St Anne\u2019s College plays host to the upcoming SPAR KZN Schoolgirls\u2019 Hockey Challenge this coming weekend, whereby both the Pietermaritzburg Central and Northern Regionals will be played on their two astro turfs.<\/p>\n

Hockey Challenge – Pietermaritzburg Central and Northern Regionals<\/h3>\n

With home turf advantage, host school St Anne\u2019s College will hope that they can continue their dominance in the Pietermaritzburg Northern Regional. They will take on Howick High School, Treverton, Grace College, Voortrekker High School and The Wykeham Collegiate. The games will all be 25 minutes one way running time.<\/p>\n

Across the way defending champions, Epworth School will be keen to take their third title in the Pietermaritzburg Central Regional. They will meet Alexander High, Pietermaritzburg Girls\u2019 High School, St John\u2019s D.S.G., Maritzburg Christian School and Carter High School. The games will be 20 minutes one way running time.<\/p>\n

Both regionals will have a round robin format. The Pietermaritzburg Northern\u2019s top two teams will face each other on in their regional final at 2.40pm. Ten minutes later the top two teams will take to their turf to duel it out for the honours in the Pietermaritzburg Central Regional.<\/p>\n

Only two teams have represented the northern region of Pietermaritzburg at the Grand Finals. St Anne\u2019s have raised the trophy eight times and The Wykeham Collegiate had their name engraved on the trophy in 2012. Three teams have travelled to Durban<\/a> in July. Pietermaritzburg Girls\u2019 High dominated the area for six times, with St John\u2019s winning once, and Epworth hunting their third title this weekend.<\/p>\n

Both tournaments will award 4 points for a win, a draw with goals will earn 2 points and a goalless draw only 1 point. A loss will be logged as zero points for the losing team.<\/p>\n

The two teams to win will join three teams that have already earned a spot at the Grand Finals that will take place in July at St Marys DSG. The first team to secure a spot is newcomers from Vryheid, Ho\u00ebrskool Pionier from the Northern KZN Regional. Second team that will make an appearance at the Grand Finals for a tenth time is Durban Girls\u2019 College representing the Durban Central Regional. The third team, back again after a year\u2019s gap is Our Lady of Fatima from the Durban North Regional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
