It’s been yet another exciting week of the Gauteng Development League (GDL) and likewise it was an entertaining feast of football across the Gauteng province as the one of the top football academies continue their race for the title.
Kaizer Chiefs vs Jomo Cosmos
On a Saturday afternoon, Jomo Cosmos travelled to the Naturena Village where they took on u19 Kaizer Chiefs. Back to winning ways, Kaizer Chiefs looked to extend their win after defeating Joburg City by 9-1 last weekend.
Kaizer Chiefs took an early lead which was the only goal for the match in the first 15 minutes of the game. A tactical game between the two sides, unfortunately Jomo Cosmos was on the losing side while the ‘Phefeni Glamour Boys’ took all three points at home.
Chiefs coming out on top by 1 goal to none.
TS Galaxy vs Prestige Football Development Academy
Right behind SuperSport United, u19 TS Galaxy looked to extend their win against Prestige Football Development Academy who are currently sitting in the mid-table of the GDL.
TS Galaxy won the game by 3-1 taking all three points on the road.
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Wits Junior
At home, Clapham High School, u19 Mamelodi Sundowns took control of the game in the early stages, keeping the ball on their feet. With Wits looking to gain momentum of the game, Sundowns were forced to knock the ball in their half, however that worked on their advantage as they started to punish their opponents on the counter attacks using their speedy wingers and brilliance of midfield play.
At half time, Wits Juniors were already trailing behind by 2 goals to nil. They didn’t manage to find the back of the net in the second half but still managed to secure a 2-0 victory.
SuperSport United vs Randburg AFC
SuperSport United who have not had a great start to the season as they would have liked due to injuries and missing several players played against the Randburg AFC, currently sitting on the 5th position on the log.

Die Hoërskool Fichardtpark kon hul merkwaardige rekord hierdie seisoen verdedig toe hulle Vrydag in hul laaste Wesgrow Sentrale Sportreeks bepaling vir hierdie kwartaal teen Voortrekker in Bloemfontein gespeel het.

Die Fichie Leeus maak dit dan 15 agtereenvolgende wedstryde sonder om te verloor hierdie seisoen, na hulle gemaklik met die besoekers uit Bethlehem kon afsien om ‘n 33-18 oorwinning in die sak te steek.
Dit was weer die Bloemfonteiners se sterspeler wat vroeg in die wedstryd al hul stempel afgedruk het.
Na ‘n vroeë strafdoel vir Tiaan van Rooyen, Voortrekker se losskakel, was dit die tuisspan wat al die druk toegepas het.
Dailen Geldenhuys (losskakel), Devanté Claassen (skrumskakel) en kaptein, Jaco Grobbelaar (slot) was op hul stukke, en dit was hul volgehoude druk wat gelei het na Fichardtpark se eerste drie binne die eerste sewe minute toe hul groot stut, Nathan Swanepoel, die bal langs die losgemaal kon oordra.
Claassen kon kort daarna ook aan sy eie rekord bou met nog ‘n drie. Hy is onstuitbaar rondom die losgemaal hierdie seisoen, en kon weer twee verdedigers saam met hom oor die doellyn dra.
Luhan du Plessis (haker) kon toe ook ‘n rolmaalbeweging afrond vir sy eerste drie, en ondanks ‘n geel kaart vir die tuisspan laat in die eerste helfte, was hulle redelik gemaklik in beheer van die wedstryd met 19-6 teen halftyd.
Du Plessis verbeter toe hul posisie met nog ‘n drie net na die breuk.
Die Trekkers het weereens goeie karakter gewys en geveg tot die einde. Met 20 minute oor in die wedstryd het hulle ‘n pragdrie gedruk, toe Alexander Maree (skrumskakel) ‘n beweging begin deur om die bal aan Craig Mann (senter) te gee, Mann vang toe die Fichie Leeus uit met ‘n uitstekende langaangee na die blitisige Kaneng Komane (vleuel) wie ‘n oop doellyn voor hom gehad het.
Die Fichie Leeus slaan toe egter terug met mening, en na ‘n lang periode van volgehoue druk, waar die Trekkers moes skarrel om hulle uit te hou, is dit toe die tuisspan se kaptein wat hul laaste drie druk. Hy het dit definitief verdien vir al sy harde werk op die dag.
Alberto Argentino (slot), wie ook heel dag uitgeblink het vir die besoekers, kry toe die laaste woord in vir die span van Bethlehem met ‘n drie aan die einde, maar dit was te min, te laat, en die Fichie Leeus sit hul merkwaardige seisoen voort met nog ‘n indrukwekkende sege.
