[PHOTOS] Mini-hockey tournament showcases young talent
Khosa and KHS hosted somewhat 900 junior hockey players for a a few rounds of though game play.
Just under 900 junior hockey players filled up various fields on Saturday, 13 July, including the Khosa Club’s main field, two Krugersdorp High School grass fields and its one Astro field in a quest for glory.
The Khosa Pikkies Mini Hockey teams faced off against teams from the greater South Gauteng area, among them the Benoni Northerns, Hooked on Hockey, Beaulieu, Crusaders, Shumbas, Jeppe Saint Andrews, Pirates and the Wanderers.
Boys and girls teams ranging from U/5 to U/11 had equal opportunity to show their merit. These little ones gave it their all, playing hard enough to give some senior teams a run for their money. Some of the age groups played up to six matches on the day.
The tournament, hosted by Khosa, ran from 8am until about 1.30pm, leaving the young players exhausted after giving their all on the field.
The club will also be hosting their next Round Robin Tournament on 17 August on its fields.
