It’s that time of the year again and entering the tournament’s 14th year, dates for the 2024 SPAR KZN Schoolgirls’ Hockey Challenge have been announced.
The tournament that began in 2011 has fast become a firm favourite for young hockey players. Close to 75 girls’ first teams from high schools around KwaZulu-Natal will take to the various hockey fields to compete in the compact and exciting 10 regionals in the build-up to the Grand Finals that take place in July.
The much-anticipated schoolgirls’ annual hockey challenge kicks off the first tournament at the Durban Central Regional on March 2 at Durban High School’s impressive blue astro turf – a new venue for this regional.
The regionals will continue right through March to May, with the penultimate tournament, the uMvoti and oThukela Regional, travelling to Greytown High on May 4. Wrapping up the 10 regionals, the KZN Northern Regional commences at Ferrum Hoërskool in Newcastle on May 11. Two schools from Vryheid also participated in last year’s event and delivered brilliant results.
All the regional champions will head to the tournament’s exciting conclusion – the Grand Finals. The top 10 teams will take to the turf at St Mary’s DSG in Kloof on July 20 and 21.
Offering a lucky hockey player a golden opportunity, Eta College will be joining forces with the SPAR KZN Schoolgirls’ Hockey Challenge to award a one-year bursary at the Durban Campus.
