When it comes to power, precision, and pressure, CT Namibia knows the drill. But this time, the spotlight isn’t on hydraulic systems or pneumatic components; it’s on the rugby field. Specifically, the Namibian U16 Rugby team, with proud support from CT Namibia as one of the sponsors, brought both grit and colour to the VKB Rugby Week opener in Frankfort, South Africa.
Wearing their classic white and blue, now with a bold splash of CT’s signature black and yellow, the Namibian U16s started their campaign with a thundering 47-8 victory against the Zululand Impis. It wasn’t just a win, it was a statement.
Engineering Performance On and Off the Field
Why would a company known for its hydraulic components back a rugby team? The answer is simple: performance matters everywhere. Whether it’s a piston working under high pressure or a young player breaking through a defensive line, both require discipline, training, and support.
CT Namibia believes in investing in the future of our youth. Just like the components we supply, reliable, tough, and built to last, these athletes are putting in the groundwork to deliver under pressure. Our sponsorship is about more than logos and colours. It’s about creating opportunities and building a culture of excellence from the workshop to the sports field.
A Winning Start for Namibia
The boys came out swinging at the Hoërskool Wilgerivier Stadium, scoring eight tries to one, and securing a dominant opening-round win. After leading 10–8 at halftime, the Namibians kicked into gear in the second half, outpacing their opponents with relentless energy and teamwork.
Try scorers included Dian Delport, Bradley Beukes, Keanan Abraham, Chase van Wyk, Wynand Olivier, Jayden Mostert, and Jaydrian Jansen, who crossed the line twice and earned the Man of the Match title. Van Wyk added the only successful conversion, but by then, the scoreline had already told the story.
This win puts Namibia in a strong position as they head into their next game. While they’ll no doubt celebrate this result, they’re already focused on the challenges ahead, just like any good engineer after a solid build.
Supporting Future Champions
CT Namibia’s support extends beyond branding. We’re behind these young athletes with the same commitment we give to our clients across the industrial and engineering sectors. Whether you’re maintaining hydraulic systems in remote mining regions or designing high-performance machinery, we understand that consistent support yields long-term results.
Just as this team trains to perform at their best on the field, CT Hydraulics works with maintenance professionals, engineers, and OEMs to keep hydraulic and pneumatic systems functioning efficiently under pressure. The parallels between sport and engineering aren’t just philosophical; they’re practical.
Not Just U16s: Full Team Support
The Namibian rugby effort didn’t stop at the U16 level. The U13 team edged out Zimbabwe 16–15 in their opening game at the Graven Week in East London, while the U18 team faced a tough start, falling 31–10 to the Free State Eagles.
These results, while varied, reflect Namibia’s growing presence and potential in youth rugby, a movement that CT Namibia is proud to be part of. Whether in a tight game or under a heavy load, performance counts.
Investing in Tomorrow’s Talent
At CT Hydraulics Namibia, we understand that building strong systems, whether mechanical or human, takes time, knowledge, and the right support. Our partnership with the Namibian youth rugby teams is part of our broader commitment to shaping a future for youth that we can all be proud of. One where our name isn’t just associated with quality hydraulic products, but also with uplifting the next generation.
So yes, we’ve added a bit of black and yellow to the team’s iconic white and blue. But more importantly, we’ve added our belief in their potential, and we’re excited to see where that leads.
