KZN Regional Hockey Tournament

KZN Regional Hockey Tournament

Date: 2014-02-14
Now in its fourth year, the SPAR KZN Regional Hockey Tournament kicks off the 2014 edition in Newcastle on the 22 February.

Ferrum High School which will play host to the tournament, has dominated the region in previous years, winning all of the three SPAR tournaments. Ten schools participated in the tournament last year with the same schools expected to come out in the hope of toppling the defending champs for their chance to shine at the finals in Durban in July.

"I am delighted that the tournament has come into its own." Says Tournament Director, Les Galloway. The hockey that we have seen over the past 3 years has greatly improved and this can only bode well for the future of KZN Hockey. The combination of the competitiveness and enjoyment of these Regionals is a pleasure to witness."

"Over the last three years at the finals we have watched Ferrum grow into a strong, confident outfit with good strategies and great camaraderie amongst the players. Newcastle has never disappointed us with wonderful hockey for both players and the spectators and the talent and enthusiasm shown on the pitch is heartfelt."

The tournament that takes place in ten regions in KwaZulu-Natal highlights first team girls' hockey. Other regions include Southern Natal; Durban Central; Durban North; Pinetown/Highway; Pietermaritzburg North; Pietermaritzburg South; Inland and Northern Natal. The finals will be played at Thomas More College and St Mary's DSG on the 26 and 27 July.

MD of SPAR, Rob Philipson said, "Our SPAR KZN Regional Hockey Tournament has become a highlight not only in the KZN school sports calendar, but in our sporting calendar as well. These young ladies are the future of our South African Women's team and we are delighted to play a small role in moulding some of the country's next top players."
