Newcastle Highlanders held their annual trials last Friday night. Four teams were formed and 25-minute games were played.
Head coach, Andrè ‘Swanie’ Swanepoel, enthused that there was a lot of talent out on the field which made for a difficult selection process.
Yes, some players only showed up for the trials, but that’s fine as long as they want to play. However, I must emphasise that most of the players began practicing in January already,” said Swanie.
Highlanders will host Volksrust on Friday night at 18:30 and Sentraal on Saturday at 14:00 as the curtain raiser for Nkzn vs Durban at the Arbor Park Sports Grounds.
