\"HockeyAfter much hard work, Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool, Pretoria<\/strong> outlasted Rhenish Girls’ High School<\/strong> on penalties to clinch the 2024 All Girls Festival<\/strong> title at The Girls High School, Potchefstroom<\/strong>, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The title decider was a good, hard fight, with both Affies and Rhenish tigerishly defending to avoid going behind. That, however, left the sides deadlocked at 0-0 after regulation time, thus sending the contest to the penalty spot to decide the winner. Affies took it, just, by three goals to two.<\/p>\n

It was a satisfying end to the event for Affies, who began it with a 0-2 setback against Oranje<\/strong> on Thursday. They answered that loss with three wins in succession, beating Rustenburg Girls’ High<\/strong> 1-0, followed by 2-0 victories over Pretoria High School for Girls<\/strong> and HMS La Rochelle<\/strong> respectively.<\/p>\n

That left Affies in second place in Pool A, with nine points.<\/p>\n

Then, on Friday, they showed BMT to edge out Collegiate<\/strong> Girls’ High School<\/strong> 2-1 on penalties in the quarterfinals. In the semis, they beat Paarl Girls’ High<\/strong> 1-0 to secure their place in the final.<\/p>\n

Rhenish’s challenge got off to a flyer when they overran Jeppe High School for Girls<\/strong> 13-0 in their first match. Their Stellenbosch neighbours, Bloemhof<\/strong>, held them to a 1-1 draw in their second outing, but a 2-0 victory over Danville Park Girls’ High<\/strong> and a 1-0 win over Durban Girls’ High<\/strong> left them top of Pool B, with 11 points.<\/p>\n

Oranje impressed in the third-place playoff, scoring a 3-0 win over Paarl Girls’ High. Fifth went to Bloemhof, who handed Eunice<\/strong> a 2-1 loss, while Collegiate ended seventh after a 1-0 win over Wynberg Girls’ High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the All Girls Festival heads to the Western Cape where it will be hosted by Wynberg Girls’ High, who co-hosted the event with Rustenburg Girls’ High in its very first year, in 2000.<\/p>\n
