Some Recent Events
Titans Rugby participates in many events which range from festivals, national and international tours, sevens and 15-a-side tournaments, as well as training clinics.
Have a look at some of our recent events:
First rugby clinic of the year. Some awesome sessions with specialist coaches and some great knowledge sharing. Nice and long session ahead of the pre-season. Boys looking sharp and ready. Best part was to introduce some of the new coaches that will be joining Titans Rugby this year. Going to be another big year!
Memorable tour with 19 games in 8 days. Titans securing 16 wins and playing some of the best opposition Ireland has to offer. Add to this, the outings of training at the Irish Rugby Academy, Dublin Tour, Yoga on the Beach and even getting to watch the mighty Leinster at the Aviva Stadium. This was a tour that will always be remembered.
A first for Titans Rugby, it what could of been the hardest game of the year to date. The u16 age group of 2019, split into two groups. Those from State (public) schools versus those from Independent (Private) schools in the All Stars game of 2019. In a day that saw some great skilled competitions and fun saw a very competitive and attacking game of rugby on display in which the state School team edged the Independent to take the first of many to follow. On a side note, all proceedings of the day went to our supporting charity for the year, Tries for Lives.
On an annual basis, Titans Rugby will play a series of matches against he Blue Bulls IPT Teams in preparation for their upcoming IPT Tournament. This year, Titans Rugby hosted our friends from Pretoria at Marks Park (home of Titans Rugby) and enjoyed a wonderful day of intense and entertaining rugby with some very close score lines. Definitely an event that everyone looks forward to year every year.
Titans Rugby accepted an invitation to partake in the GLRU Club 7s, hosted by Hoerskool Alberton, ahead of the club IPT trails. It proved to be a great day with the team winning all their games against some great opposition.
After three games vs provincial teams, the Titans u16s, playing some dominating rugby, lifted the trophy as 2019 u16 VKB Rugby Week Winners. Results; v Leopards 61-0 v Griffons 66-3 v Eastern Province 46-22 A huge congrats to the team and a massive thank you to all the parents, supporters and sponsors who were part of this journey.
After four tough games, the Titans u13s placed 2nd and runners-up at the 2019 u13 VKB Rugby Week. Winning 2 games, drawing one and losing in the final by one point. A great achievement, taking into account the short period of time this group has been together, onward and upwards from here. Results (Titans score first); v Western Cubs 26-26 v Verwes 29-7 v Pirates 40-7 v KOSH 21-22 A huge congrats to the team and a massive thank you to all the parents, supporters and sponsors who were part of this journey.
Three very tough games in the u15 Rhino Rugby Week really put our u15 Titans Rugby to the test. Some tough rugby and some great match development for the players involved.
Our u18 7s team placed 4th in the world at the recent Paris World Games. A great tour and a great team. Big things yet to come. Besides from the Rugby, the team got to eat while on a river cruise, visit Disney Euro, tour Paris and even play some touch rugby under the Eiffel Tower.
Great day out with some specialized coaches doing what they do and enhancing skill development and awareness in each player’s position. Thank You to De La Salle Holy Cross College for hosting. A Big Thank You to the great coaches who made time to come down yesterday, valuable knowledge being passed on. Vlok Cilliers, AJ VD Blerk, Alex Verissimo, Tommy Dreyer, Gregan Kirkham, Henriel Coetzee and JP Olivier
A fantastic tour, Titans saw their u13s win the tournament for their age group. u15s won the plate final and u17s the bowl final. Besides from the rugby, the boys got to tour the Benfica Stadium, tour the city of Lisbon and play additional friendlies. What a great experience.
Total of 16 games in 10 days played Won 13 of the 16 games Scored 549 pts in total. Best part or greatest highlight of tour – being told by every team, person, adult, server and anyone we interacted with, how well mannered the boys were.
