Elsje Vermeulen

Die Hoër Tegniese Skool Vereeniging het op 13 Mei sy sesde jaarlikse sportdinee in die Vereeniging Stadsaal gehou en tien prag-sportgedenkwaardighede is opgeveil.

Sowat 500 mense het die geleentheid bygewoon. Niekie van den Berg, bekende radio-persoonlikheid was die gasspreker en Ray Dylan, een van SA se gewildste sangers, het vir die musiek gesorg.

"Ons is baie tevrede hoe die aand verloop het. Nogmaals 'n groot dank aan almal wat die skool ondersteun het," sê mev. Ilze van Heerden (organiseerder).

Hoewel die sportgedenkwaardighede nie sulke hoë pryse soos in die verlede behaal het nie, was die aand 'n groot sukses vir die skool.

Een van die items ('n Super 14 Bulls-trui), is vir R10 000 verkoop. Dié geld sal aangewend word om kinders van plaaslike kinderhuise op 'n see-vakansie te neem.

Twee ander items is elk vir R9 000 elk verkoop.

Rugby: Cheetahs vs Falcons

Cheetahs rugby fans in die Sedibeng (Gauteng, South Africa) and Sasolburg (Northern Free State) were treated with top Vodacom rugby action when the Cheetahs and the Falcons took each other on in an official league game in Sasolburg on Saturday (March 1).
The day started early with school and club teams playing before the main game. But a heavy thunderstorm shortly before the start of the main game, almost ruined everything. It sent spectators running for cover and approximately 30mm of rain was measured in the thunderstorm that lasted for almost half and hour..
But the skies dried up and the game started right on schedule. Almost 1 500 spectators hurried back to the pavilions. It turned out to be a day to remember as the Falcons put up quite a display of skill and character, taking on the much loved Cheetahs.
The Cheetahs recorded their second consecutive Vodacom 14 victory (36-33).