Jim Fouché beleef self ‘n sterk rugby jaar. Hulle het goed gedoen om Saterdag vir Landboudal 27-12 te wen danksy drieë deur hul staatmaker spelers, wie week na week vir hulle uitstaan.
CJ Raath (flank), Calvin Bolt (no. 8), SW van der Merwe (slot), Altus du Plessis (vleuel), Triton van der Walt (skrumskakel) en hul kaptein en rots, Stefan Venter (haker) was almal op die telbord vir die Bloemfonteiners.
Sentraal se binnesenter, Reece van Rooyen, het sake in sy eie hande geneem teen HTS Louis Botha. ‘n Driekuns vir hom het hulle toegelaat om ‘n belangrike wen oor hul buurskool te kry.
Na Hoërskool Bloemfontein en Zastron verlede jaar op Zastron 19-elk sussies gesoen het, was dit Zastron wat hierdie jaar die oorhand gehad het in Bloemfontein. Hulle wen 39-17.

Paul Roos Gimnasium pulled off a famous victory at Brug Street on Saturday, when they beat Paarl Boys’ High at home for the first time in 20 years.
Watch the game again on SuperSport Schools – Register now
The home team came out swinging, scoring the first try within 40 seconds of the first kickoff.
JC Mars, their firecracker fullback who has just returned from injury was in on the action immediately, darting through a gap after his hooker, HB Odendaal, put him into space with an expertly timed short ball.
The visitors from Stellenbosch continued applying pressure though, and their two big props, Oliver Reid and Ryan Jack, both scored to give Paul Roos a 12-5 lead at halftime.
Having gotten through the fabled Boishaai defence twice in the first half already, and seemingly also winning the battle for physicality, Paul Roos had their tales up at the start of the second half.
Their livewire scrumhalf, Zeke January, scored almost a mirror image of the home team’s first try, also within 40 seconds from the kickoff.
The hosts managed to hit back with a try of their own through their workhorse flanker, Rubin Dames, but it was not enough to swing the momentum back in their favour.
Leejay Petersen (flyhalf), who has stood out already this season, knocked over three penalties, giving his side a 16-point lead and knocking the wind out of the home team.
The big grade 11 prop from Stellenbosch, Reid, scored his second to secure a win for Paul Roos against Paarl Boys’ High in Paarl, a feat that had not been achieved since 2003 when Juandré Kruger and his squad managed to get the better of Boishaai at home.
The home team managed a consolation try by none other than Mars, who was back to his best, looking like he had never missed a game. Their flyhalf, Ruan Von Willing, broke the line and got the ball to his fullback who was never going to be stopped in that much space.
They nearly managed to score another when Divan Fuller (flanker) charged down the line only to be stopped by the Paul Roos captain, Andreas Oosthuizen (flanker) with a huge tackle, exemplifying his heroic performance on the day.
Paul Roos is going from strength to strength this year, and this is, without a doubt, their strongest performance to date and the boys will remember this game for the rest of their lives.
None more so than Christian de Villiers (hooker) who stood out for the Maroon Machine, along with the rest of his forward pack whose work rate was simply unceasing.
The Paarl Boys’ team will have to take this one on the chin and move on, they’ve played some incredible rugby this year, with more games than most of their competitors so far this season, including a thriller last weekend in Wynberg where they ended up winning 33-29 in the last play of the game, but Paul Roos had their number this weekend.
Wynberg Boys’ High had to suffer last-minute heartbreak again this weekend when they left the door open for Rondebosch Boys’ High to steal the win after being ahead 16-8 with only five minutes left to play.
Two late tries by Ryan du Rand (no. 8) and Ethan Gordon (winger) saw the home team through, with Rondebosch winning 20-16 in front of an ecstatic home crowd.
They only scored their first points in the second half, when Juma Amissi (winger) intercepted a Wynberg pass brilliantly to get the hosts on the board after trailing 10-0 at the break.
Diocesan College also managed to add another impressive win to an already successful season, beating Stellenberg 22-7 on the Piley Rees.
It was a closely fought battle throughout the game, with very little separating the teams, before two quick tries in the last five minutes by Hassiem Pead (scrumhalf) and Lucca Mynhardt, who came off the bench, secured a statement victory for the Bishops boys.
Roscoe Julius (flyhalf) was phenomenal for Hottentots Holland Hoërskool against Parel Vallei, scoring 15 of their 20 points as they beat the home team by a single point, 20-19.
