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.
Students and management pray for campus

About 35 black and white students from the University of the Free State spontaneously formed a circle in front of the Main Building of the Main Campus in Bloemfontein late afternoon on Thursday 28 February 2008 to pray for the university in view of the extremely offensive and racist video that surfaced during the week and caused world-wide reaction. The students were joined by the Rector and Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Frederick Fourie, and other members of the top management who were busy with a meeting at the time. The group was interdenominational and the students hugged each other afterwards.
