GROEPWEDSTRYDE

UITSPEELWEDSTRYDE

Van die land se voorste o.15-rugbyspelers sal Saterdag op Paarl Gimnasium se velde in die Marius Schoeman Sewes-toernooi in aksie wees. Spanne van die tradisionele rugbykragte op skolevlak van regoor Suid-Afrika soos Grey-kollege van Bloemfontein, Glenwood van Durban, Paarl Boishaai, Stellenberg, Boland Landbou, HTS Drostdy en Outeniqua sal almal saam met die gasheer aan die o.15-afdeling van die toernooi deelneem.

Die voormalige Blitsbok, Schoeman, wat aan stuur van SA Rugby se Sewesakademie staan is ‘n oud-leerling van Paarl Gimnasium.

Wie gaan Vrydag met die eerste titel as kampioen van die Marius Schoeman Sewes-toernooi vir o.12-spanne by Paarl Gimnasium wegstap?

Nories het die sesde been van die reeks wat deur hom aangebied is gewen na hy Kempton Park met 19-5 in die eindstryd verslaan het. Slegs agt spanne het aan die toernooi deelgeneem. Al die wedstryde is deur Fanstream.co.za gebeeldsend.

Dit was sonder twyfel die twee beste spanne wat mekaar in die eindstryd van die toernooi ontmoet het. Noordheuwel het sy plek in die eindstryd met ‘n klinkende sege van 38-0 oor Pretoria Boys’ High bespreek.

Kempton Park wat alle teenstand voor hom in Groep B weggevee het, het in die halfeindronde vir Piet Potgieter met 36-5 kaf gedraf.
Nories het in sy drie groepwedstryde vir Piet Potgieter (29-12), Die Anker (29-5) en Brandwag van Benoni (40-10) die loef afgesteek.

Kempies was oor Pretoria Boys’ High (17-5), Krugersdorp High (34-5) en Hugenote van Springs (26-19) baas.

Die Anker van Brakpan het die vorige week by Pionier in Vryheid tydens die vyfde been van die reeks in die eindstryd teen Glenwood (43-0) sy rieme styfgeloop.

The first Champion of Champions tournament of the High Schools 7’s Series will be held at Camp Discovery just north of Pretoria on 20 and 21 October. This tournament promises to be the highlight of the series as the South African Schools champion will be crowned.

Five schools already qualified for the Champion of Champions tournament. They are Goudveld-Hoërskool of Welkom, Louis Botha of Bloemfontein, Hoërskool Rustenburg, Durban High School and Glenwood of Durban.

The sixth leg of the series will be hosted by Noordheuwel in Krugersdorp this Saturday. There are still six spots available during the six remaining legs of the High Schools 7’s Series. The rest of the teams to complete the 16 team Champion of Champions tournament will be wild card entries.

The series is organised by well-known sevens promotor Darryl Weir. In addition Camp Discovery will host and u13 and u15 tournament alongside the main event. The champions of the u15 tournament’s during the High Schools 7’s Series will also receive automatic invites.

“We at Camp Discovery are very excited to be associated with the return of the “Champion of Champions” 7’s tournament for High Schools in South Africa,” said Wouter van Deventer, chairman of Camp Discovery.

Camp Discovery has been involved with youth recreation and development programmes and quality sporting tournaments for the past 11 years. “We are convinced that it is appropriate to be involved with sevens rugby because of it being one of the fastest growing sports in the world, which is clearly reflected in having recently earned Olympic status.

“We would like to combine our unique and top-class facilities with the prestige of the Champions tournament, by adding value to what we know will be a unique 7’s experience, that both players and spectators will enjoy and remember,” said Van Deventer.

All the tournaments of the series are live streamed by Fanstream.co.za. Players are also identified by Travel and Sport during the series to be included in teams who will participate at the Dubai Sevens.

The High Schools 7’s Series:

Glenwood of Durban came back with a bang in the fifth leg of the High Schools’ 7’s Series which took place at Pionier in Vryheid. Glenwood was crowned champions on Saturday after beating Die Anker from Brakpan handsomely by 43-0 in the final.

Glenwood narrowly missed out on the title of the third leg of the series as well as a place in the prestigious Champion of Champions tournament which will be held at Camp Discovery just north of Pretoria on 20 and 21 October. Glenwood hosted the fourth leg in Durban, but lost in the final to arch-rivals Durban High School (17-14).

Glenwood was in a league of their own as they cruised past Pionier II (59-0), Vryheid (45-0) and Rustenburg (27-0) in their three pool matches without conceding a single point. The only side who managed to score any points against this outfit of Glenwood was Westville Boys’ High in the semi-final. Glenwood won the match by 26-12.

Die Anker booked their place in the final by beating Pionier by 7-5 in a tightly contested match.

Durban High School had to settle for the Bowl as they defeated Vryheid by 31-19 in the final. Rustenburg who was crowned champions of the fourth leg the previous week was knocked out in the quarterfinal by Westville Boys’ High (17-12).

The series will move to Krugersdorp next with Noordheuwel hosting the sixth leg this Saturday. All the games will be live streamed on Fanstream.co.za.

It was close, but Oakdale Landbou have the bragging rights as being the top rugby playing agricultural school in South Africa after beating Boland Landbou by 14-12 in a tightly contested Premier Interschools clash just outside Riversdale.

The hosts did just enough in the first half to secure a 14-12 victory over Boland Landbou to finish the season on ‘n high note. Oakdale Landbou led 14-3 at the break thanks to tries by captain and inside centre, Jay-Cee Nel, and prop Dian Bleuler. Both was converted by Nel.

The victory for Oakdale also insured that the trend of the home side coming out on top continued. The last side who managed to secure a victory away from home in the Premier Interschools was Oakdale back in 2010 with a score line of 3-0.

Boland Landbou had a lot of opportunities during the match, but somehow could not manage

As expected in a clash between the burly farmers it was a physical encounter. The teams were trading punches in the opening stages of the match without looking to land the knockout punch.

The scoring was opened in the 19th minute by Boland Landbou’s scrumhalf, Gavin Mills, who slotted the first of his four penalty goals. Mills (17th) and Nel (3rd) had shots at goal earlier in the clash, but missed.

It was not long afterwards that Nel took a flat pass from a scrum by scrumhalf, Lian du Toit, in a pre-planned move which caught the visitors on the wrong foot. Nel dived over with almost no-one getting a hand on him. Nel and flyhalf, Clyde Lewis, did a switch and this together with the accuracy and timing of the flat pass caught Boland Landbou’s defence off guard.

Du Toit also made the scoring pass to prop Dian Bleuler. This try came shortly after Nel’s and was set-up by a tap-and-go penalty from which Du Toit gave the inside pass to Bleuler from a resulting ruck. Nel converted to bring the score to 14-3 in his side’s favour, which was also the score at the break.

In the second half, all the points were scored via the boot of Mills who slotted three penalties to bring his side within touching distance at 14-12. Mills’ last successful penalty came in the 60th minute, which gave his side ten minutes to grab the victory from Oakdale.

Mills however was not on the field when his side was awarded a kickable penalty with time already up on the clock. Flyhalf, Darren Hendricks, stepped up, but missed. The final whistle went and Oakdale walked off as victors with 14-12.

Scorers:

Oakdale Landbou 14 (14) – Tries: Jay-Cee Nel, Dian Bleuler. Conversions: Nel (2). Boland Landbou 12 (3) – Penalties: Gavin Mills (4).