SACS could also rely on inspirational play by their captain, Ali Osman-Bosch (prop) who score a hat trick in their 28-10 victory over Hoërskool Bellville.
Charlie Hofmeyr pocketed two big wins this week, coming out on top in the Ceres derby against Ceres Secondary (24-5) on Wednesday before thrashing a visiting Hoërskool Stellenbosch (66-5) on Saturday.

Affies won away and clinched a two point win in the final minute of the match ensuring that they walked away victorious and escaping a loss to hosts Jeppe High School for Boys.
The hero of the day, eight man Dieter Schubert scored the crucial winning try.
Jeppe started off the match by bringing the heat and applying pressure in the first five minutes scoring a try through an overlap which saw winger Bokamoso Maphisa breaking through the defenses.
The black and white were brilliant in pressing the Wit Bulle during the maul throughout the match this was evident in the teams second try which was carried over the line from flanker Ruben van Rensburg. He ended the match with two tries next to his name after a fantastic try early in the second half.
Affies matched the Jeppe mauling power by scoring their second try after retaining possession within the five meter line after a strong scrum, which gave prop Ethan van Wyk an opportunity to score.
At halftime with the scoreline sitting at 19-14 to the Wit Bulle, Jeppe would have definitely felt that they were well within a chance of creating an upset.
Try of the day though came in the form of Jeppe fullback Khuthadza Rasivhaga, who made a beeline to the try line after breaking through the Affies defense and speeding past the opposition backline.
Migael de Lange, showed good composure ensuring that his final kick of the match went through the poles and making sure his team went back to Pretoria, with a win in the bag.
History repeated itself, with Jeppe losing in the final stages of the match in a similar fashion to the team that played in 2018. The coaching staff will look back on this result and think that it was well within their grasp.

PRETORIA. – Dit was ‘n opwindende wedstryd vir die toeskouers, maar vir die afrigters van Dr. EG Jansen en Waterkloof sou dit ‘n hele paar gryshare besorg het.
EG Jansen het vir Klofies met 31-26 geklop in ‘n kragmeting van twee helftes in die twee spanne se SDC Noordvaal Cup kragmeting in die Beker-afdeling.
Die Klofies het teen rustyd ‘n stewige voorsprong van 19-0 opgebou en boonop kort na rustyd die voorsprong tot 26-0 gerek met ‘n bonuspunt vir vier drieë reeds in die sakkie.
Drie geelkaarte waarvan een kort voor rustyd aan onderskeidelik Reuven Ferreira (binnesenter), Jean Jooste (flank) en Dylan Knoete (slot) deur die skeidsregter, Niel Bosman, het ook ‘n bydrae gehad om die momentum van die kragmeting in die guns van die Jansies te swaai.
Jansies se vleuel Cameron van Wyk was weer op sy stukke en is vir sy vertoning as Speler van die Wedstryd aangewys. Van Wyk het twee keer ‘n draai agter die doellyn gaan maak. Die plaasvervanger-vleuel, Matthew Bergman, het self met sy spel gehelp om die wedstryd in sy span se guns te beklink.
Voorlangs het Reon van Aswegen (flank) en Marnus Swarts (vaskopstut) blink vertonings vir die wenspan gelewer.
Klofies se hoofafrigter, Cobus van Dyk, sou waarskynlik al sy hare uit sy kop wou trek indien hy gehad het en sal vandag steeds wonder wat fout in die tweede helfte gegaan het. Hierdie nederlaag sou gewis Klofies se kanse om die uitspeelrondes te haal ‘n gevoelige knou toegedien het.
Die Klofies se loskopstut, Marnus Maritz, het ‘n uitstekende wedstryd beleef. Hy het met sy kraglopies sy span op die voorvoet gehou. Die span se flank Jooste asook die kaptein en agtsteman, Dale Arlow, het ook weer meer as hul kant gebring.
Helpmekaar-kollege was al op die veld toe die Hoërskool Nelspruit se Rhinos se gedagtes nog in die kleedkamer was. Helpies se regtervleuel, Delano Maritz, het na slegs sewe sekondes vanaf die afskop gaan druk om duidelik te weer te gee dat sy span daar was met ‘n doel.
Helpies het teen rustyd ‘n stewige voorsprong van 22-0 opgebou. Die Rhinos het in die tweede helfte terug geveg, maar dit was ongelukkig nie genoeg nie. Die tuisspan se haker, Regard Vermaak, asook die binnesenter, Heino Meiring, het moedig probeer.
