Ferrum High hosted the annual KwaZulu-Natal Quadrangular Hockey Tournament over the weekend.
Struan Wade, who is a member of the organising committee, proudly announced that the Northern KZN teams dominated this year’s event in every division.
According to Wade, this is the first time the tournament was held at Ferrum since 2015. The construction of an AstroTurf may have been what gave the school the advantage to be selected as hosts.
The NKZN organising committee extended its gratitude to its sponsors for making the event possible, as well as to all the players who participated.
“The event went very well and we received great feedback on how well organised it was,” concluded Wade.
