U14B
Captain, Abigail Pitie, wished to add the following:
“ Once the whistle blows for a game, we are ‘men’
– one of our motivational sayings before the matches. We have made fond memories of our “yes, yes,
yes” to our hilarious leg swings and our crazy performance of our war cry; but most importantly, our
super-coach-wonder-lady, Mrs Nel. Thank you for
an amazing season. “Who are, who are, who are
we? We are Under 16 B!”

The u14B girls started the season off poorly but
after some bonding and getting to know each other
they grew, not only as a group but most importantly
as individuals. The season had a few ups and downs
with injuries and losing a few players but the girls
managed to push through. When looking back at the
season, we managed to draw most of our games and
only lost to our biggest rivals, but all in all it was an
enjoyable and good season.

This season with my team of girls was definitely a
highlight.
Astro practices were a huge amount of fun and it
was great to see their improvement on the turf. There
were some alarmed faces when the word “fitness”
was mentioned, but we all had fun and made the
best of it while doing squats and running doggies.
We didn`t win every match, but there were some
very pleasing scores. We do owe it all to our coach,
Lynn Prinsloo, as she has taught us so much about
hockey skills, but more importantly, how to enjoy
the game. With her smiling face on the sideline,
giving us guidance and encouragement, it was not
possible to have a bad attitude. She has been a huge
inspiration and role model to me and the team. We
will definitely miss all the laughs and good times we
had in our U/14A hockey team, but we will take all
the memories with us wherever we go.
