NEWCASTLE KZN: Pionier ‘bends the knee’ for Volkies team
After halftime, fatigue set in and Pionier was found lacking in their defense.
Legendary baseball player, Babe Ruth once said: “It is hard to beat a person who never gives up.” This quote also describes the attitude of the boys first hockey team.
Ten spyte van hul nederlaag teen die voormalige Mpumalanga-kampioene vroeër in die week, het die seuns ware karakter getoon toe hul op Saterdag, 08 Mei 2021, teen Hoërskool Pionier te staan gekom het.
School Marketing Manager, Marietjie Steyn said Pionier won the toss and decided to start the match.
The first quarter saw both teams cautiously testing each other and the Volkies team adapted quicker to the situation and scored the first goal of the match.
“In die tweede kwart van die kragmeting het beide spanne tot in hul opponente se sirkel gevorder, maar kon weens verbete verdediging nie afrond nie.”
After halftime, fatigue set in and Pionier was found lacking in their defense. Volkies managed to score three goals in the allowed fifteen minutes leaving their opponents frustrated.
Pionier het ‘n verbete poging in die laaste kwart van die wedstryd aangewend, maar sonder sukses.
“Te midde van volgehoue verdediging het die VHS-span steeds daarin geslaag om ‘n laaste doel aan te teken en daardeur die oorwinning te beklink met ‘n finale telling van vyf doele teenoor nul.”
Omdat al die VHS-spelers aanskoulike dog gedissiplineerde hokkie gespeel het, was dit baie moeilik om ‘n speler van die wedstryd te kies.
Die eer is uiteindelik aan Ayanda Mahlangu toegeken vir sy toewyding ten tye van die wedstryd.
“Volksrust High School is very proud of these players and their coaches and congratulate them on a job well done,” she concluded.
