Rugby Warriors prove to be ‘Dewars’ not talkers
It was a fitting end for a team that has worked hard during the year.
IT was a great evening for the Riversmead South Coast rugby Warriors when they won the Dewar Shield by beating Piet Retief 55-12 at King’s Park Stadium last week Friday.
After dropping down from premier to the first division this year, the Warriors had a fair amount to prove this year.

In the final, tries were scored by Lourens Stapelberg, Lunga ‘Lang Jan’ Madlala (2), Brendan Rademeyer, Donovan Horne, Rameez Allie, Keith Chirwara, Kamevihle Fatyela and Tristan Rothman.
What made the victory just that little bit sweeter was that it was played on head coach/super sub Juan van den Berg’s birthday.
In the week before the match, there was a ‘tie and braai’ for the players ahead of the final, with Danie Steyn of Status Panelbeaters (one of the team’s main sponsors along with Riversmead) performing the honours.
Men of the match were ‘Lang Jan’ Madlala (forwards) and Senanelo Ndlazi (backline).
The team that played was: 1 Jade Nyman, 2 Chris Mitchell, 3 Lourens Stapelberg, 4 Chris Sharpe, 5 Lunga Madlala, 6 Cameron Camp, 7 David Durrheim, 8 Brendan Rademeyer, 9 Graeme Bester, 10 Brandt Fields, 11 Mangwe Marubelela, 12 Donovon Horne, 13 Rameez Allie, 14 Senanelo Ndlazi, 15 Keith Chirwara.
Bench: 16 Msizi Mzindle, 17 Tian Malherbe, 18 Xolani Batyi, 19 Kamevihle Fatyela, 20 Tristan Rothman, 21 Yonela Baleni, 22 Juan van den Berg.
