Two of Pretoria’s top hockey-playing schools are set for a bumper weekend of action, covering two days, 9-10 May, when Ho\u00ebrskool Garsfontein<\/strong> and Ho\u00ebrskool Waterkloof<\/strong> go at it across all age groups, both girls and boys, in a home and away affair.<\/p>\n

The action begins on Friday afternoon at Waterkloof with the u16B girls taking to the turf. They’ll be followed by the girls’ 3rd teams and the boys’ u16C sides as the matches serve to build up to the clashes of the A teams and the 1st sides.<\/p>\n

At Garsfontein, Friday’s five build-up games include the girls’ u14B teams taking to the field first. They’ll be followed by the girls’ 2nd XIs, and, then, the u16A sides.<\/p>\n

It will be a case of Hyundai Friday Nite Lights<\/strong> when both the girls’ and boys’ 1st XIs do battle at Garsfontein, with the girls’ clash starting at 18:05 and the boys playing at 19:20.<\/p>\n

\nGarsfontein’s boys’ team, after recently finishing fourth at the Standard Bank Hibbert Shield<\/strong> against a high-quality field, will have drawn confidence from their excellent in Gqberha.<\/p>\n

There is seldom much to separate the girls’ sides, which\u00a0Garsies’ coach Charlene Jonsson<\/strong> acknowledged: “We have tightly contested matches each year,” she said. “The first-team girls drew 0-0 last year in this same fixture, and we have not played each other this year yet,” she told SuperSport School Plus<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her team is ready for the clash, Jonsson added: “Preparations are going well. We are hitting our full in-season stride after all the tournaments are done for this phase of the year, and the focus shifts to our league matches and derbies.<\/p>\n

“We keep focusing on getting one percent better each week,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
