Crawford shine in first regionals
Crawford College finish fifth at SPAR KZN Schoolgirls' Hockey Challenge.
IN their first appearance, Crawford College La Lucia representing the Durban North Region at the SPAR KZN Schoolgirls’ Hockey Challenge finished a fantastic fifth overall.
The newcomers were drawn in Pool B where they took on top teams Durban Girls’ College (DBN Central Regional Winners) and St Anne’s College (PMB North Regional Winners) as well as travelling teams Felixton College from Richards Bay (North Coastal Regional Winners) and Wartburg Kirchdorf School (Umvoti, uThukela and Umzinyathi Regional Winners).
Crawford eventually battled it out for the fifth place positional game after some good results in the round robin stages. Here they met Kokstad College. Jess Brown netted two for her team and Georgia Vorster added in one giving their team a well crafted 3 nil victory and memorable start to their Grand Final stats.
“It was an incredible experience that was combined with a professional environment on and off the field. Everything ran like clock work and the standard of hockey was great! Massive thank you to SPAR and the organising committee,” said Justin Collins, coach for Crawford.
The overall tournament was won by St Mary’s DSG, who took the title of the 2019 SPAR KZN Schoolgirls’ Hockey Challenge champs for the fifth time in a 1 nil win against St Anne’s College.
