UJ is known for its vibe and that is exactly what you can expect at this weekend’s exciting Varsity Hockey play-offs said Naimh Faherty, the organizer of the event.
The Varsity Hockey tournament is set up nicely going into the final weekend with four teams locked at 20 points each, and there will be plenty of action off the pitch too.
“We’ve targeted and invited schools from surrounding areas, we will have a great DJ, there will be a face-paint corner for the little ones, SAB will avail beverages, Mugg & Bean will be there and you can expect a little bit of everything,” said Faherty
Faherty is confident that the home side will have the crowd right behind them in the knock-out phase of the competition.
“The semis won’t be easy, but if UJ can win with a bonus point against Wits, and Maties against Rhodes, we will see a very interesting semifinal and perhaps a UJ vs Maties final,” she said.
Maties walked away victorious in Stellenbosch in last week’s clash, so UJ will need all of the support they can get to turn that around.
“we haven’t seen the support we would like to see at these events, so I therefore encourage students, parents and families to come out in their numbers and support these beautiful events. Come on, it’s not winter yet, so I really encourage you to be there,” Faherty added.
