PRESIDENT’S LETTER

WORD FROM CAPE RUGBY TV

Although there is a shortage of Western Province club rugby games during the religious period

of Ramadan, there’s still plenty excitement at youth level with the respective National Youth Weeks taking place around the country.

Our U13, U16 and U18 DHL Western Province teams have put in plenty of effort during trials and training to ensure they’re ready for the tough competition at

The WP Club Rugby fixture list is a bit thin this week, but it is however heart warming to see that quite a few clubs have arranged

friendly matches between themselves.

@jpnaude

these annual tournaments - our teams having done so well across all age groups in 2013.

The U13s are currently competing at Glenwood High School in Durban, while our U16s will compete at the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria next week. Looking at our three U18 squads, the Coca-Cola Craven Week side will compete in Middelburg, the Academy team will play in Worcester and the LSEN boys have been playing in Potchefstroom this week.

What an amazing opportunity for these players to get early provincial experience, which will be valuable to their development on and off the field. Fly the DHL Western Province flag with pride, lads!

We have also had our universities competing at the USSA Rugby tournament at Rhodes University in Grahamstown. UCT, Maties, UWC and CPUT, as usual, have been representing their province with pride.

Furthermore, I’d like to welcome the DHL Stormers back to Newlands after the June Test break. I know there is plenty of excitement ahead of the derby against the Vodacom Bulls, so I’m sure there will be a massive crowd to support our boys on Saturday.

Thelo WakefieldWPRFU PRESIDENT

This is truly in the spirit of club activity. After all, one of the original concepts of a clubhouse is to create activity for the community. Not only does this bring people together, which creates an opportunity to engage, but it also keeps the pulse of the activity alive.

When this pulse is kept alive, members are always more keen to participate. This allows for better investment, exposure and sponsorship activity. All this activity creates the opportunity for content. This, together with exposure, creates a great environment for sponsorship and media coverage.

We look forward to following the activities of the active clubs and we wish our Muslim viewers and readers well for the month of Ramadan.

Have a fantastic rugby weekend.

HAMILTONS RUN RIOT OVER VILLAGER

AS SEEN ON TV

Result: Villager 5 Hamiltons 52Match: 139th Annual DerbyVenue: Brookside, Claremont

MATCH DETAILS

On this journey during the season, the players have bought into the systems at the club. We are playing

for pride as we are determined to get back into Super League A.

KIRSTEN MARSHALLVILLAGER COACH

Hamiltons are an experienced team. We have many young

players with a few older guys, who lead the way. They feed off us and

the younger guys are learning. This game was a lekker experience for them. It will put them in good

stead for next year.

ASHLEY CLARKEVILLAGER CAPTAIN


There was plenty of hype going into the 139th derby between Hamiltons and Villager at Brookside last weekend. Both clubs are currently on top of the

standings in the Super League A and Super League B logs respectively, which indicated that both teams are in top form.

For Hamiltons, it was another opportunity for them to add another achievement to their impressive season, while for Villager, it was a chance to see how competitive they could be against one of the top clubs from the premier division.

Hamiltons held the ascendancy for most of the match to secure a 47-point win. Their strong and efficient pack and powerful backline left saw them make light work of Villager, who have their work cut out for them should they return to the top flight next year.

Flyhalf Monty Dumond and flank Nieuwoudt Gresse grabbed a brace apiece for Hamiltons, while there were also tries for wings Craig Pheiffer and Janno van Zyl, and inside centre Calvin Kotze.Villager scored a consolation try via hooker Scott Pitcher.

Hamiltons dominated Villager in the annual derby, running in seven tries to one for a convincing 52-5 victory.

Derbies are always special. It’s never easy coming to Villager and

walking away with a win. They came out with a lot of passion and put us to the sword in the

first half. But our boys answered those questions and I’m chuffed

we leave with a convincing performance.

ANTON MOOLMANHAMILTONS COACH

It was an amazing win. We knew we were going to get a tough

competition against them. We all know what the history books say. It was a good chance for them to measure themselves, and the win

will put us in a good position as we continue our league. It was a lekker

game of hard rugby.

Busy Bees hooker Simon Zono hopes to guide his club to the Super League divisions in the near future.

While the Busy Bees pack has struggled for consistency this season, the 24-year-old has been a standout performer up front. He hopes his form will inspire his team-mates to push for a promotion play-off place in the City League.

“It’s tough to admit, but we are lacking up front,” Zono tells Cape Rugby TV. “We need to become better, on attack and defence. We have a dangerous backline, so if we can set the platform for them to run the ball, we will become more competitive.”

