Van der Merwe cleans up at awards
Brakpan Rugby Club held their annual prize-giving and year-end function at the club, recently.
The club’s brilliant lock forward Dean van der Merwe was the star of the show, scooping the most awards on the night.
He helped lead the team to Valke Peregrine success earlier in the year and will be unfortunate not to be showcasing his talents in the 2015 edition of the Cell C Community Cup.

Most Valued Player of the Year: Dean van der Merwe.
Forward Player of the Year: Dean van der Merwe (William Hunter Trophy).
