A total of 16 U12 and U13 hockey teams of 11 schools from across South Africa visited the Eunice High School for the first-ever Nika Coertzen Hockey Tournament, which was held from Friday 2 August to Sunday.
The Eunice astro hosted 230 players and 30 officials over the weekend, many of whom commented that they learnt a lot and enjoyed each moment.
Coertzen, Eunice’s first team coach, says the aim of this festival was to let players grow in confidence and enjoy themselves.
The winner of the tournament was the Jordania Primary School from Bethlehem, with Our Lady of Fatima from Durban taking second place, and the Laerskool Garsfontein placing third.