Zono is a stocky hooker, who plays like an extra loose forward as he boasts impressive poaching skills at the breakdown. He’s trained with the WP Disas before, and hopes to earn a playing opportunity too.

“I’ve seen what the players do at that Disas level,” he says. “I learn from those lessons and take that knowledge back to the club. This helps me become a better player. I also use it to inspire those around me by trying new moves at the lineouts and scrums.”

SIMON ZONOBUSY BEES

Primose lanky centre Ramiz Osman is catching attention with strong performances in the midfield.

Nearing 2m in height, you could easily mistake the 26-year-old for a lock. However, his speed and strong ball-carrying ability makes him an asset in the No 13 jersey for his club. He’s also one of the key defensive organisers in the backline.

“Overall, it’s been a tough first experience in the top flight for our boys,” Osman tells Cape Rugby TV. “But this is something we’re embracing. We started off slowly, but we’re getting used to the high standards of the division.”

Osman hopes to help Primrose establish itself as a Super League A regular, while developing as a player.

“I definitely want to lead the club to higher honours. Primrose is growing from strength to strength, so we’re not here to make up the numbers,” he says. “I also hope to play at higher levels in the near future. I’ve never been given a full opportunity, having trained with the DHL Western Province sevens squad before. I want to work hard to earn my provincial opportunity.”

Hamiltons No 8 Jody Burch has an impressive résumé. Having played for SK Walmers and UCT before, the hard-running No 8 has represented DHL Western Province at Amateur and Vodacom Cup levels, and SWD in the Currie Cup First Division.

The 31-year-old also boasts international experience, having played for Cambridge University in England and Gernika Taldea in Spain.

This wealth of experience has given Burch a different rugby perspective at this stage of career.

“I want to help Hamiltons achieve success. We are enjoying an amazing season and the camaraderie among the boys has been great,” Burch tells Cape Rugby TV. “However, at the same time, I want to achieve more than just silverware.

“I want to give back to a game that has given so much to me. I try to spend as much time with junior players and pass on everything I know to them. I also want them to realise that there’s more to life than rugby.”

Burch is one of the top-performing loose forwards in Super League A with a high overall work-rate, especially at the breakdown. He’s also the top try-scorer at Hamiltons.

Scottsdene lock Selwyn Ruiters’ club career has gone full circle. He’s featured in the top flights in the Western Province leagues, with the likes of Hands and Hearts and Brackenfell. However, he’s returned as an experienced player and leader of the team where rugby began for him.

“I started playing club rugby 16 years ago as schoolboy for Scottsdene, so this club definitely has a special place in my heart,” Ruiters tells Cape Rugby TV. “I hope my experience can help Scottsdene develop into a strong and more competitive team.”

It hasn’t been an easy season for Scottsdene, who have lost all eight of their fixtures in Super League B. However, Ruiters remains optimistic.

“The players are trying their best and we remain motivated,” he says. “Just because we are struggling in Super League B, doesn’t mean we’re going to struggle in Super League C. We are going to learn from this experience and improve going into 2015. We will work our way back up.”

Ruiters hopes to go into coaching after retirement as he’s already helping out at his old school, Bernadino Heights.

PROVING THEIR WORTHFalse Bay have emerged as one of the top clubs in Super League A.

False Bay have experienced mixed fortunes in recent years as they endured Super League A relegation and Super League B title success in close succession.

However, the Constantia-based club has finally proved themselves in the top division with an outstanding campaign this season. At the time of writing, False Bay won seven of their nine fixtures and were on track to finish in the top four on the log.

This puts them in a comfortable position to qualify for the President’s Cup.

“Our main goal is winning the knockout challenge and securing a place in next year’s Community Cup,” False Bay executive committee member Brian Peters tells Cape Rugby TV. “Internal politics has caused inconsistencies over the years, but we’ve managed to establish the necessary structures to achieve success. Credit must be given to the coaches and players for all their hard work.”

Founded in 1929, False Bay boasts great tradition. The likes of former Springbok assistant coaches Dick Muir and Gary Gold, and SARU General Manager and former DHL Stormers centre Andy Marinos played for the club. More recently, DHL Stormers flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis used False Bay to relaunch his career in South Africa following a return from French club Racing Metro.

False Bay continue to develop impressive talent. Peters adds that diversity is another major feature at the club.

“If you look across all squads, we are the most diverse club in the region,” claims Peters. “We have players and coaches of all races, religions and backgrounds who are all at home at False Bay. From a board’s perspective, we want to ensure we are self-sustainable.

“False Bay will continue that ethos on and off the field as a true community club, making us a great representative of Western Province club rugby.”

