\u2019n Jong rugbyspeler van Stellenbosch sou nooit gedink het dit sou sy laaste wedstryd wees toe hy Saterdag laat in die tweede helfte van sy klub se eerstespanwedstryd opdraf en \u2019n fratsongeluk sy lewe ge\u00ebis het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adrian Arrendse (25) is Sondagaand in Groote Schuur-hospitaal dood nadat hy Saterdagmiddag \u2019n kopbesering op die rugbyveld opgedoen het toe hy \u2019n teenstander geduik het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens bronne het hy n\u00e1 die duikslag net op die veld bly l\u00ea en nooit weer opgestaan nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy ma, Leeanne, s\u00ea dit was vir haar \u2019n groot skok toe sy \u2019n oproep kry dat Adrian in die hospitaal is. \u201cDit is steeds vir my onwerklik. Dit is my baba; hy was nog die oggend baie gelukkig toe hy hier weg is. Hy het \u2019n tweejarige seuntjie. Dat iets waarvoor hy baie lief was, sy lewe ge\u00ebis het, is hartseer,\u201d voeg sy by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leeanne s\u00ea as die jongste van haar vier kinders was hy \u2019n baie rustige en liefdevolle mens. \u201cHy het altyd gelag en sy susters geterg. Dit voel regtig vreemd dat hy nog nie huis toe gekom het nie. Ons mis hom vreeslik baie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anneline Houston, voorsitter van die Stellenbosch Coronation-rugbyklub, waar Adrian \u2019n lid was, s\u00ea die spelers en bestuur is hartseer en verstom oor wat gebeur het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAdrian was geliefd onder almal by die klub. Hy was altyd jolig en het die ouens se dag gemaak en altyd \u2019n glimlag gehad. Hy was \u2019n veelsydige agterlynspeler. Hy het Saterdag opgekom as \u2019n senter in die tweede helfte vir die eerste span, want hy het vir die tweede span begin. Ons kon hom oral op die agterlyn gebruik. Hy het vroe\u00ebr \u2019n drie in die tweede span gedruk,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Houston s\u00ea Adrian laat \u2019n groot leemte in die klub en lewe van baie mense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