Vir die Helpies was sy loskopstut, Boela de Wet, asook die slot Ulrich Swart uitstaande.
Garsfontein het ondanks heelwat skuiwe aan sy span weens beserings en siekte steeds nie veel probleme ondervind om vir Marais Viljoen van Alberton met 64-12 op Berepark in Pretoria kaf te draf nie. Die Bere het teen rustyd ‘n voorsprong van 26-7 geniet.
Die flank Luan Olivier moes op binnesenter begin en het sy vryheid in die middelveld met twee drieë gevier. Die span se drieëvraat Ruan Enslin (vleuel) het self twee keer gaan afrond. Buiten die twee het die skakelpaar, Zian Cilliers en Brooklyn Newman, ook goed vertoon.
Newman het weer op losskakel begin, terwyl die gereelde losskakel, Nicallen Gabrielsen, op die krukkelys is. Cilliers wat in Gabrielsen se afwesigheid die stelskopwerk hanteer het sewe van sy span se tien drieë verdoel.
Vir Marais Viljoen kan Jeandre Theron (binnesenter) en Dian Scheepers (slot) kan hul koppe vandag na hul vertonings omhoog hou.
Noordheuwel se JT Kapank was weer op sy stukke en het ‘n allemintige 28 punte met sy skopskoen in sy span se oorwinning van 73-12 oor Menlopark aangeteken. Kapank het vyf van sy span se nege drieë verdoel en ook met ses strafdoele geslaag.
Nories was teen rustyd met die telling op 38-5 reeds stewig in die saal. Die span se vleuel Keaton van Deventer het ‘n driekuns aan drieë voltooi, terwyl die gevaarlikse heelagter, Cheswill Jooste, self twee keer gaan druk het.

Outeniqua had a last chance to flex their muscles on their home field against their old rivals, Oakdale Landbou, before preparations begin to host the 2023 Craven Week during the holiday.
The Kwaggas defeated Oakdale by 25-14.
Watch the game again on SuperSport Schools – Register now
The home team are experiencing a dream season, they’ve only lost twice, against two of the strongest sides in the country, Grey College (19-17) and Garsfontein (19-8) and 15 Kwagga players have been selected to represent the SWD region at the Craven Week.
They managed to subdue the Oakdale attack throughout most of the game, letting only one try slip early on, and not conceding again until the very end of the game, by which time their victory had been secured.
The home team’s big loosehead, Ruan Swart, crossed the line twice and the other two tries also came from the forward pack, with Jeffwin Wesso (no. 8) and Dewald Gerber (flanker) scoring for Outeniqua.
They have been a team who has stood out for their exciting backline play this season, with players like Andrew Stopforth (flyhalf), Ashwin Damons (winger) and JJ Daters (winger) often spearheading the attack, seeing them switch up their point of attack to adjust for the conditions and their opponents show how professional this team is.
The SWD team will definitely be one to watch this year, judging by the quality of players on show in these two teams this weekend.
For the visitors, it was their goal-kicking no. 8, Erick Steyn, who stood out, but they will have to wait until next year for another chance to better their old rivals on the farm in Riversdale.
Strand achieved a big statement victory against Worcester Gimnasium.
Their centre pair, Gino Cupido and Geranzo Plaatjies managed three tries between them, and flyhalf, Tyron Nicholas‘ aim was steady to secure a one-point advantage over the Gimmies.
This is a great bounce back for the team from Strand after their disappointing loss to Brackenfell (26-18) last weekend, Worcester Gimnasium has been playing exceptional rugby this year, and they are a difficult team to overcome.
Worcester’s hooker and vice-captain, Armand Croeser, scored a hat trick for his side, but it was not enough to topple the home team.
Schoonspruit survived a late fightback by Piketberg in their FNB Classic Clash to win 14-13 in a countryside classic.
Kasselsvlei made use of their forwards in their attack, with their hooker, Ferlin Julies, and no. 8, Lorenzo Rodericks, scoring a brace each in their 25-13 victory over Scottsdene.
KRUGERSDORP. – Paul Roos Gimnasium het vir die eerste keer sedert 2003 daarin geslaag om die Hoër Jongenskool Paarl op sy tuisveld, die Brugstraat-stadion in die Paarl, om te dop.
Paul Roos het vir Boishaai met 35-17 afgestof om vir die eerste keer in twee dekades die soete smaak van ‘n sege in die Paarl te proe. Soos in 2003 was die sege ook te danke aan die span van Stellenbosch se skakelpaar.
