Monamodi Primary School win the Danone Nations Cup Free State Provincial Finals

Written By Unknown on Friday, April 19, 2013 | Friday, April 19, 2013

Monamodi Primary School from Majwemasweu Township in Brandfort is the 2013 Free State champions in the Danone Nations Cup. They beat Luckhoff Combined School 3-0 in the final, played at the Clive Solomon Stadium in Bloemfontein last weekend, to become the third team to qualify for the national finals of the competition which take place in Johannesburg in July.

The winners of the Danone Nations Cup National Finals will fulfil their dreams by representing South Africa at the Danone Nations Cup World Finals in London later this year where they will perform in front of Danone Nations Cup ambassador and former France captain, Zinedane Zidane.

Monamodi coach, Vuyo Nomatye, was delighted at the result. “This was totally unexpected as this is only our second year in the tournament and our first time at the provincial finals,” he said.  “The boys are excited and everyone at the school is proud of us, because they know how difficult things were at the regional level. Winning the Danone Nations Cup Free State Provincial Finals now means we have to work extra hard as we are only one step closer to the bigger and better title.”


Nomatye puts their success down to determination and hard work. “It took a while for the boys to understand the style of play I was introducing and to work together as a team,” he explains. “Our first four cluster games were difficult, and although we won those games, we were not at our best. I then added an extra 30 minutes to the training sessions and that was when things got better and we managed to win the regional title. We didn’t know what to expect at the provincial finals, so I said to my boys; let’s go there and use the platform as a learning curve, I didn’t think we were going to do so well, let alone win the provincial championship.” Nomatye said that none of his players had every ventured outside the village and the trip to Johannesburg to play in the National Finals will be a learning experience.

Monamodi Primary School now join Rietrivier Primary School from Northern Cape and Siphumele Primary from KwaZulu-Natal in the National Finals. They are waiting for the other six provincial champions to be identified and the first of those will be known on Saturday April 20 when the Limpopo Provincial Finals take place.
