Potchefstroom Volkskool had an interesting season, they won against Klerksdorp by 34-29 and lost against Potch Gimnasium with a massive score of 40-18.

Kempton Park beat EG Jansen by 31-18 in their annual Ekhuruleni League clash on Thursday.

EG Jansen came with a great game plan and motivated players, unfortunately they were no match for Kempton Park. In the first two quarters the game looked equally matched, and it was still anyone’s game.

In the third quarter of the first teams’ game, Kempton Park started to take the lead, but the Jansies didn’t take any of it laying down, they fought hard until the end.

EG Jansen got lucky with intercepting the ball where they almost lost it to the opposing team, luckily, they have excellent ball handling, and they got the ball back.

They were also able to vigorously defend the ball, but their effort was futile, because Kempies had the better game plan.

Even though Kempton Park made a few mistakes according to their coach, it all worked out for them in the end.

The teams:

Kempton Park: Sumari McCabe, Erin Free, Chané Munro, Nina Steyn, Leané Scheepers, Nikita Buitendag, Keira Wells, Suné McCabe, Andrea Janse van Vuuren, Lizelle Maritz.

EG Jansen: Quinlyn Breetzke (GS), Zhantezé Weingartz (GA), Morgan Trahms (GD), Carli Bronkhorst (GD/GA), Donné Howard (WD/GD), Sanitha Mkhwanazi (WD), Kirsty Rautenbach (C), Kaylin Pepler (WA), Melissa Slabbert (C).

Hoërskool Garsfontein bagged the narrowest of victories in their opening match of this year’s Jubilee League against Hoërskool Waterkloof. Garsies coming out on top by 30-29 on their home turf.

What made the victory even more impressive is that Waterkloof had their two star players Shiane Fouché and Luané Smith back who missed this year’s Absa Wildeklawer tournament due to their participation for South Africa’s Fast 5-team at the Junior Commonwealth Games in Trinidad and Tobago.

After the first quarter the scoreboard was locked at 7-all. Garsies managed to build up a lead at half-time with the scoreline reading 15-12 in their favour. Klofies managed to close the gap to a single goal at the end of the third quarter (23-22).

For Garsfontein their centre, Mariné Lourens, was superb. She will be representing one of the Gauteng teams later this year at the All Ages tournament. Kristen Boshoff (attacking wing) and Chanique Eyberg (goal defence) also played exceptionally well.

So far three fixtures has been completed in the Jubilee League.

Eldoraigne and Oos-Moot went head-head with the former walking away as victors with a score of 32-17.

Menlopark won against Montana by 32-25.

The match between Afrikaans Hoër Meisieskool and Montana was supposed to take place on the 5th of May, but it has been postponed until the 22nd of May 22.

Only one team in the u18-section of Hoërskool Menlopark‘s annual netball festival managed to complete their fixtures with their unbeaten status intact.

Paarl Girls’ High gave the hosts, Menlopark. their first defeat on the fourth and final day of the festival walking from the court with the narrowest of victories (20-19). The team from Paarl also won their other clash on the final day against Secunda (28-13).

Watch all these matches again on SuperSport Schools (www.supersportschools.com).

Paarl Girls’ High did however drew (20-all) against Helpmekaar-kollege during the opening day of the festival. Victories over Potchefstroom Volkskool (28-10), Hoër Meisieskool Oranje (22-15), Hoërskool Middelburg (16-13), Florida (29-6) and Ben Vorster of Tzaneen (30-7) completed an almost perfect festival for the team.

The victory over Oranje was a special one as it was the team from Bloemfontein’s first defeat in more than 11 months.

The hosts, Menlopark, only defeat was the one against Paarl Girls’ High. They secured victories over Monument (33-8), Paarl Gimnasium (20-17), Potchefstroom Gimnasium (23-10), Florida (25-11), Noordheuwel (27-14), Helpmekaar (30-19) and Bloemhof (22-20).

Oranje finished the festival on a high by defeating Bloemhof (30-16) and Florida (36-12) comfortably.

On day one it almost felt like this could be a disaster because of the bad weather that was against the tournament’s success.

Luckily, without losing any hope the organizers did all they could to get the Courts ready and safe for the players to play on. As the skies dried up the matches could proceed, and a lot of good games could be played.
