The tournament hosted a talented and athletic group of U12 and U13 players over the two days. “The kids have got some decent skills that I am very impressed with, the fitness and the speed that some of these kids have been running at and their ability to shoot, I’ve been very impressed,” said Murray Hansen, the provincial chairperson for primary school hockey for Southern Gauteng.

“We are fortunate enough to be able to host it again this year, which is a great way to share the facilities with people and to show off the facilities that Fourways High School has and be able to welcome everybody here, it’s great to see the kids playing because they haven’t played in so long.”
