Men 1s 2 - 1 ORA

The Men's 1st XI must have been inspired by the Ladies A team, as they also booked themselves into the post-season with a goal in the dying minutes of their last league game.

Starting the game with just 10 men, the team started aggressively and took the lead in the first half from a superb drag flick by Gary.

The second half saw THC take the game to ORA in search of a second goal, but some controversial umpiring gifted ORA a short corner from which they levelled the score.

With no subs, THC had to dig deep but were rewarded for their determination in the dying minutes with a second goal and, with it, a place in the post-season.

Ladies As 1 - 0 SCC

The Ladies A team left it until the last match of the regular season to qualify for the post-season but they did so in one of the most exciting games of their campaign.

A highly motivated SCC employed a determined long-ball game with 2 high forwards, but they were efficiently neutralised by some solid defending and excellent communication in the back line.

An end-to-end game kept the crowd at the edge of their seats in a match that saw SCC hit the post and THC have a flick saved.

It was left for Kok to finally get on the score sheet with just 4 minutes left on the clock and secure all 3 points and, with them, cement 4th place in the league.

THC can feel proud of their season so far and go into the play-offs with an air of confidence in their stride.
