MONTAGU \u2013 Dit is Saterdag 18 Junie \u2013 \u2019n koue, nat bewolkte middag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die King Edward-sportterrein is stampvol gepak; die toeskouers in dik winterklere toegewikkel om die snerpende koue uit te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die pawiljoen en terrein om die veld is in blou, wit en rooi getooi \u2013 die tradisionele kleure van die Montagu-rugbyklub, die gasheer, en Montagu Villagers, sy buurman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om ongeveer 16:07 kom die spanne onder groot toejuiging van hul ondersteuners uitgedraf. Villagers vorm aan die een kant van die veld \u2019n kringetjie en kniel op die gras met gebo\u00eb hoofde, terwyl Montagu se spelers in groepies van twee, drie en meer dieselfde ritueel uitvoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jabian Jephta, die skeidsregter van Worcester, lig sy linkerhand en blaas hard op sy fluitjie om die veelbesproke derbywedstryd aan die gang te sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Montagu skop af en die Grootuitdaagbekerwedstryd neem \u2019n aanvang. Villagers vang die bal, maak dadelik kragdadig kontak, en so begin die langverwagte derbywedstryd op \u2019n baie fisieke noot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wedstryd is skaars vyf minute oud toe Villagers geleentheid kry om punte aan te teken nadat Montagu vir onkantspel gestraf is. Die strafskop pale toe is egter links verby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na sowat tien minute se spel is dit Montagu wat die telbord aan die gang sit en voorloop met 7-0 n\u00e1 \u2019n verdoelde drie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Paar minute later slaag Villagers met \u2019n strafdoel toe Montagu vir \u2019n skrumoortreding gestraf word n\u00e1 \u2019n sterk skrum deur die wit-en-rooi-agttal. Die telling word 7-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Punte word om die beurt aangeteken. Eers gaan druk Villagers \u2019n verdoelde drie om die voortou met 10-7 te neem, maar kort daarna antwoord Montagu met \u2019n suksesvolle strafdoel om sake weer 10-10 gelyk te maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spel word vir \u2019n ruk lank heen en weer verplaas tot Montagu weer die neus voor kry met \u2019n drie \u2013 telling 15-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minute later is dit Villagers wat ook met \u2019n onverdoelde drie terugslaan en die telling weer gelyk maak met 15-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Net voor rustyd rek Montagu sy voorsprong verder met \u2019n verdoelde drie n\u00e1 \u2019n pragtige aanval waartydens die spelers die bal lekker lug gee. Die telling word 22-15 \u2013 die rustydtelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir \u2019n kort rukkie n\u00e1 rustyd lyk dit of Montagu beheer van die wedstryd gaan neem toe hy die telling met nog \u2019n verdoelde drie tot 29-15 laat rek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Villagers laat egter nie toe dat Montagu met die wedstryd weghol nie en kap terug met \u2019n drie om homself in die prentjie te hou. Die telling word 29-20, met Montagu steeds voor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kort hierna verspeel Villagers weer \u2019n kans om punte aan te teken met \u2019n mislukte strafdoel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minute later begin sake gunstiger lyk vir Villagers toe hy Montagu se doellyn weer oorsteek vir \u2019n verdoelde drie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die telling nou 29-27 besef die blou-en-wit truie Villagers is besig om hulle in te haal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarom, toe Villagers kort hierna in sy eie kwartgebied gestraf word, besluit Montagu sonder huiwering om pale toe te skop en sy voorsprong te vergroot. N\u00e1 die suksesvolle strafdoel skuif die telling aan na 32-27, \u2019n buffer van slegs vyf punte vir Montagu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die uurglas was byna leeg toe Villagers n\u00e1 \u2019n verdoelde drie en onder groot toejuiging van sy ondersteuners die voortou vir die tweede keer in die wedstryd neem met die telling 34-32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En toe gebeur dit. Montagu kom met \u2019n verwoede aanslag, maar word gestuit. Die bal word teruggespeel na sy heelagter, Cleve Malgas. Di\u00e9 trap vas en jaag die wenpunte met \u2019n vinnige skepskop tussen die pale deur om sy span \u2019n welverdiende oorwinning van 35-34 te besorg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir Montagu het Ryan George, sy woelwater-skrumskakel, uithalerspel gelewer. Cleve Malgas (heelagter) en Tain-Randall Booysen (agsteman) het ook \u2019n goeie wedstryd gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aan Villagers se kant het Lincoln Pasquallie, Bradley Ruiters (slotte), McMillan Muller (haker en kaptein), Ulfred Terblanch\u00e9 (agsteman) en Adriaan Klaasen (binnesenter) groot bresse geslaan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
