The hugely popular SPAR KZN Schoolgirls’ Hockey Challenge is back on track this year, with a take two of their milestone 10th year. 


Having only progressed halfway through the fixtures last year, before Covid-19 paused play in the tournament’s celebratory year, it will be extremely exciting for the girls to get back onto the turf.  It is full steam ahead for the annual girls’ hockey tournament with the 10 regional tournaments rolling out in a quick-fire six weekends.

The month of May is choc-a-block full of action with eight of the regionals taking place.  The only difference in this year’s fixtures is the absence of the much-loved and highly anticipated grand finals. It will be back in all its grandeur next year.

Tournament director, Les Galloway from Schoolgirl Sport said, “We have really missed the action. It has been just over a year since the curtain came down on us, and I cannot wait to see the girls back on the pitch enjoying these wonderful SPAR tournaments.”

All Covid-19 protocols will be in place to ensure the safety of all participating. And due to current Covid-19 regulations and protocols, no spectators will be allowed.
