There will also be a number of exiting juniors involved and the one name that stands out is of that former KES pupil Lwazi Monakali. Wits will be out to qualify for the 2017 Varsity Cup 7’s tournament which will happen in Durban in December.

VW SA and Wits Sport will be hosting the Bi annual u12 VW SA Junior Masters football tourney in December 2017.
VW SA and Wits Sport will be hosting the Bi annual u12 VW SA Junior Masters football tourney, at the Dig fields and Hall 29. The 300 player participants and their coaches will be accommodated in Barnato Residence
The event is from the 7-10th December 2017. Wits sport hosted this prestigious and successful event in 2015, where 16 dealerships select professional and amateur clubs to play under their dealership umbrella for the weekend, with the winning team going to represent SA overseas (Winner played Paris in 2016)
This year the Wits Hockey Club will initiate the first of what is to become an annual development initiative aimed at developing hockey at a grass roots level
The programme for this project consists of two days of world class coaching during a weekend camp in September 2017.
During this weekend 50 young players aged between 12 and 13 years old- who play at hockey clubs in economically disadvantaged communities- will be coached by passionate provincial and national level players at the Wits Hockey stadium. Our goal is to grow the skills base of these young athletes, as well as their confidence and love of the game.
It is our wish that this initiative grows, into a sustained project, that can include more young athletes. The weekend camp is the start of our club’s engagement in empowering young hockey players.
Wits Sport and CCDU will be hosting the first annual Peak Performance Summit at Sturrock Park in November 2017.
Many sport professionals will share some of their "inside information" about the sporting industry and give valuable lessons for athletes and coaches alike. Some of the more famous guest speakers include John Mitchell from the Blue Bulls and Stephen Pienaar from Bidvest, Everton and Spurs fame.
The 2017 fencing season for provincial competition came to end with the Gauteng Closed championships, on the 21st and 22nd of October
This was the last provincial competition for the year and the Wits fencers ended the season on a high note! Natalija Cerimaj and Andrea Cabanac walked out of Orland Community Hall sporting bronze and gold medals respectively, both in the category of Senior Women’s Foil. After a long absence from fencing, veteran fencer Tarryn Maggs returned to competition in full force and dominated in the pools round, despite taking a break from training. Our male fencers fought valiantly to remain in the top ten of Senior Men’s foil, and all three of them managed to hold their positions. It is also with great pride that we say that Andrea Cabanac is now ranked 1st in Gauteng for senior women’s foil until the start of the next fencing season – once again showing South African fencing that Wits is a university to be reckoned with.
The provincial rankings after this tournament, and until 2018, are as follows:
Women’s Foil Women’s Epée
Andrea Cabanac – 1st Andrea Cabanac - 5th
Natalija Cerimaj – 3rdNatalija Cerimaj - 9th
Tarryn Maggs – 11th Tarryn Maggs – 17th
Men’s Foil Men’s Epée
Frankie Snyman – 6th Mike Gaynor – 13th
Daniel Chen – 7thDaniel Chen – 15th
Mike Gaynor – 8th Paulo Graca – 17th
Frankie Snyman– 18th
We are immensely proud of our first team fencers that participated, and we eagerly await the next – and final – national tournament of 2018: the Gauteng Open will take place on the 2nd and 3rd of December. Good luck to all our athletes for final exams!
