Excelsior-rugbyklub het die afgelope Saterdag (2 September) op hul tuisveld die span van Temperance-rugbyklub in gietende re\u00ebn met 34-7 verslaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die eendeweer het Excelsior soos \u2019n handskoen gepas en die tuisspan het binne vyf minute met \u2019n strafskop deur die losskakel, Morgan Wentzel, die voortou geneem (3-0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 mooi ondersteunde spel tussen voor- en agterspelers duik Excelsior se regtervleuel oor in die hoek. Die doelskop was mis (8-0). Temperance antwoord dadelik met \u2019n verdoelde drie in Excelsior se guns bring (8-7). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skaars \u2019n minuut later druk Wentzel weer onder die pale en verdoel sy eie drie, met die telling 15-7 vir Excelsior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harde woorde deur die afrigters moes gedurende lemoentyd op die regte ore geval het, want Wentzel het n\u00e1 halftyd weer gaan druk nadat byna die hele span die bal hanteer het. Melrique Hendricks slaag met die doelskop (22-7). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die lenige oopkantflank, Geraldo Willemse, gaan druk kort daarna in die hoek (27-7), gevolg deur \u2019n drie deur die woelwater-skrumskakel, Ethan du Toit, vir sy span se bonuspunt n\u00e1 \u2019n vinnige tikskoppie. Wentzel slaag met sy doelskop en bring die telling op na 34-7 vir die tuisspan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
