THE South African boys’ hopes of earning a hockey ticket to the Olympic Youth Games in Singapore were dealt a crushing blow yesterday when they lost 2-1 to Egypt at Kat Leisure Park in East London yesterday.

The result, coupled with Ghana’s 11-0 demolition of Zimbabwe, means that victory by Ghana over Egypt today will see SA needing to score big against Kenya to qualify for Saturday’s final.

The South African Men’s Hockey Team would like to take this opportunity to recognise the effort in the form of sponsorships, funding and contributions from individuals and companies. Without your hand of involvement, our participation in the World Cup would not be a reality and for this we are extremely grateful.
