A full day of hockey gets underway at the Durban Central Regional of the SPAR KZN Schoolgirls’ Hockey Challenge at 3 Schools’ Trust Astro on Sunday 16 April.
Durban Girls’ High School will host the regional that features seven schools, including the hosts. The programme tips off at 8am, with 21 action packed games expected in a round robin format. Games will last 18 minutes one way, with a win netting the victorious team 4 points, a draw with goals ups their scorecard by 2 points, a goalless draw increases their tally by 1 point and a loss registering zero points.
Eye firmly on the ball, Durban Girls’ College players Georgina Stephenson and Jenna Reardon are eager to participate in the upcoming Durban Central Regional of the SPAR KZN Schoolgirls’ Hockey Challenge that Durban Girls’ High School will be hosting at 3 Schools Trust Astro on Sunday 16 April.
This region has been dominated by one school, Durban Girls’ College, which is the only team in the ten regions and in the history of the tournament to have a 100% regional winning streak. Not only is College the defending regional champions, but they also hoisted the trophy at the Grand Finals last year. They will come up against tough competition in this regional where they will face host Durban Girls’ High School.
In the quest for the title, joining the two Durban Girls’ teams are Inanda Seminary School; INK Schools; Maris Stella College; Port Natal School and St Henry’s Marist College.
The winner of the Durban Central Regional will join Danville Park Girls’ High School (DBN North Regional), St Mary’s DSG (Highway Regional) and the winner of the Durban South Regional that is being played the day before the Durban Central Regional, at the Grand Finals that will take place at St Mary’s DSG in Kloof on the 22nd and 23rd of July.
