Crocks do it for ‘Vleis’

The Richards Bay Rugby Club Old Crocks travelled to Vryheid to do their bit for the Piet ‘Vleis’ Pretorius Benefit Day

Last Saturday saw the Richards Bay Old Crocks rugby team travel to Vryheid to tackle the Vryheid Old Crocks as part of a benefit day for Piet ‘Vleis’ Pretorius. Pretorius is a household name amongst local rugby fans and over the years he played on loan for each of the local teams in their more vital clashes. Unfortunately ‘Vleis’ is undergoing heart surgery at the end of the month and to assist with the medical expenses, the Zululand rugby fraternity have pulled together to assist. While the final amount raised is still being counted, it can be confirmed that a Bulls rugby jersey was sold three times on the day raising an amount of R37 000. A case of wine went for R7 000 and a number of private donations also made.
