GEORGE NEWS - One of the most versatile sportswomen in Eden, Jacki Rabie, will now also represent the province on the hockey field.
Two years ago George Herald reported that Rabie was elected as the best woman under 21 bowls player at the national provincial bowls tournament held in Bloemfontein.
At school level she also represented Eden in the annual Nomads Golf Tournament held in Klerksdorp and was one of the most talented young players in the tournament.
Jacki's latest achievement is her election as one of the Eden squad members to compete in the SA Country Districts (SACD) Hockey Tournament after trials held in Knysna.
The triumphant team of NMU, the Madibaz, was particularly successful, with 9 of the team being elected to the squad of 19 players.
Jacki is also a qualified hockey coach and one of the coaches at York High where she is a teacher.
The NMU ladies that made the Eden SACD squad are Aimee Cronjé, Frieda Jansen van Vuuren, Kylee Viljoen, Jayde Viljoen, Jacki Rabie, Bianca Banfield, Francis Martens, Jenna Rooyakkers and Maruchelle Henning.
