Medal haul for Hoërskool Ben Vorster netball teams

Tough weather conditions set the stage for an intense weekend of school netball action, where determination and teamwork came to the fore.

TZANEEN – Hoërskool Ben Vorster successfully hosted the Limpopo Schools Netball Championships from Friday, June 19 to Saturday, June 20, despite cold and wet weather conditions.

Although the weather was challenging, it did not dampen the spirit of the participants, who competed with determination, character, and pride, rounding off a strong netball season.

The school’s teams delivered impressive performances throughout the tournament. The u/14A team secured bronze, while both the u/16A and u/17A teams earned silver medals.

“Congratulations to every player and coach. You have proudly carried the name of Hoërskool Ben Vorster and proven that true champions are not deterred by difficult circumstances.”

The school also thanked the organisers, coaches, referees, supporters, parents, sponsors, and volunteers for their contribution to the success of the championship.
