u16B vs Khayelitsha

On Wednesday, 17 June our u16B team played against a community team from Khayelitsha. Many of the boys from Khayelitsha looked as if they should be playing at u14 level, but they showed such determination. Their coach, Gloria Baartman said, "The boys just want to play hockey. It doesn't matter what the age."

There was juice for all the players at half time and, at the end of the match, juice to take home for our opponents. The boys from Khayelitsha also received a small towel and a beanie in their team colours.

It was good to see so many parents supporting the team at a mid-week game. All in all an enjoyable afternoon was spent on and around the hockey field.

The score: 0 - 0 draw
