Linden High School’s first team boys’ hockey makes history.Hoërskool Linden’s boys’ hockey first team finished off their brilliant season on the 6^th of August by walking away as the Noordvaal-hockey champions in the B-devision, defeating Hoërskool Merensky of Tzaneen, 4-2 at the finals held at Hoërskool Zwartkop in Pretoria. By doing so the team made history by winning all the major titles available to them this season. Earlier this year the team also won their league as well as the Aitken & Boden B-division, winning against Hoërskool Monument, and the “Superreeks” played in term one.

This is a first for any Linden team and will be remembered for a long time to come. This team, who is coached by mr Leon Keulder, has worked hard throughout the season and went on to prove themselves worthy of the title champions. The school is tremendously proud of all their achievements as well as the exceptional development of hockey as a sport in Hoërskool Linden. The team of staff and players has had a memorable season with great momentum to build on in the years to come.
