FNB Varsity College had a season to remember on their debut FNB Varsity Shield campaign after they finished as the 2024 competition’s runners-up. Spearheading this success were some of their key players such as their fly-half, a promising rising star, Frederick Marx who put in some decisive performances for his side on the pitch.
The 21-year-old flyhalf has promised to put in an extra shift and continue being exemplary for his team this year.
“This year marks a defining chapter in my journey—my final year of junior rugby. My goal is to push myself to be the absolute best, both on and off the field. I want to be a teammate that others can always rely on. I’m determined to lead by example, inspiring those around me with hard work, dedication, and a positive attitude,” said Marx.
“This year is about more than just personal success; it's about lifting up my team, helping everyone grow, and leaving a legacy of leadership and unity.”
A big season is on the cards this year for FNB Varsity College, particularly as they are tipped as one of the strong contestants in the competition as it stands.
Despite already collecting a handful good points for his team through his kicking abilities, Marx admitted that more work is required from him.
“Kicking plays such an important role in rugby—it can truly be the difference-maker in a game. A well-executed kicking game can turn the tide, and I aim to master that skill to help my team succeed,” he said.
“I believe the key to our success lies in focusing on ourselves and perfecting our system. If we commit to doing that, we’ll become a team that’s tough to beat. When we all buy into the process, trust each other, and stay disciplined, there’s no limit to what we can achieve. We need to stay focused, trust the plan, and let our actions speak for themselves. Together, we will be unstoppable,” said Marx.
