A soccer match between Mike de Kock’s group of young grooms and old grooms was staged at Randjesfontein last week and Mathew de Kock filed this pre-match photograph.

Mathew (left of pic), led the youngsters to a 2-1 victory in this inaugural contest over the old ‘toppys’ led by farrier Peter “Slick” Dunias, who thought he was Jose Mourinho but failed a bit in his quest to overcome the young guns.

“My worry for the old guys was always that Peter Dunias would battle to drag his handbag around the pitch and lead a soccer team at the same time,” commented Mike de Kock.
