The
eight schools that participated in the Gauteng provincial finals were divided
into two Groups and competed in a round robin with the teams topping the log
meeting in the final.
“It
is one thing to win the tournament, but what I am really ecstatic about is
being the highest goal scorer,” said Stanley Muishond, who scored 9 goals in 4
games for the School of Excellence, including two goals in the final.
“This has given me a boost of confidence and proves that hard work pays off.”
Khabo
Zondo, coach of the School of Excellence, is proud of his players and believes
this has been a good learning experience for the youngsters. “When I
joined the School last year I noted that the players did not believe in
themselves. My first task was to instil discipline and build player
confidence and this win shows that this tactic worked. I believe this win
is just the start of great things to come for the School.”
The
SAFA- Transnet Football School of Excellence was started by ex Bafana Bafana
and Kaizer Chiefs captain, Neil Tovey in 1994 with the sole purpose of grooming
talented players for the international stage. Steven Pienaar, currently
playing for Everton is a product of the School.
Coach,
Hendrick Kgosana from Rosina Sedibane, was disappointed not to have won, but
pleased they still have a chance to win the R1 million in the National
Finals. “The final was not an easy game, but my players did well and were
tactically disciplined on the field which will work in our favour in the
National Finals.” Rosina included a number of players that are with the
SuperSport United Academy.
Kgosana
believes that South African football development is definitely on the right
track: “This is the third year we have competed in the Sanlam Kay Motsepe
Schools Cup and what I have noticed is how competitive the tournament gets each
year. I am pleased at the way my players absorbed the pressure.”
Rosina was the Gauteng champion in 2010 but only managed a 5th place
finish in the National Finals that year.
Rosina
captain, Thabo Moloi, played in the Sanlam Kay Motsepe Schools Cup in 2011 and
has also been part of the Under 17 National Team. “We were beaten on
penalties today, but I am confident we will do well in the National
Finals. Our team has improved a lot in a year. We are more
tactically disciplined and we applied all the methods the coach taught us.”
The
final provincial final takes place in the Western Cape on 1 September.
