More trophies for Vineyards
2011-04-28
THE Vineyards Rugby Club is on a roll. After this weekend’s Fish King 10-a-Side tournament, that was hosted by Young Standards at the Faure Street Stadium, they now have ten trophies in their cabinet for the 2010 and 2011 seasons. After Saturday’s 10’s victory over Young Peoples, Violets and Franschhoek United, Vineyards Rugby Club can arguably claim to be the best club in the Paarl area. Paarl, who are playing in the Premier A league, were knocked out early by Young Standards with a try in the last minute. They then went down to Franschhoek by 25 points in the semi-final. On current form, both with the number of players and on field results, Vineyards is doing something right. Both Young Peoples (Super B) and Franschhoek (Premier B) were victims to the elusive running style and strength of the Vineyards players on Saturday. At times it seems that the Vineyard’s team was playing with 15 men as opposed to 10. Vineyards beat Young People 24-10, Violets 44-5 and Franschhoek United 27-5 taking their trophy count to ten in the display cabinet. They are now the trophy holders of the Gardens Sevens and the Fish King 10-a-Side tournaments. In 2010 they were the Paarl region league and knock-out champions and then to top it all, the u.20 plate final winners at last Saturday’s 10-a-side tournament and the u.16’s league trophy winners for 2010. Added to the six trophies are the four trophies for Vineyards players who were named players with the most tries and points accolades in these competitions. All indications are that Vineyards, with a points difference of 200 after 3 wins in the league this year already, are on their way to defend their league title successfully in 2011.
