Oranje Meisies put on a master class at this year’s U16 Top Schools Tournament hosted by Paarl Gim and have clinched the top spot on the SA School Sports Girl’s U16 Rankings as well.
Going unbeaten in 20 matches is no easy feat but the leading U16 team in the country brushed aside all that stood before this season to finish the year as the top team. Taking the crown at this year’s Top School Tournament was the cherry on the top for the Oranje U16 team and with their first team also finishing No.1, this U16 team will surely be hoping to continue the dominance of school hockey on into 2020.
DSG and Menlopark make up the top three with Paarl Gim and St Mary’s Waverley completing the top five zone.
We look forward to more excitement amongst the U16 teams next year and thank all the coaches and especially the players for an excellent season.
