D<\/span>espatch is vir seker die enigste klein dorp in Suid-Afrika wat kan spog met \u2018n hele rits sportlegendes wat op internasionale vlak bekendheid verwerf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theresa Prince, die eerste Suid-Afrikaanse netbalskeidsregter ooit wat 100 internasionale toetse geblaas het, is deel van di\u00e9 groep legendes soos Danie Gerber, Rudi Koertzen, Rassie Erasmus, Nantie Hayward, Adri Geldenhuys en Charl Mattheus. Theresa het Maandag tydens die 2023 W\u00eareldbeker-netbal se Afrika-kwalifiserende ronde, wat die week in die Rembrandtsaal in Pretoria gehou word, haar 100e internasionale wedstryd geblaas toe die spanne van Zimbabwe en Botswana mekaar gepak het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk kry steeds daardie skoenlapper-gevoel op my maag voor elke wedstryd. Dit is spesiaal en ek voel gese\u00ebnd om die eerste blaser in die geskiedenis van Suid-Afrikaanse netbal te wees wat \u2019n 100 internasionale wedstryde geblaas het. Ek voel veral dankbaar dat my skeidsregterloopbaan beseringvry is, vir seker is dit my goeie gene,\u201d s\u00ea Theresa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir di\u00e9 100e blaas van \u2019n internasionale wedstryd het Theresa haar spesiale goue Acme-fluitjie gebruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het gewag om di\u00e9 fluitjie, wat \u2019n geskenk is, vir \u2019n baie spesiale wedstryd te gebruik. Wat my 100e internasionale wedstryd nog meer spesiaal maak, is dat dit in Suid-Afrika gebeur het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intussen het Acme, die w\u00eareld se oudste en bekendste fluitjievervaardigers, uit Engeland laat weet dat hulle ter ere aan Theresa vir haar uitsonderlike prestasie, ook \u2019n besondere fluitjie aan haar gestuur het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alhoewel Theresa \u2019n nederige-voete-op-die-aarde-mens is, vat sy omtrent nie grond langs \u2019n netbalbaan nie. Sy het haar eerste wedstryd as \u2019n gekwalifiseerde internasionale skeidsregter in die Verenigde Koningkryk geblaas toe die Engelse Rose teen die Silwer Varings gespeel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy heel eerste internasionale wedstryd is \u2019n wedstryd wat ek altyd sal koester. Dit was in die Cook-eilande by die o.21 W\u00earelbeker. Ek s\u00ea altyd \u2019n skeidsregter is so goed soos jou laaste wedstryd wat jy geblaas het. Al het jy \u2019n 100 wedstryde geblaas, bly elke wedstryd \u2019n uitdaging en moet jy op jou tone bly.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theresa se skeidsregterloopbaan het haar na al die uithoeke van die w\u00eareld geneem waar sy verskeie kere by al die top w\u00eareldtoernooie geblaas het. Ook in Suid-Afrika is Theresa \u2019n bekende skeidsregter by al die top netbaltoernooie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enige mentors in haar lewe? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeslis Reg Sharp. Hy was die eerste man in die land wat vir \u2019n SA A-skeidsregtergradering gekwalifiseer het. Hy het nog altyd in my geglo en my aangemoedig wanneer dinge moeilik raak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDan natuurlik my man Deon, wat ongelooflik ondersteunend is. En my twee stunning seuns Taine en Ryan. Sonder di\u00e9 manne in my lewe sou ek nie my netbalskeidsregterloopbaan voluit kon geniet nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theresa se raad aan opkomende skeidsregters is: \u201cOefen hard, glo in jouself. Die belangrikste van alles is om nederig te bly, maar altyd te reik na die sterre!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
