Goeie rugbyjaar vir NWU
Klerksdorp Rekord, Potchefstroom - Daar was Woensdagaand 4 Oktober min tot geen wenkbroue gelig toe Vernon Paulo, die NWU se uithalerhaker, as die NWU Rugbyinstituut se Speler van die Jaar aangewys was nie.
Paulo is met die Johan Claassen-trofee vir sy uithalerspel in die Varsitybeker beloon en was deurgaans uitsonderlik. Nie net het hy die meeste drieë in die kompetisie gedruk nie - voorwaar ʼn rariteit vir ʼn vaste voorspeler - maar sy werksetiek en leierskap was ook van die vernaamste eienskappe deur die loop van die kompetisie.
Tino Swanepoel is as die Varsitybeker Speler van die Jaar aangewys en ondersteuners sal vir lank dié kookwater veelsydige speler se pragdrieë gedurende die kompetisie onthou. Sy twee drieë in die eindstryd teen Ikeys was uiteindelik deurslaggewend vir die seevierende NWU Eagles.
