Girls' Soccer
2009

Our season started with a bit of a problem - our key players had to play a Hockey fixture against a touring team and were unavailable. The First Team consisted mainly of Grade 8 and 9 girls and duly lost 2-1 against Vulindlela High School.

The following week our victory march started as the senior players, Jade Perreira, Muhle Silinda, Michaela Erskog and Lorraine Bembe returned. We returned scores of 6-0, 3-0 and 12-0. Jade scored a hattrick and a double hattrick along the way. This was not bad for a team that that had not practised as the seniors still played Hockey.

We qualified for the semi-finals of the league. Unfortunately they were postponed and a number of the regular players were not available. We played against a very competent Lowveld High team and squeezed through 1-0 with an own goal.

The final was against the old rival, Penryn. Our star player, Jade, was heavily marked and did not have any space to dominate the game. The determination and gutsy display from the rest of the team was commendable. In the end Jade’s class shone through and her two goals gave us a 2-0 victory.

Our most promising player for the future is Daniella Veldsman. As a Grade 8 pupil she was a stalwart of the First Team and was selected for Mbombelo U15, while Jade was selected for the U17 side. Congratulations to the girls on their achievements.
