The first team Girls Hockey has had a successful
season. We participated in a Cape town tournament
at Fairmont High school, where we faced some very

EP side, Nicky Veto who made the u18A EP side,
Caitlin Wenlock who made the u16B EP side and
Tirene Hatzidarellis who made the u16A EP side.
Nicky Veto went on to make the South African B
side and we are all very proud of her.

Pearson, where we narrowly went down 1-0. Some
highlights of the first half of the season were wins
against Westering, 2-1 and a 5-0 win against Brandwag. Unfortunately we went down to Woodridge (03) and Union (0-2) as well.
The second half of the season, was a very positive
half, where the girls bravely took on Collegiate and
despite a great performance by the girls, went down
0-2. We beat Riebeck 2-0, Victoria Girls 2-0 and
Willow Academy 16-0. The highlight of the season,
however, has got to be the 1-0 win over Alexander

that our captain, Dee Kotze, slotted in the winning
P-flick.
On a provincial level, we had Courtney Every, who
