LAASTE HOU. Gerhard Strydom speel die haakhou wat sy beurt van 52 in die tweede kolfbeurt van Boland se vierdaagse SuperSport Skildwedstryd teen die Noordelike Titans beëindig het. Boland het Maandag dié wedstryd met 147 lopies verloor. Strydom was Boland se top lopiemaker met 'n telling van 67 in die eerste beurt. Die res van die Boland kolforde kon glad nie die mas opkom nie, met Boland wat slegs met 259 op die Titane se eerste beurt van 451/7 kon antwoord. Die tuisspan-bou- lers is ook kwaai gestraf, met slegs Ryan Groeneveld (4/49 in 25bb) wat in die eerste beurt sukses kon behaal. In hul tweede beurt het die besoekers kort na middagete op die derde dag op 173/6 verklaar wat Boland die teiken van 366 gestel het. Boland speel die naweek teen Oostelikes op Benoni. |

Lopie-vrate Bergrivier breek rekord |

TWEE pragtige honderdtalle en 'n prag-boulsessie van 6/48 het verseker dat die tweedeliga-span van Bergrivier Krieketklub Saterdag nie net die rekordboeke herskryf nie, maar ook hul voortou behou in die Boland tweede liga-kompetisie.
Bergrivier se tweede span het Young Peoples II met 211 lopies vernietig, nadat hulle 401/4 in hul 60 beurte aangeteken het.
Die Paarlse boulers het later nie geweet hoe en waar om te boul om die tuisspan se kolwers in toom te hou nie.
Die dag behoort aan die twee De Vries neefs, Morné en Ashwill. Morné het 'n skitterende beurt van 139 gemoker in 87 balle, wat 12 grenshoue en ses sesse ingesluit het. Hy het vir net meer as 'n uur voor die paaltjies geswoeg.
Ashwill het op sy beurt chaos met die bal aangerig en ses kolwers huis toe gestuur vir die verlies van slegs 48 lopies.
Bergrivier het 'n aanvangsvennootskap van 180 om die eerste paaltjie aangeteken met Darren Isaacs (104 4x16) en Westley Goetham (78 4x4, 6x1) voor die penne.
Ná 30 beurte was die skrif reeds teen die muur. Goetham en De Vries het in 93 minute 'n rekord-vennootskap van 164 om die derde paaltjie aangeteken van net 83 balle.
Ryan Mouton (28 4x1, 6x2) het ook goed gekolf.
Peoples se Marlin Carolissen (2/92) was al bouler wat sukses behaal het.
Peoples het goed begin met 66/1, maar daarna op 'n streep weer terug pawiljoen toe gestap.
Chester Kuiler (41 4x4), Melvin Jackson (25 4x2, 6x1), Ruben Fortuin (30 4x4, 6x1) en Joshua Cupido (24 4x3, 6x1) was Peoples se voorste lopiemakers.
Benewens De Vries se puik boulwerk, het Jack Abrahams (2/33) en Mouton (2/45) ook gehelp om die besoekers tot 190 te beperk.
Die Premierliga-wedstryd tussen Bergrivier I en Touwsrivier is ontsier deurdat die spelers op mekaar gevloek het.
Geen skeidsregter het vir die tweede agtereenvolgende keer opgedaag om 'n wedstryd waarin Bergrivier speel, te beslis nie.
Die erg verswakte Bergrivier-span het 18 minute laat op Touwsrivier opgedaag.
Hoewel die tuisspan in kennis gestel is, het hulle die loot geëis asook 'n voorskot van 50 lopies. Die wedstryd wat om 09:45 moes begin, het eers 10:15 afgeskop.
Bergrivier (238) het die wedstryd met sewe paaltjies verloor.
'n Brief rakende die voorval is Maandag aan Boland Krieket gestuur.
Bergrivier I speel Saterdag tuis teen Citrusdal, terwyl die tweede span op Allandale teen Korrektiewe Dienste te staan kom. |

