Living Legends Show Their Class at Final Two Events

Although the Pro Series officially ended in Stilbaai, the Four Cousins Hot Summer of Touch moved further up the coast ending in Hartenbos after a succesful leg in Mossel Bay at the Diaz Beach Resort.

The competition was tough at both events with the Two a Transport Warriors and Reds coming to both the final 2 events. This coupled with a host of strong local teams provided a brilliant platform for some great touch action.

After a tough day at Diaz, the final was contested by the Legends and TAT Warriors and true to form on the series thus far, both teams gutzed it out ending level after full time. What then transpired was a remarkable Sudden Death period which lasted 18 minutes of 3 v 3. The soft sand, angled playing surface and 16 sets of tired legs meant neither side could make a breakthrough and with the tide fast approaching, the Legends finaly broke the deadlock to take what would then be there 4th Title of the year. The final score was 2 – 1.

The highlight of the Diaz event is always the Winners v The Rob Louw invitational and this year was no different with the Legends taking on the likes of Rob Louw, Vlok Celliers, Joe Pietersen and new Flyhalf sensation Jean Goosen, eventually coming out comfortable 2 – 0 winners.

Hartenbos proved to be the best attended event of the series with 56 teams turning up to take their chances on the grass of the ATKV amphitheatre.

The final was once again contested between the Legends and the Two a Transport Warriors. After an extremely tight game and in litterally the final move of the game the Legends took the crown.

The day was a great success with a huge crowd being kept entertained by resident HSOT MC and surf Guru Deon Bing as well as his Afrikaans counterpart Paul Jordaan.

The Series overall was a great success with perfect weather at pretty much all the beaches…Thank you to all the players and supporters. Dates and venues for 2012 will be anounced in due course!

Living Legends Are The Champions!

On a day which looked like heavy rains and howling winds would be the order of the day, the only thunderstorms came from the Living Legends.

The Strand outfit dominated proceedings from start to finish with a commanding display of speed and skill which ultimately won them the sought after title of Stilbaai Champions as well as the overall Four Cousins Hot Summer of Touch Champions.

The former “Maynardt Touchies” were overall the most consistent team reaching 4 of the 5 finals this season. They were made to work very hard for their win with an exciting semi final “Sudden Death” win over the chasing Two a Transport Warriors who could actually have tied the series had they have beaten the Legends in the Semi Final and gone on to win the Final.

Conditions for Touch were perfect after heavy rains the previous 24 hours and after a slow start in the morning, the traditional big Stilbaai Crowds made it through for a great day!

An exciting highlight of the day was the Quali Dwergie Legends who produced an age defying display of skill and experience to beat the Tribal Kingz in the final of the Open Series 3-2. The Plate was won by the Warriors who beat the other guys by 4-3.

The action now moves to Diaz Beach in Mossel Bay on Wednesday
