On the first weekend of March, the SPAR Hockey for Schoolgirls Festival joined the “Best of the West” sporting event held at Krugersdorp High School’s Astro on the West Rand of Gauteng.
Ten schools participated in a day and a half of frenetic hockey action under the blazing sun at the end of one of Gauteng’s hottest summers and the factor 50 was in high demand. A late afternoon thundershower was most welcome to bring some relief before the matches resumed into the evening session.
Our photographer arrived on Saturday morning before the 8.30 start where the hosts, Krugersdorp, were challenged by Randpark. The photos are on the SPAR Girls School Hockey Facebook page, conveniently sorted by match for you to download.
Other matches captured for you to download are:
Northcliff vs Heronbridge

Special thank you to our sponsors SPAR, hosts on the day, Krugersdorp High School and Fiona Harrison, KHS Director of Girls hockey, who looked after all of us over the 2 days of hockey at the school’s astro.
