\u2019n Dowe krieketspeler (19) van Pinehurst in Durbanville, wat vanjaar ook vereer is as die Westelike Provinsie se Dowe Speler van die Jaar, is vir die SA Dowekrieket-span gekies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruan du Plessis, wat sedert September vir die Goodwood-krieketklub in die nuwe krieketseisoen speel, is die jongste speler n\u00f3g wat di\u00e9 eer te beurt val.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is ook die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar dat hy die uitsonderlike prestasie behaal om as die WP se Dowe Speler van die Jaar aangewys te word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het die toekenning in September by die WP-Krieketunie se jaarlikse toekenningseremonie by die Nuweland-stadion ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruan, wat 64%-gehoorverlies in albei ore het, het sy kriekettande by die Durbanville-krieketklub geslyp. Hy het junior klubkrieket op agtjarige ouderdom begin speel, en senior klubkrieket sedert hy 15 jaar oud was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook by die klub se mees onlangse prysuitdeling die trofee ontvang vir die beste bouler vir die 2021-2022-krieketseisoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was net 15 jaar oud toe hy vir die WP se o.19-Learners with Special Educational Needs (LSEN)-skolespan gekies is. By die nasionale o.19-LSEN-kriekettoernooi in Potchefstroom is hy as beste bouler en beste kolwer vereer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was ook net 15 jaar oud toe hy vir die WP Dowekrieket-span gekies is. Hy was 16 toe hy as die jongste speler ooit aan die nasionale toernooi in Pietermaritzburg gaan deelneem het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruan is ook vandat hy 16 jaar oud is die onderkaptein van di\u00e9 span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruan het vanjaar die vyfde plek behaal vir die waardevolste speler uit 90 spelers van al ses provinsies by SA Dowekrieket se interprovinsiale toernooi, wat in April in Kroonstad plaasgevind het. Hy het ook \u2019n trofee vir die beste speler van een van die uitspeelwedstryde ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die SA Dowekrieket-span is tydens die toernooi gekies en by die toekenningseremonie aangekondig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die span het van 1 tot 9 Oktober in Dubai aan die Deaf International Cricket Council (DICC) se kampioentrofee-toernooi deelgeneem. Die SA span het uitstekend gevaar en as naaswenner ge\u00ebindig nadat hy in die eindstryd deur Indi\u00eb verslaan is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruan was beide die openingsbouler en -kolwer in die laaste uitspeelronde, asook die halfeindstryd en eindstryd. Hy het ook die meeste lopies met die kolf vir Suid-Afrika in die eindstryd aangeteken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruan, wat by geboorte as doof gediagnoseer is, was \u2019n leerder aan die Carel du Toitskool vir dowes by die Tygerberg-hospitaal vandat hy slegs drie maande oud was tot en met preprim\u00eare skool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was daarna van gr. 1 tot 5 in die Laerskool Eversdal, en daarna van gr. 6 in die Jan Krielskool in Kuilsrivier, waar hy in Desember 2021 met universiteitstoelating gematrikuleer het. Hy is by sy skool in gr. 11 \u00e9n 12 as die skool se Krieketspeler van die Jaar aangewys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy wil hom aanstaande jaar as elektrisi\u00ebn aan die Northlink College bekwaam en later sy eie besigheid begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy ouers, Paul en Zelda du Plessis, en suster, Melindi (21), is sy trotsste ondersteuners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk mis nie \u2019n wedstryd nie,\u201d s\u00ea sy pa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
