THE inaugural Belgotex Sport Kearsney Hockey 5s Tournament which took place this weekend was the first major 5s tournament on the South African schools’ calendar.
Hosts, Kearsney College, won the high schools’ event on Sunday 20 August, followed by local team Glenwood in second place and St Andrews from Bloemfontein in third place.
Based on a new international hockey format offering a fast-paced, high-intensity equivalent of the game, this new format has been introduced by the Federation of International Hockey to grow the sport.
It’s a simplified version of the traditional 11-a-side game, fielding five players a side, on half the regulatory sized hockey pitch, with an addition of boundary walls.
In addition to the high schools’ tournament was one with primary schools: Bonisanani Senior Primary, Ashton, Chelsea Prep, Curro HCA, Glenwood Prep, Highbury, Hillcrest Primary, Pelham, Reddam Umhlanga, Umhlali Prep, Westville Senior Primary and Winston Park.
