Bullseye for Merensky archers
Front: Martin Mostert (Silver), Ryan Jackson, Canell Jackson (Bronze), Lin-Mari Theron (Silver), Morney Kleinhans (Silver), Sean Hunt (Bronze), Beneche Jackson (Silver), Janco Theron (Silver). Back: Mr Ockert le Roux (Gold), Dewald Wagenaar, Helgardt Horn (Bronze), Andre van der Merwe (Gold).
This weekend 14 of Merensky’s best archers travelled to Pretoria and braved what is described as one of the toughest competitions in the sport, namely the Triple Crown Leg 1 ABO/3Di, hosted at Magnum Archery. This adventurous range of 22 butts is set in a natural hunting environment over a distance of 1 to 4km. During this event the archers are divided into groups of four and aim at 3D animal targets as they would appear in their natural surroundings. Participants are scored based on their groupings on the target. This type of competition is challenging in the respect that it forces the archers to navigate rocky and often uneven terrain loaded with shrubbery, trees and outcrops which obscure the view. The targets are placed over distances ranging between 10 and 60 meters and archers compete accord-
ing to draw weight, sex and age. The course usually takes six nail biting hours to complete. Merensky Archers palmed many accolades and both teams claimed podium positions. The second team, consisting of Helgardt Horn, Sean Hunt, Dewald Haagner and De Marco Meyer, earned bronze medals for third place overall while the first team comprising of Lin-Mari Theron, Ryan Jackson, Canell Jackson and André van der Merwe battled their way to second position and earned silver. During the competition Lin-Mari Theron and André van der Merwe achieved two provincial qualifying scores whilst Mr Ockert le Roux, Ryan Jackson, Sean Hunt, De Marco Meyer, Benéche Jackson, Dawie and Janco Theron all attained one Provincial qualifier.

Vossies boulers kniehalter Jeugland Hoërskool Ben Vorster het die afgelope naweek hul stempel op die krieketveld afgedwing deur met 146 lopies teen Hoërskool Jeugland in Kemptonpark te seëvier. Dit was tydens die jaarlikse Finsbury toernooi. Die Vossies het die loot gewen en besluit om eerste te kolf. Jimmy Modiba en Vernon Harms het ‘n goeie begin vir die Rooies verseker met hul 99-lopie vennootskap om die eerste paaltjie. Franco Oberholzer en Atwell Mokgoloboto se vennootskap van 68 lopies om die vierde paaltjie het die Vossies gehelp om 244/10 in 46 boulbeurte aan te teken. Vernon Harms (met 42 lopies), Franco
Oberholzer (met 40 lopies) en Jimmy Modiba (met 36 lopies) het as kolwers uitgeblink. Jeugland was vroeg in hulle beurt in die moeilikheid nadat hulle vier paaltjies vir net 23 lopies verloor het. Goeie gedissiplineerde boulwerk en uitstekende veldwerk deur die Vossies het Jeugland onder druk gehou. Die besoekers het in die 26ste boulbeurt die knie gebuig met almal uit vir 98 lopies. Die beste boulers op die dag was Wilco Jansen van Rensburg (2/0 in 1 beurt), Cobus Geldenhuys (2/9 in 2 beurte) en Johan Harms (2/17 in 4 beurte).
