\"\"The annual Greg Beling Hockey Festival<\/strong> will return to the SuperSport Schools<\/strong> screens from Thursday with a feast of exciting hockey, featuring some of South Africa’s leading girls’ hockey schools.<\/p>\n

The action begins on Thursday evening and runs through to early on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Top schools from all over the country will sharpen their skills, and work on combinations and team tactics as the 2024 season speeds into focus.<\/p>\n

Matches will be played at six different venues, with Cambridge High<\/strong>, Stirling High<\/strong>, Clarendon High School for Girls<\/strong>, Selborne College<\/strong>, Merrifield College<\/strong>, and the Bunkers Hill Astro<\/strong> hosting games.<\/p>\n

Cambridge will set matters in motion on Thursday when they run out against Montana at 17:00. Another of the local sides, Clarendon, plays their first match, against Rhenish<\/strong>, at 18:15.<\/p>\n

It’s on the second day, Friday, that a smorgasbord of action will unfold, with 18 matches taking place, including Cambridge fronting up to Eunice<\/strong> at 09:00 in the first game of the day.<\/p>\n

Eunice will be aiming to up their game after an up-and-down start to their season at Voortrekker’s Balling Hockey Festival. <\/a>In 2023, they won three of their four games at the Greg Beling Festival, beating Parel Vallei<\/strong> 5-1, DSG Makhanda<\/strong> 5-0 and Stirling High School<\/strong> 2-1, and going down 1-0 to Pearson High School<\/strong>. Eunice would go on to become the number one ranked team in the country.<\/p>\n

Other matches to keep an eye out for over the course of the weekend include a much-anticipated clash between Clarendon and Oranje<\/strong>, who made a red-hot start to the season at the Balling Hockey Festival, scoring 33 goals and conceding only one in five outings.<\/p>\n

Pearson will lock horns with Rhenish, before Hudson Park<\/strong> faces Collegiate<\/strong> and Eunice on the same day.<\/p>\n

Kingswood College<\/strong> also had a successful run at the 2023 Festival, but they will be tested over the weekend, particularly in their matches against Sasolburg High<\/strong> and Linden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To wrap matters up on Sunday, Stirling High will face Voortrekker<\/strong>, seeking to do the double over their opponents, after they shocked the Bethlehem side 3-2 on home soil in February.<\/p>\n
