An explosive experience indeed!!!..
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1………….. Getting ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Varsity Cup netball season 3,round 3 took off once again with great intercepts and ball techniques.
I personally got a chance to meet the Kovsies netball team, and their awesome managing team.
I can’t begin to describe the great experience I had getting to know them and having a ‘behind the
scenes’ with them. The dedication and hard work they put in is indescribable but luckily it shows off
on court!
At first, I was SOOOOOO shy and overwhelmed while I got to meet a few players I look up to_Karla
Mostert, the queen of defence and Ane’ Botha. But after a while these girls made me feel as if I was
part of their little family. Jokes were flying around, I could feel their unity by just seeing how their
manager Corne’ offered protein foods to keep them focused, healthy and energized for the
upcoming game. It actually made me want to be part of them, not just interviewing them and being
a fly on the wall but actually uniting with them. The most humble and talented team…
Kovsies thrashed UCT 91-19 . For a moment I zoned out just embracing each players tactic. An
amazing sight it was indeed!!! Not even the joy of winning a million dollars could top that exciting
feeling I had next to the court. I bet that it feels even better on court!
After such an astonishing game, with pride I can say that those girls definitely made me realize my
dream and making it better..
My message to Mrs Burtha de Kock, 13 years of coaching the Kovsie netball team, you are the
BOSS!!! I salute you and all your hardworking players.
Well done. We believe in you because in the end, only a Kovsie knows the feeling.
