Episode 33 - Deetlefs Delivers by Rayder Media

AJ Spieringshoek took the opportunity of being called up as an assistant coach for the National team in 2019, including mentoring the Emerging South Africa side during the SPAR Indoor Series in Durban. He continues to take every opportunity to learn.


At the 2020 Indoor IPT he led Western Province to their first Indoor IPT final in many years. During the tournament I caught up with AJ to chat all things hockey as well as ultra distance running, the Unogwaja Challenge and the travel industry.

Carrying on with both our #LockdownListening and #Hockey24Seven Tour and next up is goal scoring ace Chad Futcher. Its been a whirlwind year for the Wits University hot shot earning himself a first test cap in both the indoor and outdoor national sides.

At the Indoor Hockey IPT in Ballito I got to chat to Chad about all things hockey, his goal scoring exploits, the challenge of club hockey and the importance of his upbringing in the Eastern Gauteng hockey community.

In Episode 30 of your favourite African Hockey Podcast, Jabu continues to catch up with players at the Indoor IPT of 2020. This time its Player of the tournament Kelly Reed, just six months after giving birth to her first child.

The dimunitive star for the SPAR KZN Raiders talks through her hockey experience, her adventure, the challenge of motherhood, the disappointments of the previous African Cup and the goals of this one.

Its a refreshingly honest chat from a player that just loves the game of hockey

Hockey 24 Seven on tour continues as Jabu chats to Namibian and Mpumalanga Ace Liam Hermanus about his life in hockey. The Osaka star ended the tournament as the top goal scorer for the unfancied Mpumalanga, lighting up the court in Ballito.

Who would Hermanus pick in his dream indoor team, and what does he think of life in Johannesburg and playing for Ricky West.

David Joshua was named as the national head coach of the SA Mens Indoor Hockey side and promptly led them to a 5-0 series victory against top 10 nation Switzerland.

Speaking to Jabu at the Indoor Hockey IPT in Durban, David speaks about the plans ahead, his goals as national coach and of course the tournament itself.
