Our senior girls participated in their first 7’s soccer tournament at Kokstad College on Saturday, 18 August. The girls played well but unfortunately just missed out on the final. The girls played 4 games. They won 1, drew 2 and lost 1.
The 1st boy’s team was drawn in a very tough group. They lost their games but did not shy away from the competition. This season has had its ups and down, but they keep on improving and never give up.
