Tanya Britz

Tanya Britz is relentlessly escalating the sports ladder. Tanya is part of the National Senior Hockey Team, SA U/21 women’s team and also vice-captain of the Free State U/21 team that won the inter provincial league.

Tanya made it into the Senior National Hockey Team after what she called a “miracle” day on the astro fields. During this day, she was nominated as:
• best player of the tournament,
• top goal scorer, and
• best goal of the tournament.
The team made it to the finals of the provincial league.

“Kovsies is family to me. It has been a great journey with the Kovsie Sport family, and I should say that being a Kovsie is a great feeling,” Tanya says.

“To my fellow Kovsies – never cease to dream, until your dreams become a reality.”
