KAROO NUUS - In a carbon copy of last year, DSG defeated Kingswood in the final of the SPAR Eastern Cape Schoolgirls Hockey Challenge in Graaff-Reinet on Sunday, 5 March.
Even the scoreline of 1-0 in the Gqeberha North regional tournament decider at Union High mirrored last year’s result between the two adversaries.
Tournament director Matt Blair said the final – played over 20 minutes – was a fitting culmination to the day’s competition as it produced “some exceptional hockey”.
In the one half of the draw, DSG proved too strong for their opponents and comfortably qualified for the tournament decider.
In the other pool, Kingswood were given a proper examination by Graaff-Reinet school, Hoër Volkskool, who produced their best effort of the day to hold them to a 1-1 draw.
The Makhanda side, however, won their remaining two matches while Volkskool played to another draw, 0-0 against Victoria Girls’, which cemented Kingswood’s place in the final.
