A True Story
In The Hatching Stefan Schutte relates the intriguing and true story of the Edgepoint Eagles FC at the Century City grounds in Cape Town, South Africa. As the club¿s founder, player-recruiter, first captain and statistician, Schutte has also moonlighted as team driver against the omnipresent sounds of Bruce Springsteen and later Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem.
The Edgepoint Eagles are an interesting and diverse team comprised mostly of men in their 30¿s and 40¿s - and a group of teenage boys. The Hatching delves into the roller-coaster of emotions and adventures that ensued as two of the older players, Piet and Christo tried to leverage the experience they had gained as distinguished club rugby players, to succeed at the much smaller and faster form of "the beautiful game".
Following the Edgepoint Eagles' dismal performances in their first few games, levels of disappointment and uncertainty grew. Triggered tensions increased as the team members found they had become the laughing stock of the leagues, their colleagues, and even some of their families.
Would their best players stick around long enough to ensure the sustainability of the team, or would they be forced to find new blood? And could they ever hope to achieve a more acceptable league standing? Grab your copy of The Hatching, Part 1 in Stefan Schutte's enthralling three-part sports series - you will be sure to enjoy the ride!