PROVING THEIR WORTH

CLUB FOCUS

ON THE MENDSilverleaf are hoping to transform their misfortune in Super League C into future success.

W hen interviewing Silverleaf president Enver de Morney, he speaks with a heavy heart. With a 53-year history at the club

as player and executive member, he’s witnessed his team struggle in Super League C this year.

Issues with annual player loss and financial shortages have forced his team to compete with limited resources. This has seen the Elsies River-based club lose six and draw one of their eight fixtures this season.

Silverleaf managed their maiden victory of the season against Paarl last weekend (a 24-19 home win), which gives them some hope of avoiding relegation, but De Morney admits there’s plenty of work that needs to be done.

“When I started my career at Silverleaf, we didn’t have a field,” De Morney tells Cape Rugby TV. “We had to pull out the bushes to have a field to train and play matches.

“The main reason we established the club was to get the locals off the streets, playing rugby and supporting our boys. We brought a lot of positivity to the community. More than 50 years later, we still have the same ethos and we’re a proud community club.

“However, in saying that, there is a lack of financial support, and we’re struggling with those shortages.”

Silverleaf are doing all they can to retain their best players and put a strong focus on youth development to ensure they have depth. Their committee is also working hard to solve their current financial struggles, with a big focus on taking care of their local talent.

Silverleaf play an expansive game of rugby, which sees their forwards lay the attacking platform for their backs. It’s no surprise that wings Brent Stevens and Ethan Hess are there top performers as they feature among the try-scorers regularly.

Mogamat Zain Davids is only in his Grade 11 year at Rondebosch, but he’s already enjoying an amazing 1st XV season.

He’s been the standout performer for his school and was deservedly called up to the DHL Western Province squad for the U18 Craven Week in Middelburg.

Having played at U13 and U16 provincial levels, he’s excited to continue his development.

“I’m looking forward to my first U18 Craven Week,” Davids tells Cape Rugby TV. “I’ve learned so much during my time in the DHL Western Province structures, especially new techniques and how to contribute to the scrum.”

Davids is a robust No 8, whose strengths are ball-carrying and strong tackles. He’s also been working hard on his breakdown game.

Davids has already committed to a three-year junior contract, which will see him join the Western Province Institute after matric in 2016.

“But there have been massive improvements. We have so many kids involved at the club and we have many parents coming out to support. And we’re competitive too. Not too long ago, our U11s beat Bishops U11B. They’re a strong rugby school and that victory was a memorable one for our players.”

Masi age groups start from U9 right through to U19. Senior flank Lungelo Payi is involved with the older crop of junior players as head of development.

India, who’s also the senior team captain, believes these players will graduate to higher levels in the near future.

“Our first class of juniors will start filtering through soon,” says India. “The main goal at the club is to transform Masi into a Super League superpower, so the top local talent don’t have to travel from Fish Hoek to other clubs, like Hamiltons and UCT. They will want to play for us.”

BREAKING THROUGHRondebosch No 8 Mogamat Zain Davids’ consistency has been rewarded with provincial selection.

FACT FILE

Masiphumelele are enjoying an outstanding campaign in the Southern League, topping the standings with nine straight wins. This undefeated run puts them in a strong position to secure Super League C promotion.

What’s even more impressive is the growth of youth rugby at the club. Established in 2010 through director of rugby Darren Clarke’s sports development company, Goodsport, Masi have reached out to the youth in the Fish Hoek community and surrounding areas.

Head of youth rugby Sandile India says plenty of progress has been made since then.

“We target the school kids at the local schools and the youngsters from the township,” India tells Cape Rugby TV. “In the beginning, it was difficult to get the township kids involved because they didn’t want to wake up early on a weekend. There were hardly any parent contributions too.

BUILDING MOMENTUM

Masiphumelele’s future looks promising because of the growth of their youth rugby.



your way. If you play well consistently, you will be rewarded eventually. I am proof of that.

You’re playing your final season of Super Rugby. Are you ready for your move to Grenoble in France?The injury was very disappointing, because I was playing very well and wanted an awesome end to my 10 years with DHL Stormers and DHL Western Province rugby. I’m just grateful that I’ll be fit for the last two games, which will be played at DHL Newlands. I would’ve love to end my career at the Stormers, but moving to Grenoble is an experience I can’t turn down at this stage of my career. My focus right now is to help the team enjoy a strong finish to Super Rugby.

CLUB TO PRO

Which clubs have you represented?I was fortunate to play for one of the biggest clubs in South Africa, Maties. I played for them regularly between 2003 and 2005.

