Wendy Kockott (right) of Peninsula tries to play the ball away from Orpah Pretorius (Free State) in their opening match on Day 1 of the SPAR Women's Hockey IPT in Cape Town. Peninsula won 6-0.  Picture: Reg CaldecottBoland took on the EP Settlers in the opening match of B-Pool at the SPAR Inter-Provincial Hockey tournament in Cape Town on Monday, and after a nil-all half-time score, Boland opened the tournament scoring from a penalty.
 

But the Settlers returned with two quick field goals courtesy Candice van Eck and Sam Lucas in the next eight minutes, to claim bragging rights as the country’s premier league got under way.

Free State also held Peninsula to a nil-all half-time score, but then the coastal girls let go with a flurry of goals to finish a stunned Free State off in a dramatic 6-0 white-wash.
 
Wendy Kockott scored first from a field-goal, and she was followed by Leigh Bierman, Megan Clark and Pamela Bowren all with field goals, before Robyn-Lee McLaren and Rashida Petersen each capitalised off penalty corners.
 
In the day’s final B-Section match, North West and Witwatersrand played to a nil-all draw, to share the points.
