Hockey
Hockey vs Fairmont & DF Malan
Following a busy and productive pre-season, our league season got underway with matches against Fairmont.
Fiercely contested matches were played throughout the weekend, with every game being won and lost by the odd goal.
Shortly before our travels to Potchefstroom to take part in the National All Girls’ Festival, we welcomed DF Malan for our second league matches of the season. It is always a tough encounter welcoming teams from the Northern Suburbs, and this proved to be no different.
Our next matches are against Durbanville High School and Springfield Convent Senior School, and we are hopeful that the preparation for these matches will serve us well.
