FRIDAY, 1.00PM:
NORTHERN Transvaal rugby supporters will elect a committee to fight for the sacking of John Williams as coach and Hentie Serfontein as president of the Northern Transvaal Rugby Union on Friday. The supporters have been unhappy with the team’s recent performance.
Dannie Coetzee, one of the organisers, said a march has been planned for next Friday night’s Bankfin Currie Cup match between Northern Transvaal and Boland at Loftus Versveld. “We will carry placards asking for the top structure to go,” he said.
Coetzee said they have support because they spoken to hundreds of people and they all feel the same.
“We want to get a big crowd to demand the resignations,” he said. “We have the support of season tickets holders, suite owners, former players and even five senior players.”
He said they can no longer tolerate seeing their side being the laughing stock of the country.
