I would appreciate if each zone convenor could inform me of the details of his/her Zone Representative, including Coach's information, uniform colour, as soon as a Zone Champion is declared. I wiil only accept the name of the Zone Representative from the Zone Convenor. It is also important that the Coaches make themselves familiar with the SOSSA rules and regulations.
Remind all students that they are representing both their Schools and Zones and are to act accordingly.
Once again, congratulations on your Championship, we look forward to seeing you on the 9th.
