I grew up in a place about 110km from Kimberly. Now this is what happen. We were on the Border of Western Transvaal, Freestate and the Northern Cape. In fact the town was next to the Vaal River . When you cross the bridge your in the FS. When you just exit the town your in the Northern Cape. We were part of the Northern Cape region as Kimberly were 110k's, Bloem 160k's and Potch something like 200 to 300k's. Now you don't go play trails then Griquas. You go for a team called Northern trails first. Northerns were like the guys from a academy. They had different jerseys and played against the senior team of the different towns. Police were also in the mix and our smalk town kicked their arses a couple of years in a row. Now to get back to the point I am trying to make in Primary school you stayed a team till you hit std 6. With the high schools you get the Argicultural schools and the schools like Grey who obviously has the best backing out of alkaline the teams. So basically the Argicultural schools will rip these small towns schools apart with their poaching where Grey will in turn take the best from them. And I mean take them with bursaries. So Grey is actually the best from the Griquas regions. Those guys that don't show promise but suddenly came out of nowhere and slipped through the cracks will end up at smaller unions when they will get picked up by FS.
