Sulette scores for SA

In the Women's World Cup match against Spain last night Sulette Damons came to the party in a big way, and scored a wonderful goal in the last few minutes of the game to win the match for South Africa.  Sulette is certainly not out of her depth at that high level - in fact she looked better than a number of the players who have been in the side for some time.  UHS is tremendously proud of our young hockey star.  If you are on Facebook and have the time - get a message onto Sulette's wall - let her know that we are rooting for her!  The Spain match is repeated on Super Sport 2 at 14.00  and on Super Sport 5 at 18.00 today.  Tune in to see her do UHS proud.   China - on Super Sport 5 at 19.30 tomorrow (repeat on Supersport 2 at 09.00 on Friday; on SS 5 at 12.30 on Saturday).  England on SS5 at 19.30 on Saturday. Korea on 6 September on SS 2 at 22.00.

Some press comments on Sulette's goal:  "Sulette's sizzler sets up investec South Africa hockey upset over Spain";  "Sulette Damons ... scored one of the greatest goals in hockey history to take South Africa ..."; S.A forward Sulette Damons scored a candidate for goal of the tournament to give her team a thrilling win ..."; "Sulette damons brilliantly deflected a high cross into the net with her reverse stick ..."; "S.A. bounced back ... thanks to Damon's wonder strike...".  High praise, indeed.

All the more reason for us to make every effort to get an astroturf for UHS - come on guys, let Derek Light know how you can help.  Check the "projects" link.
