The night wouldn’t have been possible without the assistance from Ekurhuleni Sports and Recreation, who have been working with the program for the past 5 years, as well as Lizah Rubisane who devoted a big portion of her time and effort to make sure the night had all that it needed to run smoothly.
Lastly, a big thank you goes out to all the school teams, players, parents and coaches who made the league a success and a competitive one to help grow the sport we all love. We look forward to a bigger and better 2017 Season!
