Publicist Sophie Thompson said that out of the 10 participating teams, only two teams that previously hoisted the trophy have made it, the host school St Mary’s DSG, which won the tile six times, and Pietermaritzburg’s St Anne’s College, which won the trophy in its inaugural year in 2011.

Representing Amanzimtoti and the greater Durban South area, KHS are looking to shake up the hockey challenge and make a Cinderella-run towards a grand final victory.
