Boland Landbou – 29/08/2015 @ 14h00: Oakdale Riversdale

    Our last match of the season features two agricultural rivals: Boland – Landbou and Oakdale. These two schools regularly produce teams of outstanding quality from a very small pool. Both are rarely out of the top 20 rankings and have produced numerous Craven Week players for their provinces. This Interschools tussle is often a tight affair with neither team traditionally having a clear upper hand. Last year Boland Landbou won at home, playing with shear guts and preying on every mistake. This year the Oakdale Bulls will again have a top team and at home they will be tricky to beat.
