Pearson and Die Brandwag fight for their final victory of 2023
As Pearson and Die Brandwag finish off their 2023 season, they will both be looking for a win on Saturday.
Pearson is leading the charge with 11 victories so far this year.
In their last fixture against Parel Vallei, they managed a solid 38-12 victory.
In June, they took the win over Daniel Pienaar at 48-17.
When Die Brandwag encountered Daniel Pienaar last week, Daniel Pienaar secured a 20-13 victory.
In their three most recent match ups, in 2018, 2019 and 2022, Die Brandwag was undefeated.
In 2022, it was extremely close, ending at 20-19.
Despite previous successes, with Pearson’s performance this year, Die Brandwag will have to fight if they want to continue this streak.
Nico Malan and Framesby will take the field together on Saturday to end off their 2023 season.
Nico Malan will be aiming for their 5th consecutive win and their 13th this year.
They took a massive victory over Die Brandwag on the 5th of August, ending the game at 59-3, and defeated Hoërskool Punt 31-7 this past weekend.
