DESPATCH Krieketklub kan daarop roem dat \u2019n hele paar internasionaal bekendes in die sportarena eens op di\u00e9 klub se velde krieket gespeel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit sluit in bekendes soos Danie Gerber wat beskou word as die w\u00eareld se beste senter ooit, Rudi Koertzen wat die w\u00eareldrekord hou as skeidsregter wat by die meeste een-dagwedstryde opgetree het en voormalige Protea-kaptein Johan Botha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Nuwe klubbestuur is onlangs aangewys en onder aanvoering van Rudi Koertzen junior as die president wil die bestuur die krieketklub weer as \u2019n gerekende klub vestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie kompetisie is baie sterk en oefeninge begin September. Intussen fokus ons om ons fasiliteite ekonomies te bedryf en daarom is ons klubhuis opgeknap en nou daagliks oop vir die publiek,\u201d s\u00ea Rudi Koertzen junior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Gesellige klubkuiers <\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Steakbraai is verlede Saterdag aangebied as die afskop vir di\u00e9 planne en daar gaan verskeie gesellighede in die toekoms aangebied word. Die klubhuis is tot die beskikking vir privaat funksies en sport kan op grootskerm daar gekyk word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despatch Krieketklub se 70ste bestaansjaar word in 2019 gevier en na verwagting gaan dit \u2019n groot saamkuier wees wat hopelik deur verskeie van die bekende sportmanne bygewoon gaan word wat eens op di\u00e9 veld vir die klub uitgedraf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar word dikwels na Despatch as \u2019n \u201csportmal-dorp\u201d verwys. Hoe anders want nog voor Despatch \u2019n onafhanklike munisipaliteit in 1945 geword het, was daar reeds in 1943 \u2019n rugbyklub. Op di\u00e9 stuk openbare grond moes die beeste eers verjaag word voordat daar ge- oefen of \u2019n wedstryd gespeel kon word. Die Despatch Rugby Laer is in 1949 gestig en fasiliteite is ook gebruik vir krieket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Krieketklub \u2013 tuiste vir sportmanne<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Despatch Krieketklubhuis is in 1989 gebou deur plaaslike sakeman Julian Hancke, ook \u2019n voormalige president van die klub. In sy termyn het Hancke nie alleen gesorg dat kwaliteit spelers aansluit nie, maar hy het ook die klub tot nuwe finansi\u00eble hoogtes bestuur. Vandag nog staan die twee kleed- kamers bekend as die Rudi Koertzen en Tony Muller kamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan Swanepoel was vir meer as \u2019n dekade president van die Despatch Krieketklub. Hy s\u00ea die klub was \u2019n tuiste vir veelsydige sportmanne en het \u201cuitmuntende krieketspelers en -skeidsregters opgelewer en heelwat uitstekende rugbyspelers wat ook briljant op die krieketveld was. Dan is daar nog \u2019n hele klomp ouens wat krieket gespeel het en vandag redelike goeie gholfers is.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despatch Krieketklub is bevoorreg om een van die w\u00eareld se beste krieketskeidsregters ooit as ere-president te h\u00ea. Rudi Koertzen was in 2006 slegs die tweede skeidsregter ter w\u00eareld wat by 150 toetswedstryde opgetree het. Die ander w\u00eareldklas krieketskeidsregter wat Despatch opgelewer het is Brian Jerling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Outyd se \u201chardegat\u201d spelers<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n voormalige president van die klub, Jannie Kemp, s\u00ea die klub het \u2019n ryk geskied-enis en is propvol staaltjies van die dae toe dit nog \u201chardegat manne met \u2019n goeie gesindheid was wat hier gespeel het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Krieketspelers moes glo self eers die krieketblad en veld versorg voordat daar gespeel kon word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWaar in jou lewe het jy gehoor dat \u2019n krieketblad gebrand word? Na hewige re\u00ebn was die blad baie nat en toe besluit Tony Muller en Willem Oliphant om petrol op die blad te gooi en dit aan die brand te steek om dit droog te kry. En hulle het wraggies daarna gespeel! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOu Vasco Ferreira, die grondeman, het tien gaskets geblaas toe hy dit sien. Hulle het die blad heeltemal opgeneuk,\u201d s\u00ea Kemp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vertel ook van die ferm hand van \u2019n vrou en ere-president Myra de Wet oftewel Ma de Wet, \u201c\u2019n mens wat die manne byme- kaar gehou het op \u2019n ordentlike en \u2019n mooi manier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar was \u2019n insident waar spelers te veel padstoppe gemaak het om hul dors te les op pad na Humansdorp vir \u2019n wedstryd. Gevolglik was hulle veldwerk hopeloos en dit het hulle die wedstryd gekos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk en Myra moes \u2019n tugverhoor hou, ek was mos \u2019n aanklaer in my dae en ons kon nie toelaat nie dat die manne ons klub se naam \u2018gat\u2019 maak nie. Ma de Wet het ges\u00ea waarsku net, maar ek het hulle geskors vir \u2019n maand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToe kom een van die spelers wat geskors is \u2013 oorlede George van Greunen \u2013 na my en s\u00ea \u2018aag oom Jannie ons is nou skuldig, maar kom ons gaan maak \u2019n dop!\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
