MONTAGU. \u2013 Montagu Villagers kon die tweede agtereenvolgende Saterdag nie \u2019n voorsprong in \u2019n oorwinning omskep nie. Eweneens kon hy ook die tweede keer agtereenvolgens nie \u2019n enkele punt n\u00e1 rustyd aanteken nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die afgelope Saterdag, 28 Mei, was dit dieselfde storie op die King Edward-sportterrein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met tuisveldvoordeel hierdie keer as bondgenoot, was die rooi-en-wit truie vroeg in sy Grootuitdaagbekerwedstryd teen Robertson Town \u2019n stewige 13-0 voor. Toe rustyd aanbreek, was die tuisspan, ondanks \u2019n onverdoelde drie deur Robertson, steeds voor \u2013 \u2019n netjies 16-5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar t\u00f3g, toe Andrew Jota, die skeidsregter van die Overbergstreek, die eindfluitjie blaas, was dit die besoekers wat triomfantelik as wenner van die veld afgestap het nadat die tuisspan w\u00e9\u00e9r nie punte in die tweede helfte kon aanteken nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie onvermo\u00eb van die span om nie te kan voortbou op \u2019n goeie begin nie, asook sy tekort aan punte n\u00e1 die omdraaislag, behoort \u2019n groot bron van kommer vir die afrigtingspan te wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nietemin het die tuisspan se heelagter, Handr\u00e9 Ontong, sy span vroeg in die wedstryd met \u2019n suksesvolle strafdoel op die voorvoet geplaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sowat \u2019n kwartier later het McMillan Muller, kaptein en haker van die tuisspan, sy span se eerste drie in die linkerhoek n\u00e1 slim spel, van \u2019n lynstaan in die besoekers se 22-metergebied, gedruk. Ontong se doelskop was egter regs verby (telling 8-0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierna het die besoekers \u2019n paar minute in die tuisspan se kwartgebied deurgebring, waartydens hy die doellyn aanhoudend aangeval het. Die tuisspan het egter daarin om die blou-en-wit streeptruie uit sy doelgebied te hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die telling word 13-0 toe die spel weer tot in die besoekers se kwartgebied gevorder en Bradley Jumaat (loskopstut) in die linkerhoek oorgeval het vir die span se tweede drie, wat ongelukkig nie deur Sylvester Moses (skrumskakel) verdoel kon word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na hierdie drie van die tuisspan het die besoekers met \u2019n verwoede aanslag vorendag gekom, waarin die voor- en agterspelers die bal hanteer het terwyl hulle eers regs en toe links oor die veld gespeel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Hanteerfout met die verspreiding van die bal het egter die geleentheid vir punte vir die besoekers ongedaan gemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tuisspan, steeds onder druk, het \u2019n oortreding reg voor sy doelpale begaan, maar die besoekers het verkies om te skrum pleks van pale toe te skop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie besluit blyk die regte een te gewees het toe sy regtervleuel, Jamille Afrika, in die regterhoek oorgeduik het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collin Willemse, losskakel, se doelskop was ongelukkig mis (telling 13-5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robertson is kort voor rustyd vir \u2019n hoogvat gestraf en Moses het die bal tussen die pale deur geskop om die rustydtelling op 16-5 te staan te bring, met Villagers 11 punte voor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar dis ook min of meer die tyd toe die tuisspan se puntekraantjie styf toegedraai en di\u00e9 van die besoekers s\u2019n wawyd oopgedraai is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Begeesterde Robertson-span het n\u00e1 rustyd op die veld verskyn. Nadat spel hervat is, het die besoekers deurgaans gepoog om die ritme van die spel te versnel met tikskoppies wanneer die geleentheid hom voorgedoen het. Boonop het Willemse die tuisspan met goedgeplaaste skoppe in sy eie halfgebied vasgepen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tuisspan het hom uit die moeilikheid probeer hardloop, maar telkens teen goeie verdediging vasgeloop en al meer foute onder druk gemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So byvoorbeeld is \u2019n lynstaanbal skeef ingegooi. By \u2019n ander geleentheid is \u2019n vryskop aan die besoekers toegeken \u2013 skynbaar omdat die tuisspan te lank getalm het om die bal by die lynstaan in te gooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n blaps deur die tuisspan was toe die besoekers \u2019n bal veld-op geskop en die tuisspan se plaasvervanger-heelagter die bal onder druk oor sy eie doellyn gedra en doodgedruk het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En op \u2019n ander keer is die tuisspan naby sy doellyn selfs deur die besoekers van sy eie bal af geskrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie doelgerigte spel van die Robertsonners en talle foute van die tuisspan, het gelei tot drie drie\u00eb vir die besoekers in die tweede helfte. Die driedrukkers was Michaine Fick, Run\u00e9 Lucas en Leronzo Baardman. Willemse het twee van die drie\u00eb verdoel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierteenoor het die tuisspan punteloos in die tweede skof gebly, wat aan die einde van die dag \u2019n welverdiende sege van 24-16 aan die besoekers besorg het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die feit dat die tuisspan albei sy erkende stelskoppers \u2013 Ontong en Moses \u2013 weens beserings verloor het, kan in \u2019n mate seker as versagting vir sy punte droogte in die tweede helfte aangevoer word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoe dit ook al sy, het Montagu Villagers nou drie nederlae op sy kerfstok met slegs twee oorwinnings uit vyf ligawedstryde wat hy tot dusver gespeel het. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
