What do you like about False Bay?
The loyalty that the players, current and ex, show towards their club. It’s a testament to the club culture that has developed throughout the years
Why the Bay?
I grew up spending my Saturdays at Constantia Tennis Club, climbing the fence to watch the games. That progressed to becoming a ball boy so there was never any other club I was going to join.
What attracted you to the Bay and what keeps you here?
The people.
Best Bay rugby moment?
Scoring a hat trick on my debut at wing for the 2nd team under Kurt Botha
