Not even the novelty of playing on astro turf could deter Stanford Lake College’s (SLC) first and second girls’ hockey teams from victory during a recent day of friendly matches hosted by Hoërskool Ben Vorster (Vossies).
The first girls’ team narrowly beat their hosts 4-3 while the second team could celebrate a 4-2 win. Vossies had the upper hand in the u.14 (4-1) and u.16 (1-0) girls’ matches while SLC’s 1st, second and u.15 boys lost 0-1, 0-5 and 1-2 respectively.
Rona McGaffin, marketer at the school commented that they were looking forward to inviting the Vossies for a similar day of sport at their own astro turf hockey field next year.
