The mini tournament took place at the Randburg Astroturf – Southern Gauteng Hockey Association.
According to Finley who is the founder of F.W Academy, the girls who participated in this provincial tournament were between the ages of 13 and 17 years old.
“We played three games and won 3-0 /4-0 /0-0. We didn’t make for finals unfortunately because of goal advantage. The team that made it won all 3 games in the one stream.
“I just want to say thank you to Mervin Mooi and his team for coordinating such programmes for our youth,” said Watson.
There were about 300 young ladies in the tournament and the regional trials are said to take place in Benoni on June 25 where F.W Academy will also be participating.
