U24
When the U24 ladies found themselves with only 6 players in their team to take on the rest of South Africa, they were offered a few choices by Coach Jean Bester; look for more players, abandon ship or play with their current committed team-mates.
It was not even a choice for these fearless ladies; they remained faithful to themselves and the true spirit of being in a team and decided to take on the rest of SA with just 6 players.
“We are not a team because we work together. We are a team because we respect, trust and care for each other”.
Winning with 6 players in no easy feat, and these young players were determined to do well at this competition which meant dedication to training and fitness.
Their hard work and never-give-up attitude, paid-off with them winning Gold at the Beach and Bush RSA’s Best vs The Rest UPL Tournament.
We congratulate and salute these players – the future Elites of South Africa.
