HOCKEY

Congratulations to the following RGHS U14A hockey players on being selected to represent the Southern Titans as the Cape Town representatives at the Eastern Gauteng HJ Winter Cup to be held from 26-29 August in Johannesburg; Isla Barbour; Leah Hofmeyr; Tatum Malherbe. We wish them a wonderful tournament and safe travels.

Hockey vs Fairmont

20 August marked the resumption of hockey fixtures, during what has been another topsy-turvy season for matches. On a beautiful Friday afternoon, we played against a strong Fairmont outfit, with matches being played across 2 venues, to limit the number of visitors at either school. This was only our fourth game of the season, and it was wonderful to get out and play an inter-school fixture. Some good hockey was played, and we were able to witness some great goals scored. Thank you to Fairmont High School for making these matches possible.
