Vishuis simply the best in Koshuisrugby!!
Vishuis
Bloemfontein’s Vishuis were crowned Steinhoff Koshuisrugby champions after demolishing Dagbreek 22-7 in the final at Stellenbosch’s Danie Craven Stadium on Monday.
Vishuis, making use of their much bigger pack, dominated the contact situations and bullied Dagbreek off the ball, outscoring them by three tries to one.
The hero of the day was left wing Beyers Louw, who scored two of his team’s tries, kicked two conversions and added a penalty for a contribution of 17 points. That left him on 97 points, the tournament’s leading scorer.
From the opening moments both teams played the game at pace, with a clear intent to keep the ball in hand. However, first success went to Vishuis, with powerful left wing Louw going over after six minutes following some great interplay between forwards and backs.
Dagbreek had to play catch-up throughout, but in the face of some ferocious Vishuis defence they simply could not find a way over the line and they were also prone to more errors in their chase.
There was some consolation for the home team in the dying seconds when left wing Danie Kritzinger used his pace to exploit some unexpected space out wide after Vishuis had turned over possession. Lourens added the conversion to make the final score 22-7.
The scorers:
Dagbreek: Try: Danie Kritzinger. Conversion: Deon Lourens
Vishuis: Tries: Beyers Louw (2), Jaco Lambrecht. Conversions: Louw (2). Penalty: Louw
