THE 2014 KZN Ladies’ Angling Team recently represented the KZN Freshwater Angling Union at the South African Ladies’ Championships, which took place at Bloemhof dam over three days.
The team, which comprises of eight anglers, a reserve angler, manager and coach, participated in the President’s Division at the competition.
Despite somewhat difficult fishing conditions, the ladies fought back courageously on the last day of the competition, to move from fourth to third position, securing the bronze medal, with Western Province taking the gold and Limpopo the silver.
Three of the KZN ladies were invited to participate in the national trials, namely Rika Kotze, Leboné Boshoff and Liz Bugden.
Rika Kotze was selected to represent the Ladies’ Protea Team and Leboné Boshoff the Ladies’ SAFBAF B (South African Freshwater Bank Angling Federation) team.
The manager and coach, who were also nominated for selection, were also selected for National teams.
Bruce McQuade was selected to represent the Ladies’ SAFBAF B team as manager and Wikus Marx was selected to represent the Ladies’ Invitational team as manager.
Congratulations to the anglers who were selected to participate at a national level and well done to the ladies for bringing back the bronze medal to KZN.
