Day 2 of the SA Hockey Interprovincial Tournament saw redemption arcs, statement wins, and semi-final places confirmed, at the Hartleyvale Stadium in Cape Town, on Tuesday, 29 July 2025.
With pressure mounting in the pools and every goal carrying weight, teams stepped up across the board, none more so than the SA U21 sides who responded in emphatic fashion.
Women’s A Section
Northern Blues 0–4 SA U21
In a tournament-shaping upset, the Junior Proteas stunned the reigning champions with a near-perfect performance. After a disappointing Day 1, the SA U21s were clinical and composed.
Ntsopa Mokoena opened the scoring, Olympian Taheera Augousti controlled the midfield, and further goals from Anja Tromp, Hannah Quinton (PC) and Jodie Blows sealed a famous victory.
Free State 3–1 KZN Raiders
Free State bounced back from their heavy defeat with a spirited performance. Lisa van der Merwe struck first before KZN Raiders equalised late via Brooklyn Kroutz.
But it was Free State who finished strongest, with Merisone Mokone and Reatile Pitso scoring in the dying minutes to grab a crucial three points.
WP Peninsula 0–1 North West
In a tightly contested Pool A, North West continued their impressive form with a narrow 1-0 win over WP Peninsula.
