The defending champions, Western Province A<\/strong>, KwaZulu-Natal Coastal A,<\/strong> and Eastern Province A<\/strong> registered big wins on the first day of the u16 SASHOC National Week<\/strong> in Bloemfontein on Friday. The event runs through to 3 July.<\/p>\n Province’s title defence got off to a smooth start as they chalked up two wins on the first day.<\/p>\n Louise<\/strong> Conradie<\/strong>‘s charges shrugged off a challenge from KwaZulu Natal Inland A<\/strong>, capturing a 3-0 victory. Camryn Corner<\/strong> found the back of the net in the second and third chukkas before Kate Naiker<\/strong> buried the KZN side with a third goal with five minutes remaining in the game.<\/p>\n Province\u2019s victory over Inland A was a precursor for a dominant performance in the afternoon, which brought them a 5-0 win over KwaZulu-Natal Coastal B<\/strong>. Naiker opened the scoring in the sixth minute, with her second goal of the tournament. From there, it was all Province, with Bea van den Berg<\/strong> netting twice, and Sarah Ashbolt<\/strong> and Chelsey McGregor<\/strong> joining her on the score sheet.<\/p>\n The beating KZN Coastals B received at the hands of Province was their second drubbing of the day. Shannon<\/strong> Demsey’<\/strong>s charges suffered a heavier defeat in the morning at the hands of their compatriots, KwaZulu-Natal Coastal A.<\/p>\n KZN Coastal A finished fifth in 2023, but their opening salvo on Friday suggested they will be in for a higher finish this time around, with plenty of goals to boot.<\/p>\n Last year, they scored 16 goals, which was the fifth-highest tally by any team, with five of those coming off the stick of Nicola Forbes<\/strong>, who was a member of the u18 team that finished third last week.<\/p>\n Asanele Zuma<\/strong> appears to be a worthy successor to Forbes. The 14-year-old Durban Girls’ College<\/strong> learner was on target four times on day one. She opened her account with a brilliant hat-trick against KZN Coastal B as the Coastal A side powered their way to an emphatic 6-0 win over their compatriots. The other goal scorers included Chelsey Woolf<\/strong>, who struck twice, and Liyanda Memani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Later in the day, Zuma scored the only goal of the match as Coastal A edged out Northern Blues A<\/strong> 1-0.<\/p>\n Western Province A and KZN Coastal are top of the pile in Pool A, with both on six points, but separated by goal difference.<\/p>\n Eastern Province A were the other big winners on Friday. Coach Andrew Beynon<\/strong>‘s charges hammered Border 8-1 in the fourth contest of the day.<\/p>\n They opened the scoring 11 minutes into the tie and did not stop. Jana Prinsloo<\/strong> struck four times, while Kerrin Gillies<\/strong> contributed a hat-trick. Alecia Louw<\/strong> added another goal as EP A romped to victory.<\/p>\n Border’s consolation goal came from Megan Phillips<\/strong> in the 41st<\/sup> minute. They were already 0-5 down when she found the back of the net. That emphatic win has left Eastern Province A top of Pool B after the opening day<\/p>\n RESULTS<\/b><\/p>\n Northern Blues A 1-3 Southern Free State A The defending champions, Western Province A, KwaZulu-Natal Coastal A, and Eastern Province A registered big wins on the first day of the u16 SASHOC National Week in Bloemfontein on Friday.
