First Team vs Oranje Meisies (Friday)
Final Score: UHS 1 – Oranje 5
The match started with great energy and focus from our girls, ending the first chukka 0-0. In the second chukka, we took the lead with a short corner goal from Mia Botha to make it 1-0. Unfortunately, a lapse in concentration and communication during the third chukka saw Oranje capitalize and take a 4-1 lead. They added a fifth goal in the final chukka, leaving the final score at 5-1 in their favour.
Despite the result, I want to commend the first team players for their outstanding effort in chukkas 1, 2, and 4. You not only competed against one of the top hockey schools in the country, you dominated them at times. I am incredibly proud of each and every one of you! Well done Kenza and team.
First Team vs St Michael’s School (Saturday)
Final Score: UHS 2 – SMS 0
While not our best performance, the team showed heart and stuck to the structure to secure a victory. The scoreline doesn’t truly reflect the dominance we had throughout the match.
We created numerous scoring opportunities, earning 15 short corners, but only managed to convert two into goals. This is an area we will continue to work on. That said, credit must go to the girls for their persistence and composure under pressure.
