\"Grantleigh<\/a><\/p>\n

After a two year break, Grantleigh College reclaimed the North Coast Regional title of the SPAR KZN Schoolgirls\u2019 Hockey Challenge for the fourth time on Saturday 15 May.<\/p>\n

Grantleigh College win North Coast Hockey Challenge<\/h3>\n

Host school, Grantleigh met defending champs, Felixton College in the regional final. Felixton dominated the opening period of play but never quite got into the Grantleigh circle to fire off a shot. After 5 minutes of defense, Grantleigh managed, for the first time, to get into Felixton\u2019s half but the surge was short lived as a number of infringements allowed Felixton back into the Grantleigh 22.<\/p>\n

With majority of the action in the first period taking place in the midfield, Grantleigh managed to break the defensive shackles and make a run for the Felixton goal. Nearing 8 minutes of play, Grantleigh earned a long corner. A Felixton defender didn\u2019t manage to keep her distance from the start of the set piece and was directed to the sin bin for 2 minutes. This resulted in the first short corner of the game.<\/p>\n

Grantleigh\u2019s first short corner attempt went to the castle, with a thundering shot being fired in but only going as far as a dashing first wave\u2019s right boot. In the re-take of the short corner, Grantleigh changed up their attack, with the ball pinballing around the top of the circle, but were unable to capitalize.<\/p>\n

Felixton had a slight breather after 90 seconds of play in their danger zone, the ball was cleared for the host\u2019s second long corner. Grantleigh took advantage of the last few seconds of a 10 strong Felixton team, rocketing in the ball from just outside the circle in the hopes of finding a team-mate\u2019s stick along the way. A lucky Josie Reilly was in the right place at the right time and managed to ricochet the shot into the Felixton net taking her team 1-0 up.<\/p>\n

Captain for Grantleigh, Jessica du Plessis attempted to increase the lead 5 minutes later but an alert Senamile Mhlaba from Felixton magnificently charged down the shot. With 3 and a half minutes left of play, Grantleigh was awarded their third short corner but the Felixton defenders didn\u2019t allow them any room, getting the ball out neatly.<\/p>\n

As the game neared full time, Carla Janse van Rensburg found herself on the Felixton post with no defender marking her. Receiving the ball, she tried to chip in a sneaky shot, but an on-her-toes Mhlaba hugging the post, punched it away easily.<\/p>\n

In the earlier Round Robin game between the two teams, the hosts netted two goals with Josie Reilly and Michaela Hagemeier scoring for Grantleigh.<\/p>\n

This is the fourth Regional in the Take Two of the celebratory tenth year of the tournament. Grantleigh join Danville Park Girls\u2019 High who won the first tournament in the Durban North Regional. Second regional winners from the uMvoti, uThukela and uMzinyathi Regional were Wembley College, followed by St Mary\u2019s DSG in the Highway Regional. The fifth tournament, played the following day, was hosted by Durban Girls High School with teams from around Durban CBD taking part in the Durban Central Regional with Durban Girls\u2019 College taking the title.<\/p>\n
