The Kovsie men’s and women’s hockey teams have positive expectations for the University Sport South Africa (USSA) national student tournament.
The USSA championships were hosted by the University of the Free State (UFS) from 2 to 6 July 2018. This year’s championships will have 45 competing teams and will thus be the biggest ever USSA hockey tournament.
For the female squad to qualify for the 2019 Varsity Sports tournament, they have to secure a spot among the top-seven teams. In order to get back into the A section, the Kovsie men’s team must win their tournament.
The matches are scheduled to take place on the UFS Bloemfontein Campus astro fields.
The UFS women’s team, captained by Antonet Louw, is set to play on Monday at 15:35 against Nelson Mandela University (NMU); on Tuesday at 17:00 against the University of Johannesburg (UJ); and on Wednesday at 18:25 against North-West University (NWU). The play-off matches will take place on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
The men’s team, with Cheslyn Neethling as captain, will play on Monday at 17:00 against the Central University of Technology; on Tuesday at 15:35 against the Tswane University of Technology; on Wednesday at 17:00 against the Vaal University of Technology; on Thursday at 18:25 against the University of KwaZulu-Natal; and on Friday at 15:35 against Rhodes University.

Kovsies are eagerly awaiting the finals of the Steinhoff Koshuis League after Steinhoff Vishuis smashed the Steinhoff Villagers of the North-West University with 57-3 in the semi-finals on Monday, 22 March 2010.
When looking at their performance this week, it is clear that Steinhoff Vishuis will be extremely dangerous in next week’s final!

On Monday, 22 March 2010 Shimlas played in the semi-finals against Ikeys of the University of Cape Town. They lost 27-21.
In general it was a good season for the Shimlas, who for the first time played in the semi-finals. Congratulations once again to our Shimlas with their good performance in the FNB Varsity Cup.
