Kingswood College hosted its annual Co-Ed 1st team hockey festival over the past weekend. The festival was made up of 28 teams – 14 girls' teams and 14 boys' teams.
Over the course of the last ten years this prestigious event has grown to include teams from as far afield as Zimbabwe, Western Cape, Durban and Johannesburg – not to mention a host of teams from the Eastern Cape.
The festival has become popular among visiting schools, particularly because of the competitive yet friendly atmosphere that exists between all the teams and coaches present.
Matches started on Thursday, 14 April and ended on Sunday, 17 April, with the Kingswood and Rhodes University Astros playing hosts to the games.
On the DSG campus, the All Girls Junior School Festival took place from Saturday to Monday. A total of 12 girls junior schools from across South Africa took part, including Eunice, Herschel, Collegiate, Clarendon.
Sporting activities included water polo, hockey, netball, tennis, squash on the DSG campus. Over 400 U13 girls and staff were part of the festival.
See more about both these events in Friday’s edition of Grocott’s Mail as well as on the Grocott’s Mail Sport Facebook page.
