IN a frenzy of fabulous skills, the SPAR KZN Raiders took the top honours in the 2020 Indoor Hockey Inter-Provincial Tournament held at Danville Park Girls’ High School which concluded on Saturday, 14 March.
From their very first game, the local team that has featured in the gold/silver medal game every year for the last decade, looked unstoppable. And in the main game of the tournament, their focus and determination were no different.
They met a young Western Province team who had to dig deep in their path to the finals. This was Province’s first appearance in two decades in an IPT indoor final.
The visitors however used up all their magic in the semi-final to get to the final where they just ran out of steam going down 6 nil to an impressive SPAR KZN Raiders team.
“I’m absolutely thrilled and so proud of my team. After a long build up and preparation all the hard work paid off and each-and-every girl stepped up. We always knew Western Province were going to be tough as we had previously lost to them in our build up phase, but we just clicked and were solid, clinical and played incredible hockey. Just a proud captain,” said Durban North resident and captain of the team, Cindy Hack.
Head coach, Calvin Price also added his congratulations to the KZN team.
“This was a fantastic final for the SPAR KZN Raiders. When it counted the ladies stepped up and showed their class. Not only scoring some amazing goals but for indoor to have a clean sheet, is a big achievement and to have one in a final is even more special. Well done to the team. Well deserved.”
