Hey Boet we had problems again at Paarl Gym. The match had to be stopped 13 minutes before time against Kwaggas (Outeniqua). The same TH Fattie from Gim whos dad nearly gave Manuel a snotklap two years back when we played Bishops as U16, Kitshoff in the thick of things again. The Kwaggas tackle one of our wings into the advertise boards and a massive fight errupts. The ref gave a Gimmie and Kwagga a red one and one of the Georges Tannies (suppose it was one of the players mum) ran on the field and gave the ref a moerse klap. Then Gims principal ask the ref to stop the match.Bugger
I would have liked to have seen that. As a kid I was always scared of the Tannies when we played the Afrikaans schools. They were normally more frightening than the props, and they used to scream too.The ref gave a Gimmie and Kwagga a red one and one of the Georges Tannies (suppose it was one of the players mum) ran on the field and gave the ref a moerse klap.
I talked to Piet Koen (Louis the x protea cricketers broer) on wednesday. He ref at this schoolboy level now for several years and in charge of the same match in 2004 when more or less the same thing happen between Ashley Johnson (then Gim capt) and Johan Snyman (played in NZ and now with the Lions). The problem can be fix pretty easily and he blame the linesmen. He said he just knew something is going to happen when he saw the current GalPil coachs brother Wolvie Wolvaart and Kwagga coach and a schoolboy ran the lines. According to him the trouble started early when they target the Gim fatty (the same one who's dad nearly gave Manuel some lip in the Bishops game) in the scrums and lineouts and Wolvaart looked the other way and did not brought it under the refs attention. He said when you ref this kind of matches, when you saw the first fist , no warning , only red and the trouble is finish.I would have liked to have seen that.

Schools action in 2010
The Western Cape's most appetising fixtures this weekend take place in Stellenbosch and Riversdale.
On Saturday Boland Landbou went a long way to eradicating the humiliation wreaked on them last term by Paarl Gim with a pulsating victory away to Drostdy.
The Young Maties, with Renier Marais reappointed captain, put on a five-star display of their own, sinking Oakdale comfortably despite being short of half-a-dozen regulars. Paul Roos should win this one too, but beware the Landbou Big Eight!
Paarl Gim have swept all before them locally this year and are likely to continue their brilliant form against Oakdale in Riversdale on Saturday. The Bulle are the unofficial champions of the Eagles' Nest, so this represents a top-of-the-table clash of sorts.
Even given that Christiaan Rust is back to his sublime best and wing Wentzel Lombard has struck a rich vein of form, a home win is highly unlikely. However, a spectacle of attractive rugby is guaranteed.
Paarl Boys' High are not likely to be troubled too much by Rondebosch at Brug Street.
While Elmo Wolfaardt and Richard Visagie will probably agree that the Streeptruie have not set the world alight this year, due mainly to injury problems, they still possess too much firepower for the 'Bosch, especially at halfback where Gavin Hauptfleisch has been receiving such outstanding service from the cruelly underrated Louis Nel. Plus this is the dress rehearsal for Interschools next Saturday !
Wynberg may have knocked out Rangers/Silvertree on Saturday while Bishops lost by a point to Tygerberg High, but not even the most optimistic of the lads from Lovers' Walk will be staking his allowance on a home win this Saturday. Simply put, the Bishops backs hold all the aces.
The remaining Premier A side, SACS, should be able to take care of HTS Bellville without too much difficulty when they travel down Voortrekker Street this weekend. Godfrey Tundube and company have ridden some hard times with dignity and are now amply rewarding their spectators' abiding faith.
Premier B action sees a rather mixed bag.
First up, the Tygerberg High juggernaut, ranked No.20 among SA Schools this week, invade Kuils River for a meeting with De Kuilen. Despite both sides enjoying current success, the Tiere's indomitable blitzkrieg style is likely to sweep just about everything it still has to meet this campaign before it. With Ruan Mostert at last fit again and dictating play from centre, they are going to damage the Kuile's record, big time.
Poor old Brackenfell. Annihilated by Paul Roos, whacked by Rondebosch and even seen off by Super league President in between, they now face the less than enchanting prospect of welcoming the slick HTS Drostdy team to the northern suburbs. The Donkeys are in devastating form, particularly out wide. Expect a big score in this one.
DF Malan host stop-start Stellenberg, who struggled to subdue a severely injury-plagued Swartland team last time out. DF have such a wretched record this year that even a fifteen-point defeat would probably represent a victory of sorts, but then there is the Stellies' inconsistency to consider
Bellville High must be fairly confident of beating whipping boys Rangers/Silvertree even away, but Durbanville might have quite a tough one on their hands when President come calling. Pressies have at last begun to show consistency, even if their last outing was a simple task against Table View. Monument Park look to be just a bit too strong for visitors Jan van Riebeeck.
It is the final game in this category that could actually be the most interesting. Statistics - but you know how they can lie - show that Strand has the most successful record in the entire Premier League A and B sections this year. They have lost on only two occasions and one of those was against a very good Duineveld team when the Beach Boys had six matrics away river-rafting.
On Saturday they head out to Malmesbury to face a Swartland side that can't wait for the return of SA Schools High Performance squad member Pieter-Steph du Toit.
Up the Garden Route Oudtshoorn, buoyed by a handsome 34-12 win away to Punt on Tuesday, will be up against it when Uitenhage's Die Brandwag come to town, but there's not a great deal else on the menu, what with Outeniqua heading up to PE to play Framesby, although York do host Riversdale's entertaining Langenhoven High and Seavuna welcome PW Botha.
So to the Boland, where top of the bill looks to be the Clanwilliam meeting between Boland Middle-School champions-elect Augsburg Gym and Schoonspruit. Even with No.8 Luzaar Volschenk a doubtful starter, the Gimmies go into this one as favourites. Then again, Vossie's boys have been so out of sorts this year that they might just choose this one to display their undoubted potential.
Charlie Hofmeyr will be staring down the barrel against Hugenote in Ceres, as will Vredendal at home to Piketberg. Dirkie Uys must fancy their chances at home to Porterville, Hermanus are unlikely to slip up against visitors Stellenbosch, Hopefield look good to win in Bonnievale, Robertson should take care of Overberg in Caledon and Swellendam will be hoping to extend their golden run in Montagu.
Come Saturday, it's the West Coast versus Paarl. Vredenburg plays struggling Labori, while Weston Secondary are going to have their hands full against energetic New Orleans.
Next Saturday: all eyes on Faure Street!

Cant be to far off but then the season is nearly finish. Think they have a last roll against Bishops coming up. Thats the big one for them and Bishops in good form at the moment.Rondebosch been getting some good wins recently. Good to see. Wonder how far off the top 20 they are.
