OPTIMUM WEDNESDAY CLUB RUGBY COLUMN – Featured Durban Blog

24 May 2022 by Alan

OPTIMUM WEDNESDAY CLUB RUGBY COLUMN:

With all the Optimum Moor Cup Premier Division and Wylie Cup games postponed due to the inclement weather over the weekend, which caused the fields at the respective clubs to be flooded, the Rovers main focus was on the First Division.

In the only game played Dynamo Travel Hillcrest beat Ballito Dolphins 36-13 on their home grounds at Shongweni.

Hillcrest scored six tries to two in quite the most difficult conditions with Robbie Skilton crossing for three touchdowns and the others going to Cameron Capes, Andries Botha and Martin van Rooyen. Mack Mackie was successful with four conversions 

The Dolphins RFC responded with Mark Akkers scoring all their points with two tries and a penalty 

In the Frank Norris Under 20 games UKZN Durban beat Durban Collegians 26-0, SKZN beat UKZN Durban B 36-6 and Varsity College edged out Crusaders 8-5 in a closely contested game   

This weekend sees Durban Collegians hosting Crusaders while Synergy Westville Old Boys RFC travel to Richards Bay,  College Rovers will be at home to UKZN Durban and Amanzimtoti will be visiting the Capital to play UKZN Pietermaritzburg at the Peter Booysen Stadium.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: The “Cuban Hat” and its neighbour “The Nest” were two very popular drive in locales situated on the then Lower Marine Parade in Durban. They were especially popular in the late 50s / early 60s when own car transport became an essential must have amongst young adults. These were the days when young adult life changed considerably when freedom of movement, the changed music and habits of the time and there was a general improvement in living standards. Initially any form of car was better than none because as the saying was, it enabled you to get to “where the action was”. Action being where parties, socials, “sessions” and get togethers. The fact that you could pick up your mates or girl friends and go together as a group made life good. Parents of the time had to adjust to the times because they were brought up when stricter parental control was generally enforced. The days of dates being, sitting in the lounge with the parents were no longer and life was now centred on getting out and about and mixing with your own age group.
