Hockey
This season’s first league matches were played at RGHS on 5 and 6 May. We hosted a determined Stellenberg outfit. Loadshedding played its part in ensuring that we had to postpone two of our fixtures to a later date yet to be confirmed.
It turned out to be a tough weekend for our “A” teams, but the rest of the teams impressed with great displays of the quality in depth we are blessed to have.
A special mention to the U14C team who played against Cannons Creek’s U14A team and managed to get a great result.
Please see results vs Stellenberg below.
