ROBERTSON – Robertson Town speel tans kookwaterrugby en sy segetog in die Sanlam-Boland-Top-12-kompetisie duur voort nadat hy die afgelope Saterdag (11 November) ook met Hawston op die Van Zylstraat-sportveld klaargespeel het.<\/p>\n
Dit was Town se vierde agtereenvolgende oorwinning.<\/p>\n
Robertson, wat ook die Bre\u00eb-Langebergstreekwenner is, het \u2019n begeesterde Hawston-span n\u00e1 \u2019n titaniese stryd met 45-35 verslaan.<\/p>\n
Wat Town se vertoning in vanjaar se Top-12-kompetisie so merkwaardig maak, is dat hy met di\u00e9 sege reeds vir die halfeindronde kwalifiseer, al moet hy nog een groepwedstryd (teen Eagles) speel.<\/p>\n
Robertson het die besoekers van meet af aan onder groot druk geplaas en danksy goeie aanvallende spel twee keer gaan druk. Eers het die linkervleuel, Run\u00e9 Lucas, gedruk, en daarna het die agsteman, Lorenzo Baardman, ook agter die besoekers se doellyn gaan kuier.<\/p>\n
Collin Willemse (losskakel) se visier met die doelskoppe was uit, maar hy het wel met \u2019n strafdoel geslaag, wat sy span \u2019n voorsprong van 13-0 besorg het.<\/p>\n
Hawston, ook bekend as \u201cSkrik-vir-niks\u201d, het hom getrou aan sy noemnaam nie laat afskrik van die tuisspan se vroe\u00eb voorsprong nie en kort hierna teruggeslaan met \u2019n drie deur Francois Geduld (agtsteman), wat deur Roland Swarts (losskakel) verdoel is om die telling 13-7 te maak.<\/p>\n
Hawston se veggees het be\u00efndruk toe hy met mening begin aanval en die tuisspan se voorsprong met \u2019n onverdoelde drie deur Heinrich Robertson (plaasvervanger-losvoorspeler) so te s\u00ea uitgewis het om die telling 13-12 maak.<\/p>\n
Town het egter minute later sy geringe voorsprong weer vergroot met \u2019n drie deur die buitesenter, Jennewil April. Gurshwin Africa (skrumskakel) se doelskop was tussen die pale deur, met die telling nou 20-12.<\/p>\n
Hawston het met groot passie gespeel en teen rustyd die voortou met 22-20 geneem nadat Swarts met \u2019n strafdoel geslaag en Gershwin October (heelagter) gaan druk het.<\/p>\n
N\u00e1 waterdrinktyd het Swarts sy span se voorsprong met \u2019n suksesvolle strafdoel verder vergroot toe die telling na 25-20 vir Hawston aangeskuif het.<\/p>\n
Die wedstryd het vir \u2019n rukkie wipplank gery, terwyl Robertson met meer dringendheid begin gespeel het. <\/p>\n
N\u00e1 volgehoue druk in die besoekers se kwartgebied het Town weer sy neus voor gekry toe Juandr\u00e9 Joseph (heelagter) n\u00e1 nog \u2019n aanval oor die besoekers se doellyn gehuppel het. Joseph het vermoedelik sleg getrap en \u2019n besering opgedoen toe hy vir die drie oorgegaan het. Hy is onmiddellik vervang.<\/p>\n
Africa se doelskop was in die kol om die telling 27-25 vir Robertson te maak.<\/p>\n
Minute later is Robertson vir onkantspel gestraf en Hawston het n\u00e1 nog \u2019n Swarts-strafdoel weer \u2019n keer verbygeskuif toe die telling 28-27 vir die besoekers word.<\/p>\n
Robertson het egter weer die voortou geneem n\u00e1 briljante spel deur Africa wat deurgaans \u2019n vlymskerp doring in Hawston se vlees was. <\/p>\n
Africa het n\u00e1 een van sy skitterende breekslae \u2019n pragdrie gaan druk, dit verdoel en \u2019n paar minute later ook \u2019n strafdoel deur die pale gejaag om die telling na 37-28 vir Robertson te laat groei. Skrik-vir-niks het egter hierna die aanskoulikste drie van die dag gedruk.<\/p>\n
Die besoekers het \u2019n sterk aanslag van die tuisspan in sy eie kwartgebied afgeweer. Die bal het by \u2019n afbreekpunt losgespat en Ronaldo Isaacs (linkervleuel) het dit opgepik. Hy het feitlik oor die lengte van die veld genael en ondanks pogings om hom te stuit, sy lopie met \u2019n spogdrie onder die pale afgerond.<\/p>\n
Die spanning was byna tasbaar toe Swarts seker maak van die doelskop om sy span se agterstand te verklein met die telling wat 37-35 geword het, met Robertson steeds \u2019n kortkop voor.<\/p>\n
Die tuisspan het egter vasgebyt en kort daarna die wind uit die seemanne se seile gehaal toe Cheslin Arendse (plaasvervanger-heelagter) \u2019n onverdoelde drie gaan druk het. <\/p>\n
\u2019n Africa-strafdoel minute later was soos \u2019n mes deur Hawston se hart, want dit het die wedstryd met min speeltyd oor buite bereik van die besoekers geplaas. <\/p>\n
\u2019n begeesterde Robertson Town het di\u00e9 spannende kragmeting uiteindelik met 45-35 in sy guns beklink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
