Good luck with the preparations for the examinations

Maties Sport Nuusbrief-Newsletter – Feb-Ma 2013

Quanita Bobbs and Pierre de Voux both made their respective debuts for the South African national women’s and men’s teams recently. Quinita enjoyed a full month of international competition during January which included the first qualifying round of the inaugural World League which South Africa won, as well as playing in the final of the Investec Cup against world number one Netherlands. Bobbs is a second year B.Comm student who is also tipped to spearhead the national u/21 team to the Junior World Cup later this year in Germany.

 Fellow Matie, Jade Mayne, who narrowly missed selection to the London Olympics, also found herself back in favour with the selectors and enjoyed a very successful campaign, finding the back of the net for South Africa on a number of occasions.

 De Voux, a current masters student, has seen his long term commitment to Maties rewarded with a call-up to the team that will play the qualifying round of the men’s World League. South Africa starts their quest in Brazil during this month.

The Maties Hockey Club will be well represented at the respective National u/21 Provincial Tournaments during the first week of April 2013. A total of 18 Maties men’s players will travel to Pretoria with 8 of them representing the Pens u/21 team and 10 running out for the A-side. Matie, Dylan Swanepoel, will captain the A-side and Charlie Plimsoll will lead the B-side. In addition Neville Rothman will serve as head coach to the A-side.

 The ladies travel to KZN during the same week. 13 Maties will represent the WP u/21 A-team and 9 players will play under the guidance of Maties Coach Adene Bennett for the Pens team. Matie, Chantell Britz, has also been selected to umpire at the ladies’ tournament.
