SAINTS SA Based Premier Mens Players, Liam Hermanus and Chad Futcher, ended 1st and 2nd respectively at the Top Individual Goal Scorers Table at the recent SA Indoor IPT held in Joburg SA. They notched up a World Class Total of 36 Goals between them.
Sadly even though both the Namibian Men and Ladies Teams were controversially not invited to this years SA Inter Provincial Indoor Tournament after producing a Silver (Men-A section) and Gold (Ladies-B section), SAINTS HC was well represented at this years SA Senior IPT with Liam Hermanus (Mpumalanga), Gillian Hermanus (Western Province) and NEW SA based SAINTS member Chad Futcher (Southern Gauteng). Liam was called up by underdogs Mpumalanga after he did not make the IPT Favourites Southern Gauteng Squad. Little did SG know but Namibia & SAINTS Hockey Fans favourite Liam ended up Top Goal Scorer of the Tournament with a massive 19 Goals, helping Mpumalanga to a 3rd in their Pool just behind the team that ditched him Southern Gauteng. Unfortunately for Mpumalanga, 3rd place in their pool meant that they would miss out on a Semi Final play off opportunity.
On the other side Chad Futcher, SA based SAINTS 2020 season debutante, was close on the heels of Hermanus as Top Goalscorer as he Captained Southern Gauteng to a Semi Final play off. To his dismay they were to lose to KZN Coastal Raiders 3-0 but went on to win the Bronze medal by beating WP Pens 6-4 with Chad scoring a Hat-trick and ending up Tournament 2nd Top Goal scorer behind Hermanus with 17 Goals.
