Schools such as Laerskool Kenmare, Bekker, Nooitgedacht, Krugersdorp-Noord and Muldersdrif as well as Maragon Private School, among others, participated in the tournament

The teams played six games over two days in the scorching sun, but remained victorious throughout.

Kenmare’s U/13As won all six of their games and although they were friendlies, they gave their coach an indication of what the teams for the next netball league will look like.

Noordskool’s U/13As also played six games, winning two, drawing one and losing three.

“The matches were tough, but the girls did their best and they enjoyed the experience of playing against such diverse teams,” said Mariëtte van Heerden, the team’s coach.

Noordskool’s teams went on to play against Laerskool Randfontein on Thursday, 22 February and are looking forward to their Super Series netball that stretches from 28 February to 14 March.
