VETERAN hockey official Virginia “Ginny” Ross will contest for the vice presidency of the Africa Hockey Federation (AfHF) in elections set for South Africa next month. Ross will be up against South Africa’s Sheila Brown and AfHF secretary-general Nii Quaye-Kumah from Ghana at the federation’s congress. Ross is presently an AfHF executive board member.
An elated Ross said she was honoured to be nominated for the position.
“It’s awesome to be nominated as one of the three candidates as it shows that as a country we’re doing something right in terms of the sport.
“However, it’s just a nomination. If I win, I’ll continue my job as an executive member, but if I lose that would be it,” said Ross.
Two other HAZ officials, vice-president Humphrey Chigwedere and Sarah Bennett, would be vying to be committee members.
