‘Panne’ bounce back in Peregrine League
On Saturday, the ‘Panne’ men were relentless and showed the skills, desire and confidence that has made them so revered in club rugby for years.
A five-week break has seemed to reignite the winning momentum for Brakpan Rugby Club’s first XV who returned to winning ways with a morale-boosting win over the Wolves of Kempton Park in the Valke Peregrine League on June 16 at Bosman Stadium.
Their hunt for a semi-final spot is now alive and kicking.
The first side cantered to a 56-0 drubbing of Kempton.
The Panne dotted down seven times on the day with hooker Jonathan Harding crossing the whitewash three times for a superb forward’s hat-trick.
The other tries were scored by winger Danie Hatting, eighth man and captain Reg Muller and PJ Beukes who scored a brace of tries.
Beukes also kicked well on the day, scoring the remainder of the points for Brakpan.
