Collegiate Girls wanting to prove themselves at Fairtee Super 12

This week, Collegiate girls will travel from Gqeberha to Bloemfontein to participate in the Fairtree Super 12 Tournament, hosted by Oranje Meisieskool in Bloemfontein from the 9th to 12th of August. 

Catch all the action on live on SuperSport Schools (www.supersportschools.com).

Collegiate ranked 8th in the country when selected for this tournament will be facing giant odds as they are fixtured to go against the likes of Paarl Gimnasium, St Mary’s Waverley and reigning champions, Oranje Meisieskool. 

Last year, Collegiate unfortunately ended in the lower half (ranked 9th) at the end of the tournament. However, this year could prove more successful with Collegiate Girls having six players selected for the Eastern Province team for the SASHOC 2023 Tournament (U/18 A: Elizabeth Porter, Kyla Nienaber, Tiara Finnis, Gabriella Tait, Alulutho Adams. U/18 B: Jenna Peltenburg.  U/18 non-travelling reserve – Hannah Griffin)

Collegiate last met up against Oranje Meisieskool for their annual derby, losing 4-1. However, Collegiate took on Eunice on the same weekend and overcame Eunice 2-0 which bodes well for captain, Elizabeth Porter and the Collegiate Girls going into the Super 12 Tournament.
