ROBERTSON \u2013 Die Citrusdal-rugbyspan het Saterdag (22 Oktober) die Van Zylstraat-sportterrein soos \u2019n stormsterkte wind getref en byna die Robertson Rangers-span van die veld tot in die Bre\u00ebrivier gewaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 twee spanne was in \u2019n baie opwindende en spannende groep B-Grootuitdaag-Top-12-uitspeelwedstryd slaags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die uitslag was tot aan die einde in die weegskaal, maar die wedstryd sal veral onthou word vir Rangers se terugvegpoging nadat hy twee keer in die wedstryd ver agter was \u2013 19-0 en 36-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citrusdal het sy voorneme van die afskop af baie duidelik gemaak. Hy wou die spel so vinnig as moontlik maak, die bal wyd speel en Rangers op di\u00e9 manier uitoorl\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En hy het dit in \u2019n groot mate \u2013 veral in die eerste helfte \u2013 reggekry. Hy het Rangers aan flarde gehardloop en n\u00e1 \u2019n blitskrieg van drie drie\u00eb binne sowat tien minute ewe skielik 19-0 voorgeloop nadat een doelskop nie die kol getref het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ondersteuners het in ongeloof toegekyk hoe hul liefling-span uitmekaar gehardloop word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat die blou truie die derde keer agter hul doelpale kringetjie gevorm en probeer uitwerk het hoe hulle die geweldige aanslae van die lemoen truie kon stuit, het die momentum vir \u2019n wyle na die tuisspan geswaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rangers het begin rug styfmaak en met twee drie\u00eb teruggeslaan om die telling na \u2019n meer skaflike 19-12 te bring, nadat een doelskop ongelukkig mis was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar net toe dit wou lyk of die stormwind van die Cederberge af uitgewoed was, het dit skielik weer stof opgeskop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe die toeskouers weer hul o\u00eb uitvee, het die telbord op 36-12 gestaan nadat Citrusdal in \u2019n kort rukkie weer drie keer agter Rangers se doellyn gaan kuier het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 hul soveelste gedwonge vergadering agter hul doelpale het Siva Padiachy, die kaptein, en sy spelers met mening begin terugbaklei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die aanbreek van rustyd was die telling 36-22 nadat Rangers met twee onverdoelde drie\u00eb teruggeslaan het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat die spanne \u2019n welkome blaaskans geniet het, het Rangers met meer dringendheid gespeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kort n\u00e1 die hervatting van die spel het sy losskakel, Dawie Conradie, met \u2019n skepdoel geslaag en sowat vyf minute later het Rangers \u2019n verdoelde drie aangeteken, wat die telling 36-32 gemaak het en hom binne die bereik van \u2019n oorwinning geplaas het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Terwyl Rangers homself in die tweede helfte reggeruk en stadig maar seker terugbaklei het, het dinge vir Citrusdal begin skeefloop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nie net het hy sy nr. 6-flank weens ontoelaatbare spel vir tien minute verloor nie, maar ook \u2013 in \u2019n poging om die gaping tussen hom en Rangers te vergroot \u2013 met twee strafdoelpogings pale toe misluk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citrusdal se duurste fout van die middag was egter toe hy, met speeltyd reeds verstreke, \u2019n lynskop (van \u2019n strafskop) nie uitgeskop het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rangers het die bal gevang en in \u2019n laaste desperate poging om \u2019n oorwinning te bewerkstellig, \u2019n aanval begin, wat tot groot vreugde van die ondersteuners en spelers op \u2019n drie in die linkerhoekie uitgeloop het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die doelskop was tussen die pale deur en Rangers het sy eerste Top-12-uitspeelwedstryd in die doodsnikke met \u2019n hardverdiende 39-36 gewen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel hierdie wedstryd Rangers se tekortkominge ontbloot het, het dit ook die span se karakter en durf gewys. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