Van Dyk does some low-flying in LA Marathon |
|
|
 |
|
 |
THE Paarl wheelchair racer Ernst van Dyk took second place after an action-packed chase at the recent Los Angeles Marathon.
Van Dyk stepped up his performance at the 11km mark, after a leading pack of 12 competitors raced for almost 10kms at 32kph, which brought about the thinning out of the pack.
Van Dyk, Saul Mendoza, and Joel Jeannot sped away for the winning position, but Mendoza had one front and back tyre blow out which left him and another South African Krige Schabort 11kms to battle it out for the sixth position.
Schabort was defeated on the sprint and finished seventh in a time of 1:35.
Van Dyk also had the misfortune of losing his tyre at the same place as Mendoza, and came home in second position in 1:29, behind Jeannot's winning time of 1:27,09.
"This marathon was one tough race, but I am pleased with our performances here as it was a tough pack to break from and luckily I could still finish in a strong position despite losing my front tyre," said van Dyk.
Van Dyk and Schabort will participate in the upcoming Boston Marathon on 19 April, the day after van Dyk throws the first pitch for the baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees at Fenway Park, New York. |

Peoples, Noordelikes knor vir mekaar |
|
|
 |
|
 |
DIE eerste rugbyspan van Young Peoples het Saterdag die WP Superliga A span van Noordelikes in 'n vriendskaplike wedstryd harde bene laat kou.
'n Voorseisoense oefenwedstryd is egter 'n beter benaming daarvoor as 'n "vriendskaplike" wedstryd, aangesien die wedstryd 20 minute te vroeg gestop is weens vuilspel met die telling op 12-10 in Noordelikes se guns.
Dit was duidelik dat die span van die Kaap nie die sterk teenkanting verwag het, wat die Paarliete gebied het nie.
Peoples het veral voorlangs oorheers, met Noordelikes wat geen antwoord gehad het op dié sterk Paarl-pak nie. Hier het die ervaring van veral Eugene Makwelana (stut) 'n groot rol gespeel.
Die Tiere se lynstaanwerk en dryfspel was ook eersteklas.
Namate die besoekers al meer gesukkel het, het meer en meer ongeoorloofde spel kop uitgesteek.
Skeidsregter Naim Davids het uiteindelik die wedstryd gestop toe 'n Noordelikes-speler geweier het om die veld te verlaat nadat hy afgestuur is en Davids deur van die spelers gevloek is.
Nog twee top spelers het vandeesweek by Young Peoples aangesluit. André Moses, gewese Boland en WP vleuel, asook die veelsydige voorryman Butch Green, gaan vanjaar vir die Tiere speel.
Peoples speel hul volgende oefenwedstryd teen Windmeul United. |

Albions klop Paarl in harde oefenstryd |
|
|
 |
|
 |
DIE eerste span van Albions Rugbyklub het Vrydagaand hul selfvertroue 'n groot hupstoot gegee toe hulle vir Paarl, verlede jaar se wenners van die WP Premierliga A, met 20-11 geklop het.
Die wedstryd op Faurestraat Stadion is gekenmerk deur harde voorspelerspel, met Paarl wat keer op keer moes wal gooi.
Die agtsteman, Jenovan Cornelissen, was die groot uitblinker in Albions se pak. Sy puik aanvallende spel en verdediging het hom die speler van die wedstryd gemaak.
Die twee agterlyne het goed teen mekaar opgeweeg, maar Albions se vleuels, Ju-Wayne Cyster en Alwyn Hugo, het telkens daarin geslaag om die voordeellyn oor te steek.
Vir Albions het Roderick Allies en Johan van Rooi in die lynstane uitgeblink terwyl Ashley Raubenheimer wat op skrumskakel sy debuut gemaak het, die agterlyn van vinnige besit voorsien het.
Albions se vier drieë is gedruk deur Cornelissen, Hugo, Gamian Poggenpoel (senter), en Ju-Wayne Cyster wat 50m ver genael het vir sy kuiertjie in die doelgebied.
Paarl se drie is deur skrumskakel Jacques Hendricks gedruk wat ook met twee strafskoppe geslaag het.
Paarl II het hul wedstryd 24-7 gewen, terwyl Albions III weer 14-10 gewen het.
Albions speel Saterdag teen Young Gardens op Gardens Park. Wedstryde begin om 14:00.
Albions soek vriendskaplike wedstryde vir hul junior o.12 en o.16 spanne. Belangstellendes kan Stevie skakel by 083-366-3603. |

