We are deeply saddened by the passing of Elzette Van Biljoen Gouws and Willem- Jacobus Gouws. You were both an integral part of the Panthers family since the beginning.

Elzette spent endless hours as a volunteer despite having her own work and family commitments. From ensuring that our players were all registered and ready to play, to washing dirty game shirts and freezing water bottles for those hot game days. She was such a caring and committed team manager always making sure that no-one missed out and snapping those action shots on the field.

When we needed help, Willem was always ready to step in. Whether it was offering lifts to the players or showing up to help with the stadium upgrades.

You both will be greatly missed and you leave a huge hole in our hearts. We will continue to look out for Ziaan and keep him close to the Panthers family.

Ziaan has a difficult road ahead and his family has set up a back a buddy page to help with his immediate needs. If you are able to contribute in any way, it would be appreciated https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/ziaan-gouws

End of the season a reason to celebrate!

UNDEFEATED and packed with memories that will last a lifetime! 🏉🔥 Our boys played Boksburg in the Finals and the result... 39-0 to Edenvale.

👏 Big shoutout to Coach Stephan – thank you for all the time, energy and heart you’ve given these lads. You’ve helped them grow so much this season (and kept the winning streak alive 😉)

🙌 To the parents – thank you for all the lifts, sideline support, and making sure the boys got to practices and games on time. You’re the real MVPs too!

💪 And to the Super Star gents – thank you for playing every game with passion, pride and heart. You’ve made us super proud and showed what Panthers rugby is all about! 🖤🐾

We tend to forget, it's not the trophies and the number of wins that matter, but what matters most is that the boys get to learn how to play this beautiful game and learn the life lessons that no other sport offers.
