Soccer vs Rhenish
Waking up extra early on a Saturday morning does not make most people very excited, but our Soccer girls got up and got ready to play their first ever match against Rhenish with excitement. This game was a way of putting themselves to the test – to use their training and the skills they had been learning. Soccer has generally been considered a social sport, but with the recent increase in support and interest, there is the possibility of it being made an official team sport. The girls who were involved in the match, played with heart and tenacity and although they lost to Rhenish, it was worth it for the experience they gained. A huge thank you to the parents who came out to Stellenbosch to cheer them on – your support is very encouraging. By Nicole Oosthuisen
