ROBERTSON. \u2013 Die 2023-Bre\u00eb-Langebergstreekwenner, Robertson Town, is nou die enigste onoorwonne Grootuitdaagbekerspan in die Bre\u00eb-Langebergstreek nadat Villagers Montagu, wat tot Saterdag (6 April) ook nog nie verloor het nie, in Worcester teen Young Hamiltons vasgeval het.<\/p>\n
Town het sy onoorwonne status behou deur sy buurman Robertson Rangers in \u2019n titaniese stryd op die Van Zylstraat sportterrein naelskraaps met 43-41 te klop.<\/p>\n
Town lyk in hierdie stadium van die ligakompetisie onstuitbaar en het tot dusver volpunte in al vyf sy ligawed\u00adstryde behaal. Hy beklee tans die topposisie in die Bre\u00eb-Langebergafdeling met 25 punte .<\/p>\n
Hoewel Town die Rangers uit die staanspoor onder geweldige druk geplaas het, was dit die besoekers wat in die veelbesproke derby \u2013 dis hoe \u2019n rugbystryd tussen di\u00e9 twee aartsvyande bekend staan \u2013 eerste punte op die telbord gekry het. Die besoekers het \u2019n onverdoelde drie aangeteken. <\/p>\n
Die tuisspan wat in die vasteskrums oorheers het, het egter minute later die voortou geneem toe Michaine Fick \u2013 n\u00e1 \u2019n sterk skrum \u2013 agter die pale afgerond het.<\/p>\n
Collin Willemse (losskakel) se doelskop was oor en die telling het aangeskuif na 7-5 in Town se guns.<\/p>\n
Kort hierna het Willemse Town se voorsprong met \u2019n suksesvolle strafdoel vergroot nadat Rangers se nr. 7-flank n\u00e1 ongeoorloofde spel met \u2019n geelkaart gestraf is (telling 10-5).<\/p>\n
Town se oorheersing in die skrums was indrukwekkend. <\/p>\n
By geleentheid het hy Rangers van sy eie ingooi afgestoot en n\u00e1 di\u00e9 vaskopskrum het Fick, wat \u2019n uitstaande wedstryd gehad het, sy tweede drie \u2013 ook deur Willemse verdoel \u2013 gaan druk.<\/p>\n
Die telling het toe na 17-5 vir die tuisspan gegroei.<\/p>\n
Die opdraandestryd het vir Rangers al hoe steiler geword, maar di\u00e9 het nooit gaan l\u00ea nie. Trouens, die besoekers het met mening teruggeveg. <\/p>\n
In \u2019n stadium het hy Town \u2019n ruk lank in sy kwartgebied onder hewige druk gesit en \u2019n strafskop afgedwing.<\/p>\n
Dawie Conradie (losskakel) het toe Rangers se agterstand met \u2019n strafdoel tot 17-8 verklein.<\/p>\n
Town het feitlik onmiddellik hierna met \u2019n verdoelde drie teruggeslaan en sy voorsprong weer vergroot toe die telling 24-8 geword het.<\/p>\n
Net voor rustyd is die tuisspan se stut, Oliver Regue, n\u00e1 \u2019n gevaarlike duikslag met \u2019n geelkaart gestraf. <\/p>\n
Rangers het met di\u00e9 strafskop die kantlyn opgesoek en n\u00e1 \u2019n onstuitbare dryfmaalbeweging vir \u2019n onverdoelde drie oorgeval.<\/p>\n
Die humeure het toe opgevlam en van die spelers het mekaar getakel, maar Jabian Jaftha (skeidsregter) het tussenbeide getree en die orde vinnig herstel, waarna die spanne gaan water drink het met die rustydtelling 24-13 in Town se guns.<\/p>\n
N\u00e1 die blaaskans het Rangers met meer geesdrif gespeel en Town behoorlik geskud toe hy met twee verdoelde drie\u00eb kort n\u00e1 mekaar die voortou geneem het (telling: 27-24).<\/p>\n
Maar Town is nie sonder rede die verdedigende Bre\u00eb-Langebergkampioen nie. Hy het karakter gewys en op sy beurt self met twee vinnige drie\u00eb, waarvan slegs een verdoel is, teruggeslaan om kort daarna weer die leisels met 36-27 oor te neem. <\/p>\n
Die atmosfeer was gelaai toe Rangers egter kort hierna met \u2019n verdoelde drie sy agterstand tot slegs twee punte verklein en die telling 36-34 geword het met Town steeds \u2019n kortkop voor.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Oorwinning, binne bereik van albei spanne, het op die horison l\u00ea en wag. Die skare was op hul voete toe die tuisspan weer gaan druk en die telling 43-34 gemaak het.<\/p>\n
Maar steeds was dit het einde niet. <\/p>\n
Getrou aan sy bynaam, Never Die, het \u2019n begeesterde Rangers net eenvoudig geweier om boedel oor te gee en weer met \u2019n verdoelde drie teruggekap. <\/p>\n
Ongelukkig het die uurglas vir die besoekers, wat verbete teruggeveg het, uitgeloop en Town het di\u00e9 opwindende kragmeting teen sy aartsvyand naelskraaps met 43-41 in sy guns beklink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
