Die Excelsior-rugbyklub het Saterdag in sy laaste wedstryd vanjaar teen Fisantekraal gestruikel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tuisspan, Fisantekraal, het soos \u2019n koe\u00ebl uit \u2019n geweer begin en Excelsior moes keer vir al wat hy werd was. Excelsior se talentvolle Morgan Wentzel het geslaag met \u2019n strafskop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tuisspan het hierna vinnig drie verdoelde drie\u00eb ingeryg en die losskakel het ook met \u2019n strafskop geslaag oor om telling 22-3 te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die afrigter se harde woorde tydens lemoentyd het vrugte afgewerp en Fisante\u00adkraal is met \u2019n slap riem gevang toe Excelsior sy eerstekeusespelers opgestuur het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Excelsior se senter, Marlin Present, het kort n\u00e1 halftyd onder die pale oorgeduik, wat Wentzel verdoel (22-10) het. Minute later het die vlugvoetige losskakel Laythom Small ook onder die pale gaan druk en Wentzel het weer verdoel (22-17). Dissipline het Fisantekraal in die steek gelaat en Wentzel het langs die pale oorgeduik en sy eie drie verdoel om Excelsior te laat voorloop (24-22). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skeidsregter maak daarna \u2019n fout deur Excelsior te straf, maar laat Fisantekraal toe om twee keer vinnige tikskoppies te maak wat Fisantekraal \u2019n verdoelde drie op \u2019n skinkbord gee, met die eindtelling 29-22 vir Fisantekraal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
