Lambie takes top player award
Cape Town – Vodacom Western Province coach Allister Coetzee and The Sharks centre Patrick Lambie on Wednesday received the Absa Coach and Player of the Month awards at a ceremony held in Cape Town.
Coetzee’s side are currently in first position on the Absa Currie Cup log with 18 points. They are also two points ahead of The Sharks. WP are currently enjoying an impressive run this season and are the only undefeated side in the competition.
Province secured away victories over the Vodacom Free State Cheetahs and the Platinum Leopards and also achieved home wins over the Xerox Lions and the Barloworld Toyota Pumas.
The Absa Currie Cup Coach and Player of the Month competition, which will run during the course of the competition, rewards players who have consistently performed during each month of South Africa’s domestic competition. Coaches are also honoured on a monthly basis for their contribution to their team’s consistent performances.
“It’s a great privilege and an honour to receive this kind of recognition,” said Coetzee.
“However I must admit that rugby is a team sport and I firmly believe that my nomination has everything to do with the on-field performances of Vodacom Western Province. As a team, we continuously strive for consistency. We’ve got a tough game in Kimberley this weekend against the GWK Griquas and it is vital that we maintain our form in going forward.
“Our current position on the Absa Currie Cup log is a direct result of all the effort being put in by the players and management. I would like to thank the judges for nominating me as the Absa Currie Cup coach of the month. I won this award for the Absa Coach of the Month in September last year.”
Lambie represented the SA Under-20s during the 2010 IRB Junior World Championship in Argentina earlier this year and has been in excellent form for The Sharks during the Absa Currie Cup. He is currently the fifth leading points’ scorer in the Absa Currie Cup Premier Division with 36 points. WP’s Willem de Waal is leading the list with 65.
“I feel extremely proud and privileged to be the Absa Currie Cup Player of the Month for July,” said The Sharks centre.
“I have been enjoying my rugby of late and it’s really awesome that I have been recognised with an award like this.
“However, rugby is a team sport and without the other Sharks players on the field around me I would not have been able to achieve this award. It has been a good start to the Absa Currie Cup for The Sharks, and hopefully we can go from strength to strength in the weeks to come.”
Lambie was also the second leading points’ scorer at the Junior World Champs with 75, seven behind New Zealand U20 flyhalf Tyler Bleyendaal.
I’m not so sure about this guy, he started his career well and then seems to have vegitated for the last 4 years or so, maybe the Sharks will bring out the best in him….like always.
Ag my fekking hel….kan al my Vrystatertjies ophou oorloop na ander spanne toe….ek meen, wat het Natal wat die Vrystaat nie het nie? 🙂 Damm veraaiers!!
PS…ek weet die laaitie is in Riversdale gebore, maar ek is net lus vir moan 🙂
Ag, Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of Lambie. What a huge talent and born and bred from Natal. Have a lump in my throat. So, so proud of our youngster.
Well done Lambie all the very best.
Also well done to Allister Coetzee who should really have been coaching the Boks now. Proud of both of them.
Good luck Meyer Bosman you joined a great franchise and your live style here in Durbs is just awesome. No wonder so many come here to the Sharks. 29 here today and that is the day temp in winter and night is 17 tonight. Ag, we have such a brilliant winter more like a warm summer. The place to be for sure.
Puma that 29 degree heat got to you, moer AC was the most hated assistant in Jakes days.
Ouenes…check hierdie video uit….
wys hoe daai damm NZ’ders cheat
@ bos_otter:…sulke bliksmes..waar is die site admin ouens….post daai video as n besprekings punt asb 🙂
@ superBul:Nah, Super no weather has got to me. AC done his time and was assistant coach to Jake, he SHOULD have got the Bok job ahead of PdV. Feel for him, such a gent too and speaks so well. He has done wonders with Province and NO-ONE must tell me it is Rassie no-one. AC deserves credit.
Yip, my friend 29 day temp and it is winter buddy. This is sure the place to be. No wonder so many of the Bloem players don’t even give a think about it and come here to play their rugby. Awesome place to be and the beach is right on their door step. 😀
Remember during the world cup. The solgan during the world cup. Durban the warmest place to be!!!! Yip they were right. We hardly really have a winter. Probably not. Eat your heart out brothers………hehehehehe.
Think that what brings so many Free State players here. The weather and life style. Also only a few hours drive back to visit their parents. Makes one think.
With that I am out. Enjoy your evening everyone. Really enjoying the CC. We must have the best domestic tourney in the world.
Catch up tomorrow.
@ superBul:Super….hey jy na daai video link gekyk?

Sorry friend , you wont get me to believe that. Eddie saved hit butt. And with all the money spend to buy a team , yes by the Boss Rassie , no silverware yet. Absolutely no way that i believe he is the man. Nienaber a great import by Rassie is keeping the opponents from scoring against WP. Remember also how few tries they scored in the S14.
No my friend look at Rassie and his structures and lights 😆
@ bos_otter:
internet super slow hier ek kyk nog hoe hy aflaai.
Ek weet nie hoe om videos te plaas nie , GBS sal maar moet. As hy dit nie weer despicable vind nie. Hy hou nie daarvan dat ons so kerm nie. Hy is heel tevrede met die ABs se game.
@ superBul:ok Super…ek verstaan…ek wil nie die onrus vure stook nie, maar kyk die video wanneer jy kan.
@ bos_otter:
Gekyk en weer van voor af de moer in. Maar daar kom niks van ons ongelukkigheid nie, niks.
@ superBul:..ek stem saam…gun wonder ons ouens beging dan hulle cool verloor nie……..sulke fekking etters
ok almal….I’m out. Lekker slaap
Wat my kwaai teleurstel is die feit dat ons reeds beleerde span so deur sy eie ondersteuners afgekraak was. As ons n fair ref gehad het het ons in die 43ste minuut voorgeloop en nie toe 7 punte aan die ander kant afgestaan nie. Dan ook sou die ABs sonder hul kaptein 10 minute gewees het wat ons totaal onder hulle sou laat uittrek het.
Ek praat van daai terugveg van 13-3 tot n baie moontlike 14-13. Ons het toe gekook.
Congrats to Lambie and Coetzee.
Lambie is a rising star, his quality in undeniable, and he seems to have more time to make descisions on the field than most other players.
Would like to see him play 10, it is his prefered position. If he wants to be a serious contender at 10, he would have to work on his goal kicking. But he is young, so he have time on his side.
