Van Dyk Feedback

Written by Derick van Eeden

Monday, 10 March 2008

This past weekend several of the Cape Unicorns participated in the Van Dyk tournament, being hosted in Saldanha. We had teams entered into the A-, B- and C divisions.

Thank you to all who made an effort to get to Saldanha, especially those who assisted with the trucking, as we had to rely on using only horse boxes.

Feedback on the official results as received from Nick Slabber are as follows:

A Division

What a final round we had! With 3 of the 4 sections winning two games each we had to go to goal average to decide the winners.

Winners - Cape Hunt A3 with 36 goals total. Stefan Niemand, Henro Potgieter, Shelly du Plessis
Runners Up - Cape Hunt A4 with 33 goals total. Tammy Salter, Rudolf Livingstone-Louw, Michael Woods.
Best 1 = Michael Woods
Best 2 = Stefan Niemand
Best 3 = Henro Potgieter with Henro's Pony - Cosy - the Golden Pony.

Winners: Stefan, Shelley & Henro

Best 1,2,3: Michael, Stefan & Henro

B Division

Only three sections entered the B-Div. On Saturday all three sections played each other and the two top sections played a "winner takes all" final on Sunday.

Winners - Saldanha B1 winning all three their games. Michelle Eckert, Nicomi Slabber, Arno Dreyer(jnr).
Runners Up - Unicorns B2. Karia Marx, Elsa Trichardt, Rolanda van Tonder.
Saldanha B1 also received the Best 1,2 & 3 awards respectively with Nicomi's Horse - Pepi - the Golden Pony.

Winners & Best 1,2,3: Arno, Nicomi & Michelle

C Division

The C-Div ended up with 3 Sections evenly matched ito handicap. The sections were made up from available C-Div players and some B-Div players on greener horses to accommodate our newcomers (Brandon & Luke) for their first tournament. They also played each other on Saturday with the two top sections playing a "winner takes all" final on Sunday.
