Lions player, Henco van Wyk was
recognised as the third Coca-Cola Hero of the Day for the 2018 U18 Coca-Cola®
Craven Week taking place at Paarl Boys High.
The prestigious Coca-Cola Hero of the Day
award is presented on each day of the tournament in recognition of a game
changing ‘hero’ moment. Henco was
selected for the award by a Coca-Cola appointed Hero of the Day Panel, led by
Springbok legend Akona Ndungane.
In an epic match between two of the
strongest teams, Henco timed his run perfectly for him to receive a pass from
his flyhalf that assisted him in hitting the Western Province backline at full
pace. At this critical moment, the opponents could not stop him from bursting
through and scoring a try.
“It is a privilege for me to win the
Coca-Cola Hero of the Day award in such a challenging match, we really worked
well as a team today and their assistance gave me a chance to score the try,”
said Henco.
“Today’s Coca-Cola Hero of the Day was
given to Henco due to the timing and the type of try that he scored for his
team. Western Province were the favourites to win today and since he scored the
first try of the match, the opposing team had to work extra hard to win the
match!’ shared Akona.
