Following in the footsteps of their senior counterparts, the young Amanzimtoti sides turned the morning into a showcase of growth, grit and great netball. From the first whistle to the final pass, the home teams proved unstoppable, displaying sharp shooting, disciplined defence and seamless teamwork across all age groups.

The U13 teams set the tone early, applying relentless pressure and capitalising on scoring opportunities to secure comfortable wins. The U14 sides followed with equally dominant performances, including a near-flawless defensive display that limited their opponents to a single goal in one clash.

The most commanding victory of the day came when Amanzimtoti’s U13A side produced a clinical performance that underlined the club’s depth and preparation ahead of the new season. The narrowest contest of the day came against Suid Natal’s U14A side, but Amanzimtoti held their nerve in a tightly contested encounter to ensure a clean sweep on home soil.

The club hopes that the six wins from six matches it achieved will lay a solid performance foundation for its junior division for the season ahead.

Final scores:

Amanzimtoti U13B 6 – 3 Ashton College U14E
Amanzimtoti U13A 14 – 7 Ashton College U14D
Amanzimtoti U14A 18 – 1 Ashton College U14C
Amanzimtoti U13B 9 – 0 Suid Natal U14B
Amanzimtoti U13A 25 – 0 Suid Natal U15C
Amanzimtoti U14A 7 – 6 Suid Natal U14A
