U/18 Interprovincial Tournament
During the recent school holidays – from the 16th to the 22nd of June – Jenna McNaughton and Micela Loock represented the EP u/18A team at an interprovincial hockey tournament held in Pietermaritzburg.
After five games, the team ended top of their pool with a goal difference of 23. Having successfully qualified for the semi-finals, they then pitted their skills against that of the Northern Blues. After this tightly contested match ended in a 1-all draw, a penalty shootout ensued, which the EP side unfortunately lost. They then contested the tournament’s 3rd and 4th position against Southern Gauteng. After losing this game, they ended 4th overall out of 12 teams.
Both players enjoyed the tournament tremendously and were grateful for the opportunity to improve their hockey.