Sundowns sink Sporting in goal shower |

SPECTATORS were treated to a feast of goals when Mbekweni Sundowns thrashed a meagre looking Sporting United Football Club at Bonteheuwel on Sunday.
The Paarlites booted nine goals into the net, securing 61 points at the top of the Castle League log.
Sporting started off well and kept pace with Sundowns for most of the first half, trailing only by 3-0 at halftime.
In the second half, however, Sundowns increased the pace and steadily started taking control of the game, as Sporting continued to make one mistake after another.
Fumbles with the ball and careless passes cost them dearly, while the Mbekweni team also appeared much fitter.
Midfielder Siphelo Skafu was ajudged man of the match after scoring four goals, while strikers Siyanda Nodlayiya (2), Asanda Mashiqa (2) and Thabang Makoti also contributed to the walk over victory.
The log leaders are being hotly pursued by Cosmos, also from Mbekweni, and Ajax Cape Town.
The match between Sundowns and Ajax which would have taken place on Saturday in Mbekweni is postponed to 27 April.
Sundowns clash with Nelsons from Stellenbosch on Monday at the Mbekweni Stadium.
Cosmos struggled in a match which was supposed to be a comfortable three points for the Mbekweni team, managing only a 1-1 draw against Young Idols from Manenberg on Saturday. |

Laureus sporting heroes help combat social troubles |

SOUTH AFRICAN rugby legend, Morné du Plessis, and fellow members of the Laureus World Sports Academy, Miguel Indurain and Hugo Porta, officially launched the latest Laureus Sport for Good Foundation project in Paarl on Saturday.
Project Sozo will use sport as the means to combat the problems of gangsterism and alcohol and drug abuse which are threatening the young people in Paarl, Pniel, Franschhoek and Kuils River.
Ex-Springbok du Plessis, legendary Argentinian flyhalf, Hugo Porta and five-times winner of the Tour de France, Miguel Indurain, visited the Dal Josaphat Stadium in Paarl where teams of 35 schools participated in a volleyball tournament.
"We need young people who through sport can be roleplayers for other kids out there. Druglords are the current role models because they have the beautiful cars, the beautiful houses and clothes," said SABC TV-presenter Cynthia Tshaka, who was the day's programme director.
"We are privileged to travel all around the world with these Laureus Projects of which there are 24 across the globe. Sport has made it possible for us to be here today," said du Plessis, who is the chairman of the Laureus Management Board in South Africa.
"The message is to be champions in sport, and to use that to be champions in life," Porta said.
"Sport is a worthy cause, you have to be patient, it entails some suffering and hard work and you have to give a lot. But at the end, it is worth it," the Spanish cyclist Indurain said by way of his interpretor.
"Getting involved with sport is clean, healthy. The project is not about today, today is just the start. You won't be getting anything - a Laureus cap or T-shirt - for free.
"You will have to go to school, not do drugs, not drink, not rape and not do crime," said Annelie Rabe of Business against Crime.
"Our aim is to assemble the best volleyball team in the Western Cape from players in this area."
She also thanked Stanton Kamalie, a local sporting administrator, for the big role that he played in organizing the project. Du Plessis thanked Kamalie by presenting him with the SA rugby legend's own Laureus cap.
Project Sozo, which means to heal, is the third Laureus Sport for Good Foundation project in South Africa.
"Playing for Peace" coaches basketball to over 10 000 black, white and Indian children in KwaZulu-Natal with the aim of breaking down racial barriers and the "Helderberg Partnership Project" uses sports coaching as a means to tackle juvenile sex abuse.
The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation was set up to promote the use of sport as a tool for social change.
Its work focuses on helping young people overcome poverty, homelessness, war, violence, drugs, discrimination and Aids.
Members of the Boland Sport Council, Department of Education, Department of Sport and Recreation, as well as parents attended the day. |
