Waterkloof romps to convincing win over Garsfontein
Lenique Vogel pulled the strings in the midfield to help Hoërskool Waterkloof put on a show for their home fans and record an emphatic 5-0 win over Hoërskool Garsfontein in their midweek fixture at Garsfontein on Tuesday evening.
Klofies‘ victory was their second midweek success in the past seven days after they drubbed Hoërskool Montana 9-0 on the previous Tuesday.
“We really stuck to what we do well,” Omari Pienaar-Geyer, the Waterkloof coach, told SuperSport Schools News.
“The girls kept their composure and trusted our structures. We moved the ball with purpose, didn’t force passes, and played together as a team.”
Pienaar-Geyer and her charges will be hoping to carry that form into their forthcoming match against Affies Meisies at Affies on Friday.
Waterkloof has put together an impressive recent run against Affies in recent meetings. Last year, they won 1-0 in a league encounter. Earlier this year, at the St Mary’s Waverley Festival, they squeezed out a 2-1 win.
Waterkloof, who scored in all four chukkas of the game, opened the floodgates against Garsies with a strike from Renske Smit in the first chukka. She was on the end of a move that began in the midfield with Lenique Vogel forcing a turnover close to the halfway line before she fed Elain Haycock, who found Smit in the circle.
Vogel, who ruled the roost in the middle of the park, was also instrumental in the second goal. She and Mila Badenhorst combined smoothly to advance into Garsfontein’s final third before Badenhorst unleashed a shot from just inside the circle.
Badenhorst’s strike was the first of two goals scored in the second chukka. The other one was Alba Lambinon’s tap-in at the far post, with Vogel providing the assist.
Lize Wiltz extended the Klofies’ lead to 4-0 in the third chukka before Mila Rodenburg made it 5-0 in the final quarter by steering the ball into the back of the net from Nicole Smuts’ reverse cross into the circle.
“The most impressive thing was that the girls turned chances into goals,” Pienaar-Geyer summarised her charges’ strong performance.
Result
Waterkloof 5-0 Garsfontein
