SUPER LEAGUE B: LOSING START
Pace and guile outclasses Villager LIAM MOSES
C
LAREMONT club Villager RFC opened their league account with a defeat to Hands and Heart at Brookside on Satur-
day. Villager were relegated to Super League B last season after finishing stone-last in the Super League A, the top flight of club rugby in Cape Town. The club, South Africa’s second oldest after Hamiltons, were expected to win the encounter, but three sublime tries saw the visitors win 26-16. Villager opened the scoring through a penalty in the fourth minute, but outside centre Piet Wilmans’ kick would be the home sides’ last points of the first half. Hearts went into the game with the intention to spread the ball and keep the heavier and larger Villagers pack on the move. The tactic eventually started to bear fruit after 20 minutes when they raced to a commanding lead, thanks to an 11-point haul in just four minutes. Flyhalf Trevor Booysen levelled the scores in the 22nd minute and then followed up with a try in the 23rd, after his side broke from their own 22m area. Booysen missed the subsequent conversion attempt, but would redeem himself after only a few minutes. Villager were struggling to live with the pace and guile of the Hearts backs and were kept on the back foot by the visitors’ off-loading and quick recycling. Booysen again took centre-stage when he helped set up Vivian Fredericks for his
team’s second touchdown in the 26th minute. He, however, again failed to add the extra points. Villager looked a renewed side when they returned from the half-time break and narrowed the deficit to just one point, after a try from fullback Dylan Barkas and a conversion from Wilmans. The sides then traded penalties, with inside centre Roan Groenewald goaling kicks in the 18th and 32nd minutes, and Booysen responding with a drop goal in the 24th and a penalty in the 35th. The game was eventually put to bed in the final minute when Hearts winger Christopher van der Heever forced his way over in the final minute and Booysen converted. . Meanwhile, Villager’s rivals and southern suburbs neighbours, False Bay RFC, fared better in their season opener against Super League B newcomers Hamlets on Saturday. The Constantia side scored 11 tries and conceded just one to trounce their opposition 76-11 at Phillip Herbstein. The mammoth victory has seen Bay usurp the top spot on the table, as they go in search of a top two finish and promotion back to Super League A. . Primrose also got their season off to a promising start, beating Brackenfell RFC 20-3 in Kenilworth to finish the weekend in third on the table. . SK Walmers edged out Belhar 17-15 in one of only two games in Super League A this weekend. The victory leaves them second on the table.
