Maceala Samboya (24) het die afgelope naweek haar eerste rugbywedstryd teen die Bulle se Daisies gespeel \u2013 d\u00edt nadat sy di\u00e9 sport eers in Februarie vroe\u00ebr vanjaar begin speel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samboya, \u2019n oudleerder van Schoonspruit Sekond\u00ear, was van \u2019n jong ouderdom lief vir sport en het ook daarin presteer. Rugby was egter nooit op haar horison nie \u2013 tot nou. Sy het nog altyd van die spel gehou, maar nooit gespeel nie \u2013 totdat sy vroe\u00ebr vanjaar besluit het om haar by Wesbank se vroue-7\u2019s-span, die Wesbank Daisies aan te sluit. Dit was nie lank daarna nie toe Thomas Chowles, die hoofafrigter van die Boland se vroue-7\u2019s-span, die Boland Dames, haar talent gedurende \u2019n sewestoernooi raakgesien het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar sportgees het op laerskool by Liebenberg Prim\u00ear vlamgevat toe sy op die atletiekbaan begin uitblink het. Samboya het gedurende haar ho\u00ebrskooljare ook netbal gespeel. Sy het egter nooit gedink sy sou so vinnig in rugby van alle sportsoorte vorder nie. \u201cMy pa en my broer het rugby gespeel en ons het ook altyd rugby gekyk,\u201d het Samboya geantwoord oor waar sy dink haar liefde vir die spel vandaan kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het nog altyd verkies om saam met die seuns aan sport deel te neem, omdat die uitdaging groter was,\u201d bieg Samboya, wat tans \u2019n netbal- en vlugbalafrigter by die Swartland-sportsentrum, Score, is. \u201cEk dink nie die uitdaging was genoeg vir my nie. Daarom het ek vroe\u00ebr vanjaar besluit om rugby te begin speel,\u201d brei sy uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is onlangs vir die Springbok-vroue-7\u2019s-span se oefenkamp gekies, waartydens Samboya gesien het waaroor die sport werklik gaan. \u201cEk het in die oefenkamp gesien hoe \u2019n speler op daardie vlak speel en besef ek sal baie harder moet werk,\u201d vertel sy. Dit was ook juis by die oefenkamp waartydens die hoofafrigter van die Springbok-vroue-rugbyspan se 15-tal, Louis Koen, haar vernuf op die veld waargeneem het. Sy is verlede week saam met twee ander spelers uitgenooi om die 15-tal-oefenkamp in Stellenbosch by te woon, wat van 29 tot 31 Julie plaasgevind het. Dit is hier waar sy teen die Bulle, wat tans heel boaan die punteleer is, te staan gekom het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk ken nog nie alles van die sport nie en het baie om te leer,\u201d erken Samboya. Volgens haar is sy egter nog nie een oomblik spyt dat sy besluit het om \u2019n rugbybal te begin speel nie. \u201cEk geniet dit baie en sien uit na die pad vorentoe,\u201d voeg sy by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
