Bonolo Motlhaping, captain of Welkom-Gimnasum’s first hockey team:
I would like to start off by thanking the Lord for blessing us with talent and the opportunity to have a derby this year. We have missed it dearly. Thank you to all the coaches for taking the time to mould and support each player.
Dankie aan die skole, onderwysers, borge, ouers en gemeenskap wat hierdie dag moontlik maak.
Aan al die spanne wat deelneem: Mag goeie gees en sportmanskap seëvier.
To my team, my sisters, it is an honour to lead you at the derby of 2022.
Wees sterk. Daar’s werk.
