Aberdeen “A” Rugby Team With Trophy

Seen in the photograph on the left is the Aberdeen ‘A’ Rugby Team’s Captain Denzil van Wyk on the right, with Vice-Captain Arlen Jantjies on the left, and sitting is Coach Desmond Coetzee. They proudly display the Karoo Sub-Union Trophy. Aberdeen is now the ultimate champion of Karoo Sub-Union Rugby.
The first league teams against whom Aberdeen played in order to achieve their status as the Karoo Sub-Union Champions were Steytlerville Barbarians, Steytlerville United, Jansenville United, Villagers Pearston, Murraysburg United, Graaff-Reinet Montego and ABC Graaff-Reinet. These games were played on a ‘home’ and ‘away’ basis. Unfortunately, due to non-attendance, the one Graaff-Reinet team was disqualified and so Aberdeen played against Jansenville United in the finals at the Collie Koeberg Stadium.
