Grey PE lock Martin Groenewald broke his leg in a tackle during Saturday’s game against Grey Bloem. Groenewald was taken to Bloemfontein Mediclinic and operated upon immediately. Grey High coach Rory Duncan said the operation was a success. “I spoke to Martin’s father this morning and it seems the operation was a success. We are now awaiting feedback from the doctors to see just how long it will take for him to recover. If all goes well he should be discharged [today],” Duncan said yesterday.

He said assistant coach Tim Fraser had seen Groenewald after the operation. “Tim says he was in a certain amount of pain but it was slightly alleviated by the fact that he had 20 Collegiate girls next to his hospital bed.”

Well, I’m always well, very positive and trying to fight it.

You’re going out there to raise awareness of this disease?

Ja, we’re going worldwide. An MND person tends to go into hiding. There’s no reason for it. You are still alive. Live your life and have fun.
