DIRK CLOETE JACKSON. (Diocesan College and Western Province) was born at Wynberg in 1886, and is one of the youngest members of the team. He is tall and well proportioned, and promises to fill out a lot and become a very big man. At present he stands 5 feet 11 inches in height, and weighs 11 stone 10 pounds. He was educated at Diocesan College, and has learned all his football there. Not alone did he have such players as Carolin, Boyes and Butler to study, but his elder brother Henry, one of the most finished halves in the Western Province of his day, taught him much of what he knows. He is very smart and nippy outside the scrum, gets the ball away quickly and cleverly, is a magnificent touch kick, kicking with great length, tackles resolutely, and is fast and dangerous when anywhere near the goal line. He first came into notice at "Bishops," when playing for the School Shield team in 1898, and gradually worked his way up through third and second team to the first team, for which he started playing in 1904 In his early days he played alternately at full back and three-quarter, where his ability in kicking stood him in good stead. In 1905 he came on a lot, and in 1906 he played so well that his Western Province Cap was a certainty. During the tour in England he learned a great deal; and towards the end of the tour he partnered Dobbin at half in all the important fixtures, for if not so brilliant as Carolin on the latter's best form, he was sounder and far more consistent. In addition to being a brilliant footballer, he is a good cricketer, giving great prominence with bat and ball, and he is one of the best middle distance runners in the Western Province, having won the half mile championship in 1905.

1867 - Port Elizabeth Cricket Club vs 86th Regiment ...
http://stgeorgespark.nmmu.ac.za/content/matches/displayarticle.asp?artid=local_002
On Saturday last a cricket match was played between the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club and the 86th Regiment, which resulted in a victory for the military by 25 runs on the first innings.
At 6.30pm, when the stumps were drawn, the 86th had four wickets to go down, and only 11 runs to make. The Port Elizabeth Cricket Club first handled the willow. Jackson and Chatfield started bowling (not quite so steadily as usual).
The latter was very difficult to play, as with one ball he endangered the life of "cover point," with the next he nearly smashed the "stumps" with a leg-shooter, none know this better than Jackson, who will carry the marks of that afternoon's amusement to his grave.
When six wickets had fallen, the Cocoa-nut Colt came on at the "pavilion" end, and succeeded in removing Solomon's off stump in the first over.
None reached high scores, the only ones who made any stand were Todd, Solomon, and W Smith. Todd was out of luck, but he has evidently not forgotten the glorious days of "Alfred Minn" and "Fuller Pilch."
The 86th commenced by sending in Captain Roe and Private Hall, the former rolled between the wickets quite as fast as the ball.
The Colts came next. Three wickets for 10 runs. C Jackson then appeared. Well, he did not play badly; but then he's a "Knickerbocker."
Chat followed; he's a "knick" too (and a very good one), but then "he don't like them little 'illocks" so frequently met with in South Africa.
Graham, Sergeant Conway, Huggard, Brown and Captain Brockman, shewed that they have seen cricket before; but we wish the latter gentlemen would handle the bat less like a marling spike.
In the second innings the Port Elizabeth Club came well to the front, and 93 appeared on the telegraph before they were disposed of.
Cumberland, Bowler, and Smith, played in capital form; Hudson and Chalmers also played a useful innings. The little one was out of luck, and his score was "tres pettit."
The 86th, in the second innings, scored 54 for the loss of six wickets. The only remarks worthy of note in this innings were, that Solomon and Cumberland were shying a "balloon" at him, that Ruck Jackson (with face and hands smeared with butter) had to be dosed with S and B on account of the heat of the sun, and that the Cocoanut Colt was hurt through wearing a ring on his finger: if people will wear rings!!! - but never mind!!
Earnest Mal Travers fielded for him, and it did one's heart good to see him in his old place asleep on one leg.
Well, the match was a very jolly one, although no one was found "under the table" after luncheon. The two Clubs have now won two matches apiece, and we think they may rest content.
"Africander" has proved that he has not degenerated under Afric's burning sun, and the indomitable spirit of the soldier has, and will again carry him through many a hard-fought field.
We are sure the 86th will never forget the homely welcome and kindly greeting they have received at the hands of all, and in time to come, when they may conjure up associations and the days of'auld lang syne," their stay at Port Elizabeth will revert to them as a bright gleam of sunshine in their path, and the remembrance of friendly faces will remain in their hearts long after the ship's a speck and the land's a line.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Alphen Farm, Constantia, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

Notes:

b4c2d2e8f1g2
The history of Alphen dates back to the early 18th century, when 5 morgen and 200 square roods of garden land were granted to Theunis VAN SCHALKWYK. More land was added over the years, until in 1765 it was consolidated into a single property some 16 morgen in extent. In 1850 Johannes Albertus MUNNIK bought the estate, and after his death in 1854, Dirk CLOETE acquired the estate.
The Cloete family of Alphen can be traced back to Dirk CLOETE who lived on the farm Nooitgedacht and farmed there until his death in 1833. Dirk's son married Anna Gesina BORCHERDS, and their only son married Reiniera Johanna VAN OOSTERZEE after which they moved to Alphen. Their descendants are known as the Alphen Cloetes.

Alphen has remained in Cloete family hands for over 150 years and today is owned by The Alphen Trust whose trustees administer the estate for the Cloete family.
