Die o/12 Bloubulle kry 'n Viking! 🦅🏉

Baie geluk aan Jaco Oosthuizen wat gekies is vir die o/12 Bloubulspan as agtsteman!

Jaco bewys dat sukses nie per ongeluk kom nie. Na sy skitterende prestasie by laasjaar se Stoei SA’s, waar hy in sy gewigsklas 3 goud en 1 silwer ingepalm het, blink hy nou weereens uit op die rugbyveld.

Daar word gesê: "A great rugby player must combine explosive physical power with elite tactical awareness and unbreakable mental resilience." Jaco is die lewende bewys daarvan. Daardie elite-eienskappe word gevorm op die stoeimat, en hy voer dit perfek uit op die rugbyveld.

Jaco, die hele Vikings-familie staan bankvas agter jou. Jy is 'n ware kampioen op die mat én op die veld. Gaan wys vir hulle daardie Vikings-guts in die Bloubul-span! 🔥💪 💙🤼‍♂️

Trots op ons Vikings op én van die mat af! 🦅🤼‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Baie geluk aan ons eie Erich Horn wat gewys het dat daardie mat-fiksheid en absolute deursettingsvermoë vrugte afwerp op die landloopbaan.

Ons is ongelooflik trots om te sien hoe ons atlete ook buite die klub uitblink. Die dissipline, uithouvermoë en murg in die pype wat dit verg om op hierdie vlak in landloop mee te ding, is presies die eienskappe van 'n ware kampioen.

Baie geluk met hierdie besondere prestasie! Jy dra nie net jou skool se naam met trots nie, maar ook die Vikings-naam. Ons hou jou dop! 💪✨

🤼‍♂️ SAME MAT. SAME BLOODLINE. SAME PASSION. 🤼‍♂️

Vikings family, we have a massive story to share ahead of this Saturday’s 'Beast of the East' tournament!

One of our very own club dads, Chris Odendaal, is stepping back onto the competitive mat for the first time in more than 16 years! 🇿🇦✨

Many of you know Chris as a dedicated dad, but he and our Head Coach, Coach Martin, go way back. They used to grind on the same mats, wrestle side-by-side, and travel the world representing at the highest levels:

2005: Conquered the USA together 🇺🇸

2006: Traveled to Scotland for the Junior Commonwealth Games, where Chris brought home the Silver Medal! 🥈

2008: Competed at the African Championships in Tunisia, where Chris walked away with a phenomenal Bronze Medal! 🥉

Fast forward to today, and that fiery wrestling passion has officially passed down to the next generation. Chris is now sharing the mats with his two young sons—our very own bulletjie wrestlers, Handre (6) and Richan (4)! 🦏💪

🔥 Good Luck, Chris! 🔥
Chris, the entire Vikings family is standing right behind you this weekend. And just like old times, Coach Martin will be right there in you corner!

Let’s go show them what Viking blood is made of!

What a privilege! One of our very own wrestlers, James Mitchell (U11), is playing in the finals today at Midstream College for the 'Stadsbeker', representing Laerskool Hennopspark Amptelik against Laerskool Tygerpoort.

James has been an absolute powerhouse in the forward pack this season. There is no doubt that his wrestling training has given him the core strength, low centre of gravity, and fierce grit needed to dominate the breakdowns and make a humongous impact on the field, as noted by the commentator😁.

We are incredibly proud of you, James! Go out there, give it your all, and leave everything on the field. The whole Vikings family is backing you today! 🤼‍♂️🏉🏆
