Tukkie Women's Team ready for Dubai Sevens
Posted on Tuesday 01 December 2009 - 11:40:13 by technical  
The Tukkies Women's team are finally ready to depart to Dubai to take part in the International Women's invitation section of the Emirates Sevens tournament to be held from the 3rd to the 5th of December. After the loss of two key players, one to injury (Yolanda Meiring) and one due to unavailablity (Nicolene Lubbe), the rest of the squad finished their final preparations on Monday and will depart from Johannesburg at 10:35 on Wednesday the second.

From the onset, the team also struggled to secure sponsors for the tournament, although the team has successfully competed in a number of international events. What makes matters worse for this successful team, is the fact that their budget for 2009 was zero to start off with. The team is in fact kept together by the efforts of their coaching staff, Riaan van der Merwe and Konrad Lotter.

The team will play France, Thailand, the USA, and the Moscow region (Russia) in the pools stages.

Despite the struggle to secure finances for this event, the team is positive and want to make a real impact on the international stage.

Squad: Ilse van Staden, Pulane Motluong (Capt), Onicca Moaga, Jennifer Modiba, Annelize Moore, Marlien Cronje, Lala Vazi, Veronica Malantswane, Mapule Moremi, Mariska Loots, Kerry Townley, Cindy Cant.