Saterdag het Zeke January (skrumskakel) en Lee-Jay Petersen (losskakel) ‘n beduidende rol gespeel in die span se sukses. Twee dekades gelede was die skakelpaar van Allistair Siegelaar en Jody Rose aan die spits vir die Maroentruie.
Buiten Petersen se skopstewel en January wat die tuisspan om die losgemale besig gehou het, verdien die twee voorrymanne, Oliver Reid en Ryan Jack, ook lof vir hul blink vertonings.
Reid het self twee keer oor die doellyn gebars, terwyl Jack a la Finegan-Gregan met January gekombineer het vir sy drie. Petersen het 15 punte met sy skopskoen bygevoeg om seker te maak dat daar behoorlik fees gevier sal word in die Eikestad.
In die SDC Noordvaal Cup het Noordheuwel nie enige genade vir Menlopark betoon nie en oortuigend met 73-13 as oorwinnaars van die veld gestap.
Die Nories se losskakel, JT Kapank, het 28 punte tot die sege met sy skopskoen bygedra. Kapank het vyf van sy span se drieë verdoel asook ses strafdoele tussen deur die pale gejaag.
Die span se vleuel Keaton van Deventer het ook baljaar deur drie keer ‘n draai agter die doellyn te maak.
Garsfontein was ook in ‘n verwoestende bui al het die span heelwat staatmakers weens siekte en beserings langs die kantlyn gehad. Die Bere het vir Marais Viljoen met 64-12 ore aangesit.
Die Garsies se versoolde binnesenter, Luan Olivier, asook die vleuel Ruan Enslin het dubelle driedruk-plesier ervaar.
Helpmekaar-kollege het die Hoërskool Nelspruit met 39-12 in Mbombela verslaan. Helpies het teen rustyd reeds ‘n voorsprong van 22-0 geniet.
Die besoekers se regtervleuel, Delano Maritz, het die eerste drie van die kragmeting binne die eerste tien sekondes vanaf die afskop gedruk. Helpies se ander vleuel, Pieter Moller, asook die slot Ulrich Swart, het ook skitterende vertonings opgedis.
Grey-kollege se eerstespan stoom steeds voort na hy Monument se Wit Bulle met 31-10 op die Ras van Rooyen in Krugersdorp afgestof het. Dit was Grey se eerste kragmeting teen Monnas in die Wes-Rand sedert 1996.
Grey kon dus laas in 1995 vir Monnas op sy tuisveld wen toe hy met 27-20 baas was. Monnas het die kragmeting tussen die twee spanne in 1996 met 13-8 gewen.
Grey se lostrio JJ Theron (kaptein), Keegan Scholtz en Marno Stopforth was uitstaande. Stopforth het na die kant van die skrum vir die wedstryd vanaf slot geskuif na Jean-Henri Smit weens ‘n besering nie oorweeg kon word nie.
Grey se senterpaar, Pieter van der Merwe en Benito Goeda, het ook ‘n uitmuntende dag op kantoor beleef.
Outeniqua het soos verwag koning gekraai met 25-14 in sy jaarlikse interskole teen Oakdale Landbou. Die Kwaggas moes egter harder werk vir die sege as wat die telling aandui.
Die wenspan se voorryman, Ruan Swart, asook die flank Dewald Gerber was soos gewoonlik staatmakers. Agterlangs verdien die vleuel JJ Daters lof vir sy aanvallende spel.
Die Jade Brigade van Stellenberg sal nie baie gelukkig wees na hy met 7-22 die knie teen Bishops gebuig het nie. Met slegs twee minute oor op die skeidsregter se horlosie het die wenspan slegs ‘n voorsprong van 10-7 geniet.
Twee drieë deur Hassiem Pead (skrumskakel) en Lucca Mynhardt (plaasvervanger-vleuel) in die laaste twee minute het egter Stellenberg se harte gebreek.
Hendré Marnitz is vinnig besig om nie net met Maritzburg College se sukses op die veld nie, maar ook die manier hoe hulle speel meer vriende as vyande te maak.
Maritzburg College het vir St Charles College met 46-8 verslaan met albei sy vleuels, Colm Reardon en Langelihle Makhathini, wat drie keer ‘n draai agter die doellyn gegooi het.
Affies het in die doodsnikke van sy kragmeting teen Jeppe danksy ‘n drie deur sy agtsteman, Dieter Schubert, ‘n sege van 33-31 beklink.
