TUT Young Guns ready to rock!
FNB TUT's Young Guns are hard at work preparing for the inaugural FNB Young Guns competition.
The side will be coached by Jan Smit, who will be assisted by Vaughn Scholtz and Werner Pieterse (a former Carlton League stalwart). The team will be managed by Jacques Bloem.
Most of the team members matriculated last year and will have their first taste of Varsity and Club Rugby this year.
The team will be captained by Gerhard Roux who went to Diamandveld HS in Kimberley and also played for Griquas in the Currie Cup Under-19 'B' Division.
Players to watch out for are wing Deon Fitchet, the exiting former Waterkloof player, centre Ruan Rohm - from Brandwag High School in Benoni - and former Affies centre Adriaan van der Berg.
Coach Jan Smit is very happy with the talent in the squad and believes that they will do well in this year's FNB Young Guns campaign, which gets underway against FNB Tuks on Monday, February 13 at the TUT Stadium.
* Meanwhile, the TUT Juniors played a warm-up game against Benoni U21 this past weekend which they won 18-0.
FNB TUT Young Guns fixtures:
February 13: v FNB Tuks (home)
February 20: v FNB UCT (home)
March 12: v FNB Kovsies (away)
