BLOEMFONTEIN –<\/strong> ‘n Oud-Bloemfonteiner wat slegs 11 jaar oud is, was een van die spelers wat sterk mededinging bied op vanjaar se nasionale junior rolbaltoernooi wat deur Rolbal Suid-Afrika (Rolbal SA) aangebied word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parker Perry (11), spanmaat MJ Castelyn van Gauteng-noord en hul span was vroeg-vroeg al gunstelinge in die o.15-afdeling deur groot tellings teen hul teenstanders aan te teken.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die toernooi, wat jong rolbalspelers van oor Suid-Afrika heen na Bloemfontein gebring het, het op Sondag 29 Maart begin, die eindstryde is op Woensdag 1 April beslis.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die o.15- en o.18-spelers het op die Orangia-rolbalklub<\/a> se drie bane meegeding, terwyl die o.25-spelers dit by Oud-studente om die titel uitgespook het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanjaar het altesaam 268 spelers deelgeneem, met onder meer drie spanne van Botswana. Dit is vanjaar die 13de keer dat die toernooi in Bloemfontein aangebied word en Rolbal SA se 30ste junior toernooi.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dit was ‘n groot plesier om die toernooi in Bloemfontein aan te bied,” s\u00ea Sanet Kritzinger, die sameroeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea dit is veral korporatiewe sake-ligas wat deur klubs oor die land heen aangebied word wat kinders van di\u00e9 sportsoort bewus maak.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marius Janse van Vuuren, afrigter van die Suid-Vrystaatse spanne, s\u00ea rolbal is baie soos “skaak op gras”. Dit help kinders om te beplan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy wil later vanjaar ‘n skole-toernooi in die Vrystaat aanbied en s\u00ea reeds vyf skole in die provinsie bied rolbal aan.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
