Spirits remained high as Hoedspruit’s local teams took to the pitch through the heat of the day to see who would come out on top. After 14 hours of play, it was the tournament sponsors’ team who came out on top, the Pam Golding Head Hunters. Team Six or Knicks took second place followed by the bronze medalists, the Hoedsuipers.

Scales Sports Arena would like to thank sponsors, Pam Golding Properties Hoedspruit, and Bougainvillea Country Store for their amazing breakfast jaffles, as well as The Thirsty Giraffe Pub And Grill for their continued support and all the volunteers who helped to make the day a great success. Sports Arena is a five-a-side action hockey tournament on October 22.
