It became abundantly clear at the SA Women’s Interprovincial Hockey Tournament on Greenfields Turf in Pietermaritzburg on Thursday that the form teams and front runners for the 2014 title are Southern Gauteng and Northern Blues.
Both sailed through their third last pool matches with absolute ease and look primed to repeat the medicine when they tackle their semi final opponents on Friday.
Northerns cantered to a 6-1 win over a feisty Border who never threw in the towel but were outgunned in all departments. Blues striker Jacinta Jubb is a considerable threat in the strike and her lethal finishing earned the Tuks student a brace that included a penalty corner and one field goal.
Pool B winners Blues other goals came from Marlene Nortje, Jenna Shuker, Marghuerite van Wyk and Kim Hubach while Marlies van der Stel got on the score sheet for the East Londoners.