What are your fondest memories?I strongly believe club rugby is the heart of Western Province rugby. I enjoyed the camaraderie among the players and the fans provided so much unconditional support. The excitement I got while playing club rugby was really amazing. We didn’t get paid back then, but it was really worth the effort. Western Province club rugby is a special environment to be involved in.

How did club rugby contribute to your development?I was given a great level of experience. With Maties, I competed in the National Club Championships, which is known as the Community Cup today. I played among and against some great players. Club rugby also gave me the platform to secure provincial selection, and later on, a provincial contract.

What do you make of Western Province club rugby today?I still help out at the clubs in my hometown of Hawston and the Boland region. I’m still very close with the coaches, and offer my time when possible. There’s plenty of excitement with the new structure, with so many clubs getting the opportunity of playing against the top teams in the region. Players are also getting more opportunities than we got a few years ago, like more television exposure.

What is your message to club players out there?Make the most of the many opportunities that come

Petrie Bosch enjoyed rugby so much, he played and refereed the game as a scholar at Kahalari High School in Kuruman.

After matriculation, he joined the Griquas Referees Academy before a move down to Cape Town in 2009.

The 27-year-old is now a regular official on the Western Province club and schools scene. He has also previously officiated in Craven Week and provincial games.

“I enjoy refereeing because I love working with different people,” says Bosch. “I’ve received many opportunities to interact with many players and

coaches, which has taught me a lot.

“I love giving teams the freedom to play the game,” he continues. “The referee must never be in the spotlight. The game needs to flow as freely and naturally as possible, while abiding the rules, of course.”

At 27 years old, Bosch hopes to work his way through the national ranks.

“I want to be a regular official at higher levels,” says Bosch. “Having been a referee since the age of 16, I believe I have the experience to do well in tournaments like the Currie Cup.”

Portia Makubalo fell in love with rugby by chance. After being introduced to the game at Lagunya in 2002, she was immediately hooked.

“I just loved everything about rugby… running with the ball and the tackling players. It was just something I enjoyed doing,” Makubalo explains to Cape Rugby TV.

The 32-year-old’s passion for the sport led her to continue her career at UWC in 2011. It also earned her provincial selection between 2002 and 2013.

While she accepts she’s coming to the end of her playing career, she is determined to remain involved in the sport. With her Level 1 coaching licence and BokSmart accreditation, Makubalo’s long-term goals include coaching and team managing.

“There are too many men coaching women’s rugby. Women need to coach women,” she says. “I am planning to retire at the end of the year, and work my way through the coaching ranks. I want to coach or become a team manager at provincial and national level one day.”

COACH’S CORNER

Tell us about your background?I was a referee before I became a coach. I reffed from 2002 to 2008, from club games to Craven Week matches. I started my coaching at a primary school in Potchefstroom, where I was studying at Pukke. I then moved into hostel league rugby before returning to Cape Town in 2010. I then coached at Hamlets, Helderberg and Maties before accepting the head coach post at St George’s in 2012.

How’s the season going so far?Very well. The players are exceeding the club’s expectations. Going into the Super League B campaign, we wanted to put ourselves in the position to secure promotion by 2016. However, at this stage of the season, we have a good chance of jumping up to Super League A.

What’s the secret behind the success?Credit must be given to the players and the support I have on the coaching staff. The players have bought into the system I implemented last season, and now we’re reaping the rewards. We have strict protocols, from dress code to training, and the players have accepted this responsibility really well. The leadership in the squad is doing wonders too. I also have great guys on my management, from assistant coaches and team managers to physios and conditioning coaches. Everybody makes a valuable contribution. We also receive massive support from our fans.

How have you tweaked your club ambitions?We are gunning for a top-two finish on the log to earn Super League A promotion. Over the next two years, we want to establish ourselves in the top division, and be able to compete with the top clubs in the Western Province region, like Hamiltons, Maties and Durbell. With Super League A status, we also want to develop our youth talent and young coaches. St George’s offers a great platform for all young players and coaches.

SURPRISE PACKAGESt George’s head coach Wilbur Kraak is guiding his club to a dream season.

There’s a chance that Helderberg, Sir Lowrians and St Geogre’s could all be competing in Super League A next season. How would this impact the region?The Helderberg region is filled with great talent and this will be great for the respective clubs, but each team will need to plan their structures and squads carefully as the demand for the best players will be high. We will place a strong emphasis on recruitment, especially from our feeder schools and areas, to ensure we have enough depth to compete in Super League A.

What are your personal goals?In the short-term, I want to help St George’s establish itself in Super League A. We’re a proud community club, and with our established ethos and morals, we want to achieve success. If I can guide the club to these achievements, I’d like to go on and coach professionally.
