Super Fans make an appearance at Makhaya's 100th Test Match

The Castle Super Fans attended what is bound to be a phenomenal test match yesterday. Not only was it the opening day of the first test between the Proteas and England, but it was Makhaya Ntini’s 100th Test Match for South Africa.


The Fans where out in full force to support not only Makhaya on his day, but also the rest of the Proteas squad as they took to the field. The songs where sung, the Castles where drunk and a good time was had by all, even if the sun was baking hot on the day.

The Super Fans themselves where very pleased to be able to share in an experience away from what they are used to. They spent much of the mo9rning session debating the rules of the game and whether to cheer or not for particular actions. After the debate, it ended with “anything that goes over the white rope”, the fans took the afternoon by storm and on several occasions instigated a Mexican wave in the stadium, or tried to at least.

On behalf of the Castle Super Fans and Castle Lager Congrats Makhaya! It has been an amazing innings and its not over yet!

Nqaba Makaya!

Super Fans on the down low

It has been a while since the last Castle Super Fan activity, but you need not worry! The Castle Super Fans will be back very soon with much more to offer than ever before! In the meantime you can purchase your Super Fan Cans and show your support for your favorite Super Fan.

To keep us all going though here are come more Super Fan images...

Castle Lager Penalty Shootout!

Five lucky Castle Super Fans had the opportunity to shoot for cash at the Bafana vs. Japan game in PE last weekend. Our five fans where up against the legendary Andre Arendse. The competition was one where there would be no losers, for every goal scored against Andre our fans would receive R20 000 while every save that Andre made would allow him to donate R20 000 to a charity of his choice.


The competition was adjudicated by non other than Sylvester Ndaba, himself a retired FIFA official. Under his watchful eye and that of the packed to the rafters Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium our Super Fans attempted to put the ball through Andre.

After a dreadful first kick and a Save by Andre the Castle Fans managed to put three goals past the ex Bafana Bafana Goalkeeper, earning themselves R60 000. But as i said there would be no losers in this competition with the rest of the cash from Andre’s sterling performance going to charity.

Well done all on a fantastic Castle Shoot Out!

Castle Lager Kick For Cash

The Castle Lager Kick For Cash went off with a Bang in PE! Well done to our Super Fans that put 3 goals past Andre Arendse. The Former choice goalkeeper was in spectacular form saving for a few for charity and denying a 5 nil grubbing.

Completing the Shoot

Well done to the Castle Lager Superfans!

The Castle Superfans have completed the TVC shoot and what a shoot it was. The first day of shooting started at 6am and only wrapped at 11pm. While the week that followed was just as daunting, all involved are extremely happy with the outcome.

The initial signs are looking good for another great Castle Lager advert. It’s now up to the directors to turn the Superfans into TV superstars!

Cheers!

Our Superfans on the first day of the shoot...

After an early start Castle is proud to say that the Castle Superfans are once again proving their metal. Today was of course the first day of the television commercial shoot.


There were 2 locations on todays shoot schedule; the first was in a tavern in Turfontein, whilst the other was a discreet location Orlando to be revealed later. Without giving too much away before the advert is launched both locations are going to be very vibrant scenes…

Some pictures from the shoot detail just what the guys got up to.
