The University of Witwatersrand was a hive of activity this past weekend with various institutions trying to qualify for the USSA tournament. The USSA tournament will be on week of the 05 – 10 April 2009 and the Venue for the National Tournament is in Tshwane, at the University of Pretoria, Gauteng. The tournament is in April due to the World Student Games taking place in July 2009.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the match between Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and the hosts The University of the Witwatersrand (TUT), with the winner assured of a place in the Institution showpiece.
Before all that took place, there were a few games in the morning building up to the main event. In the 9 o clock games, The Wits ladies made easy work of a TUT team that looks really out of their depth. Here is an indepth look at the Wits ladies team: With a thin team of only nine players this year, one could think they’re destined for doom, but the USSA qualifiers are yet to tell the truth. Their first test was against UJ ladies last week thursday, and as always, a tough one too. Wits started off strong with one and two point lead battles with Uj in the first two quarters, but as the final quarters drew closer, it seemed they had given up a war worth fighting for. The final score was that of a 20 point lead by UJ.
Sunday morning came, and Wits looked refreshed and ready for their next trial against TUT. Most who hadn’t been following the game from the beginning thought there was an error with the score board as the score was 2-47, with TUT down. The final score was 10-83 and it was clear Wits had made up for their defeat during the week against UJ. The Wits men also had an easy time against a Medunsa team that looks like they haven’t had time to prepare for the tournament. Continue reading »
