Captain's profile: Naythan Knoetze

Hudson Park are at the end of a good season, but captain Naythan Knoetze has warned his team against complacency against Cambridge.

The East London school are coming off a good win against Dale last week, but Knoetze is wary of underestimating rivals Cambridge despite the fact that they have already beaten them this year.

"Last year we went into this game with big heads and we lost. It is always a close game against Cambridge so we must not be over-confident," he said.

The physical No.8 who went to Craven Week last year and hopes to play for Border Under-19 next year leads an experienced side which features 10 Matrics.

"We all came through together so we have a good understanding and it is great when it all comes together like it did against Dale last week," he said.

Knoetze has never captained a team before this year, but he has enjoyed the experience and wants his side to put in one last big effort in their last game for their school on Saturday.

He expects a tough test from Cambridge and certainly does not want to let the home supporters down this weekend.

"Cambridge are not a bad side, they will play a lot in their forwards so we will have to be on top of our game to make sure we win," he said.
