Voortrekker shine in Bethlehem
In their FNB Classic Clash in sunny Bethlehem on Saturday, Voortrekker outshone Witteberg to the tune of 57-14.
It is the seventh time in a succession that Voortrekker have one and each year, except for 2011, the victories have been substantial but not even this one was as big as 2012's 74-5.
The brightest Voortrekker star was flyhalf Tokkie van Zyl who played for the successful Griffons at Craven Week and scored 17 points – a try and six conversions of nine attempts.
An unusual feature of the scoring was that two Voortrekkers each scored hat-tricks – scrumhalf Phillip Maré and eighthman Junior Oosthuizen. Also impressive for the winners was flank Clinton Moloi.
