U-19 Sanlam Kay Motsepe Schools Cup

The second day of the Sanlam Kay Motsepe Schools Cup tournament in Bloemfontein saw the leading contenders cement their positions with Harmony and School of Excellence securing wins to virtually assure themselves of spots in the quarterfinals.

At the end of day one, with three games played, Rosina Sedibane and Harmony were on top of the log in their respective pools, with Mpumalanga’s East High on top of the third pool.

School of Excellence, who are in the same pool as Rosina Sedibane were lying second in their pool.  The two Gauteng schools will meet in the last round of matches today, which will determine who will go through in first place in their group.

In this morning’s session, Harmony and School of Excellence came though their matches successfully, beating Mammoka 1-0 and Gaopalelwe 2-0, respectively.  Rosina Sedibane are up against Cloetesville in the first game after lunch. Cloetesville were in the running after day one, but they lost to KZN’s Ezibukweni this morning and their chances of making the quarterfinals have taken a knock.

A draw or better there will assure Rosina of a spot in the quarterfinals.

Harmony take on the other KZN representatives Emtshezi after lunch and a win there should see them though in Pool C.
