Glenwood vs Maritzburg College hockey results, 11/12 August 2023

12 August 2023

While Maritzburg College, ultimately, recorded a big 6-1 victory over Glenwood, for a long time it was anything but comfortable. The teams were level at 1-1 at half-time, but College finished strongly, slotting four goals in the fourth chukka to score a win that wasn’t as simple as the scoreline might suggest.

The difference in the fourth chukka, said College coach Kyle Emerson, was a more aggressive press – something that he had been urging his players to do throughout the game – which enabled College to turn the ball over higher up the field and then, with quick passes, create opportunities.

Good finishing, which is the always necessary final piece of the puzzle, delivered the goals.

The A team games in the younger age groups were hard-fought, but College came away with the wins.
