Eagles fly high.

Team 'Eagles' is the first all female team to earn Provincial Colours for the League of Legends esports title at a Gauteng Provincial Championships.

The stellar results achieved by the team, under the direction of Claire Holmes, has allowed the team to creep into pole-position and just edge out 'Valkyrie' of Valhalla
