Kovsies’ Antonet Louw scored in the dying moments of the match to snatch the fifth position away from UJ with a final score of 4-2, in Potchefstroom on Monday afternoon.
UJ had the momentum in the first chukka but Kovsies’ defence remained calm under the pressure. Kovsies fought back as Lezanne Vermaak made her mark when she got into the circle to strike and took the lead for her team as they headed into halftime 2-0 up.
In the third chukka UJ had the momentum and attacking opportunities but lacked the skill to round off their short corners. UJ’s Lanne Rossouw fought back for her team as she managed to strike and find the back board to equalise. The score locked at 2-2.
But it would end in dramatic fashion as Antonet Louw’s late flick sealed the match for her side, and UJ ended in sixth position in this year’s tournament.
