\u2019n JONG rolbalspeler van Despatch het di\u00e9 sport op sy kop kom keer en \u2019n paar eerstes vir die dorp en sy rolbalklub aangeteken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edwin Nance (21) is OP rolbal se jongste speler \u00e9n die 2018 amateur-kampioen (novice). Dit is die eerste keer sedert die kampioenskap in 1932 begin het dat \u2019n speler van Despatch dit wen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het in 2015 as 18-jarige by Despatch Rolbalklub aangesluit. Voor dit het hy sy pa, Warren Nance, ook \u2019n lid van di\u00e9 klub, ge-reeld vergesel na rolbalwedstryde, maar nooit gedink hy sal ooit self speel nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm eerlik te wees, ek het altyd gedink rolbal is vreeslik vervelig. Regtig, wat kan nou so erg aan di\u00e9 balrollery wees? Maar ek was verkeerd. Rolbal is nie so eenvoudig as wat dit lyk nie en alles behalwe vervelig. Dit is \u2019n ongelooflike kompeterende sport en tegnies moeilik,\u201d s\u00ea Edwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kort nadat hy aangesluit het, was hy die wenner van die junior klubkampioenskappe en toe deel van die span wat die Jeffreysbaai Sesse (2016) gewen het. Daarna het sy seges die een na die ander ingerol en hy behou sedert 2015 sy titel as junior klubkampioen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verlede jaar was hy gekies vir die OP o.30 B-span wat in Bloemfontein aan \u2019n nasionale kampioenskap deelgeneem het. Vanjaar is hy ingesluit in die OP o.30 A-span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Eerste Despatcher ooit na OP Meesters<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verlede Saterdag het Edwin aan die Meesters-kampioenskappe deelgeneem. Om uitgenooi te word as een van die top 12 spelers vir die Meesters is die hoogste prestasie in OP-rolbal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edwin het weereens geskiedenis gemaak deur die eerste Despatch rolbalspeler te word wat uitgenooi is om aan die Meesters deel te neem. Hy het briljant gevaar en \u2019n brons-medalje gewen wat beteken hy is onder die top 3 beste rolbalspelers in die Oostelike Provinsie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President van die Despatch Rolbalklub, ds. Chris van der Westhuizen s\u00ea, \u201cEdwin se entoesiasme en prestasies spoor ons ouer spelers opnuut aan om met geesdrif te speel. Ons oefen nou soos nog nooit tevore nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs klub is ons dankbaar vir die groep jonges wat by ons aangesluit het. Dit is \u2019n inspirasie en beteken baie vir Despatch se rolbal.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edwin s\u00ea die kuns om \u2019n goeie rolbalspeler te wees is \u201com verloor te kan vat en om goeie sportmanskap te wys, of jy wen of verloor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy moet jou rolbalballe k\u00e9n, die lyne en gewig in jou hand moet soos tweede natuur vir jou wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edwin en sy pa het tydens die laaste Statebondspele omtrent die huis se dak gelig soos hulle voor die televisie die Suid-Afrikaanse spanne aangemoedig het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het geskreeu soos mense vir rugby skreeu, want ons weet hoe intensief die rolbalspel is.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En ja, Edwin s\u00ea hy hardloop ook agter sy rolbalbal aan \u2026 maar net as hy voel dit gaan \u2019n goeie skoot wees. So, hy hardloop nogal baie agter sy bal aan! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
