    Dis nie aldag dat jou pa jou afrigter is en boonop dieselfde posisie as jy gespeel het nie. Hierdie rare geval speel hom in die Steinhoff Koshuisliga af waar pa Sias van Rensburg die afrigter van Steinhoff Villagers (Pukke) is waar sy seun (Sarel) die vasskop stut van die span is.
    Sias brei Villagers die afgelope twee waar Sarel al vier jaar vir die eerstespan uitdraf. Sias rig sy 23-jarige seun al sedert nege-jarige ouderdom af.
    “Ja ek is nou al 18 jaar in die afrigting betrokke en het al begin afrig toe ek self nog gespeel het.
    “Ek het tot op ouderdom 46 nog op stut uitgedraf, so jy kan sien ek het ‘n groot passie vir die spel.
    “Daarom rig ek verskeie spanne af,” het die 52-jarige Sias gesê aan varsitycup.co.za.

    Deel 2
    Volgens hom is dit ‘n groot voorreg om sy seun onder hande te neem en geniet hy dit baie. Hy sê Sarel kry geen voorkeurbehandeling bo die ander spelers in die Villagers-span nie.
    “Trouens, ek is soms seker bietjie ekstra hard op hom. Maar ons het ‘n baie goeie verhouding en is beste pêlle. “Ongelukkig skree ons net nie vir dieselfde span nie. Hy (Sarel) is ‘n Shark en ek ondersteun die Cheetahs.”
