Tukkies Women shine in international tournament
Posted on Monday 22 June 2009 - 10:13:49 by technical  
The Tukkies Women's team was invited to take part in the annual tournament played in Reunion in the place of the Springbok Women's side. With their performance in the tournament, the side from Pretoria University showed that they deserved their spot and also showed that they could be competitive against any international side. (The tournament did not start without incident for the girls from Tukkies, as the team lost one of their star players even before leaving, due to a passport that was not ready in time.)

In the preliminary matches all teams played each other to determine the finalists for the tournament. Tukkies kicked off their tournament by beating Reunion 15-5 in their first match. In the other two matches Tukkies first beat Mayotte by 55-0 and then had a tough encounter against a strong team from Madagascar, beating them 10-0.


Tukkies then faced France in the "final", with both teams unbeaten. With the kick-off the ball came off the side off the boot of Yolanda Meiring, exposing the field on both sides. Tukkies managed to cover and turned the ball over, opening the scoring to lead France by 7 points after a few minutes. While on attack Tukkies then turned the ball over allowing the French side to score, just before half-time. Just on half-time Pulane Motluong from Tukkies also received a yellow card for what appeared to be a legal tackle. (Half-time score 7-7)

After half-time the game was extremely tight and the ball came loose after a French player was tackled. The referee ruled play-on and one of the French players picked the ball up and scored, giving France the lead for the first time in the match. France broke through again just before the end of the match and the French player was tackled on the try-line with the ball being dislodged in the process of scoring. The try was however awarded and the French won the match with a final score of 19-7.


(The Tukkies team and their management would like to thank SARU for the opportunity to take part in the tournament and for the opportunity to gain valuable experience from competing at this level. We also would like to thank out sponsor "Healthtech: IceMan Herbal cooling Gel" for additional assistance that made this trip possible.)
