DIE trotse Transell-tradisie leef steeds voort op Kariega.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eugene (48), seun van die oud-OP-skrumskakel Tiekie Transell, is nou die familie se fakkeldraer. Hy s\u00ea weens sy pa se bekendheid word hy ook Tiekie genoem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By behaal tans groot sukses as afrigter van die Laerskool Innes se o.13-span, terwyl hy ook welslae behaal by die Ho\u00ebrskool Brandwag se o.14 B-span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eugene, wat op sy dag self \u2019n bedrewe skrumskakel was, s\u00ea hy geniet dit ongelooflik baie om die jong spelers touwys te maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis verskriklik lekker. Rugby is mos maar in ons bloed. Dis my lewe. Ek kan omtrent nooit wag om by die veld uit te kom nie. Elke dag is \u2019n ander ervaring en belewenis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm die jong spelers te sien ontwikkel is uiters bevredigend. Dit maak weer die adrenalien in my wakker,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Transells het oor die jare sinoniem geword met OP-sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oupa Vicky was \u2019n uithaler-losskakel vir OP, terwyl Tiekie een van die ongelukkigste spelers was wat nooit \u2019n Springbok geword het nie. Hy was een van die land se beste skrumskakels van sy era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eugene se ooms, wyle Dennis, Vicky en Avril het almal die OP op die bofbalveld verteenwoordig. Avril was uiters ongelukkig om in 1989 nie die Springbok-bofbalspan na Taiwan te haal nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy neef, Nantie Hayward, was \u2019n skitterende Protea-snelbouler wat die w\u00eareld se beste kolwers met sy kartetse laat bontstaan het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die sportbloed loop dus dik in die familie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eugene se seun, Ethan, het vir die OP se o.12-span haker gespeel, maar is later flank toe verskuif. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Innes se o.13-span het vanjaar 11 wedstryde gespeel. Vyf wedstryde is gewen en vyf verloor, terwyl een gelykop ge\u00ebindig het. Innes se oorwinnings was teen La Trobe, Winterberg, Bonzai, Kirkwood en Gamtoosvallei, terwyl hulle teen Frans Conradie, Kirkwood, Muir College, Albertyn en Susannah Fourie vasgeval het. Die wedstryd teen Sonop het gelykop ge\u00ebindig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bathu Adams (vaskopstut) en die veelsydige Jayden Gardner (skrumskakel, losskakel of binnesenter) het vanjaar die o.13-streekspan gehaal. Gardner was ook die span se kaptein en voorste puntemaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het agt drie\u00eb gedruk en ook 20 punte met die skoen aangeteken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drie ander spelers het vanjaar die OP se o.12-span verteenwoordig. Hulle is Jack Toring (voorry), Lu-Aiden Kriel (skrumskakel\/losskakel) en Johandr\u00e9 Visagie (flank).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
