DAY 4| Girls| Kontopirakis’s double leads Somerset to Belgotex glory

Somerset College‘s centre-forward Alexia Kontopirakis bagged a double in the Cup final of the Belgotex Sport Easter Hockey Tournament to seal a 2-0 win for her side over Hoërskool Middelburg in the southern suburbs of Cape Town on Saturday evening.

Kontopirakis fired when it mattered most for her team. Her first goal came late in the third chukka, and she doubled her tally early in the fourth, much to the delight of the travelling fans in the stands.

Entering the title-deciding clash, both teams sported unbeaten records after winning all of their pool games and their subsequent playoff matches. Between them, they had conceded only one goal throughout the course of the tournament.

Both were made to work hard in the semi-finals, with Middelburg eventually easing to a convincing 3-0 win over Rustenburg Girls’ High, while Somerset caused an upset by eliminating the defending champions, Monument, 2-1.

The first two chukkas of the final didn’t produce many meaningful opportunities, with neither team creating clear-cut chances in front of goal. Middelburg, though, forced Somerset to scramble to keep out a penalty corner in the second chukka.

On the other hand, Somerset reverted to overheads to move the ball and maintain possession.

The game changed in the final seconds of the third chukka when Kontopirakis struck a hammer blow for her side by sneaking the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the goalbox after finding herself in space. Her second goal was similar in nature.

Good movement and linking play in the box saw the ball find her stick, and she did what she does best by smashing it into the back of the net.

Middelburg, unlike in their semi-final clash, never really got going, and struggled to create goalscoring opportunities.

It was Somerset College’s first-ever Belgotex Sport Easter Hockey Tournament title.

Reacting to her team’s win, captain of the Somerset College side, Julia Brown, said she was thrilled with the victory.

“I feel privileged and super-proud of this group of girls I play with,” she told SuperSport Schools.

“We had to dig deep in the final, and that’s the beauty of our team, we are resilient, and a little bit extra, which is something I really love.

“This win will be a great confidence boost for us. We just need to keep going, and keep our heads down,” she concluded.

Earlier in the day, the bronze medal match saw last year’s winners, Monument, take on a stern challenge from Rustenburg Girls’ High.

Both sides entered the match hungry to redeem themselves after losing their respective semi-finals on Friday.

Monnas made better use of their opportunities with their SA u17 star Hannah Quinton, and her namesake, Hannah Smyth, scoring in their 2-1 win. Rustenburg’s solitary goal came from Tatum Malherbe.

In other matches, Woodridge College finished in seventh place after edging out Hoërskool Outeniqua (3-0) on penalties following a goalless draw between the sides. Woodridge and Hudson Park, who finished tenth, after going down 0-1 to Fairmont, were the best of the Eastern Cape teams.

Stellenberg edged our Paarl Gimnasium 1-0 to take fifth spot.

Relive all the action on SuperSport Schools.
