A clinical performance by Parel Vallei lifted them to a 7-2 defeat of Pearson High in their final match of the season. Photo: Parel Vallei High on Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A staggering 44 goals were scored in seven matches featuring Western Cape<\/strong> sides over the past weekend.<\/p>\n

It was two days filled with upsets and top performances, with high-quality hockey entertaining those who were on the sidelines or watching at home on the SuperSport Schools App<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Parel Vallei High School<\/strong> (PV)<\/strong> and Paul Roos Gimnasium (PRG) <\/strong>completed their campaigns on Friday night with contrasting victories.<\/p>\n

PV welcomed Pearson High<\/strong>, from Gqeberha, to Somerset West and bagged an emphatic 7-2 victory in front of a packed crowd.<\/p>\n

The hosts were favoured heading into the clash, having beaten Pearson 4-0 in 2024. They endured a horrible start, however, going 0-2 down within the opening five minutes after a fiery start from the visitors.<\/p>\n

Rocked, PV, nonetheless, stayed composed, quickly regrouped, soaked up the atmosphere, and went on to deliver one of their best performances of the season.<\/p>\n

They were clinical in front of goal, punishing Pearson almost every time they got a sniff, while making goal scoring look easy.<\/p>\n

Nathan Nissen<\/strong> was in the form of his life and netted a hat-trick, while Luca Jordan<\/strong>, Luka Meets<\/strong>, and JP van der Walt<\/strong> got in on the scoring action.<\/p>\n

SA u16 stalwart, Stephan Malan<\/strong>, also netted. He landed in Cape Town at 18:15, returning from representing the SA u16A team in the Allister Fredericks Africa Challenge<\/a><\/strong> in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

It was the perfect send-off for the PV matriculants and wrapped up a solid season for coach Michael van Rensburg<\/strong> and his troops.<\/p>\n
