Paarl Girls’ High did however drew (20-all) against Helpmekaar-kollege during the opening day of the festival. Victories over Potchefstroom Volkskool (28-10), Hoër Meisieskool Oranje (22-15), Hoërskool Middelburg (16-13), Florida (29-6) and Ben Vorster of Tzaneen (30-7) completed an almost perfect festival for the team.

The victory over Oranje was a special one as it was the team from Bloemfontein’s first defeat in more than 11 months.

The hosts, Menlopark, only defeat was the one against Paarl Girls’ High. They secured victories over Monument (33-8), Paarl Gimnasium (20-17), Potchefstroom Gimnasium (23-10), Florida (25-11), Noordheuwel (27-14), Helpmekaar (30-19) and Bloemhof (22-20).

Oranje finished the festival on a high by defeating Bloemhof (30-16) and Florida (36-12) comfortably.

On day one it almost felt like this could be a disaster because of the bad weather that was against the tournament’s success.

Luckily, without losing any hope the organizers did all they could to get the Courts ready and safe for the players to play on. As the skies dried up the matches could proceed, and a lot of good games could be played.
