\"\"Jeppe High School for Boys<\/strong> heads to Pretoria to take on Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool (Affies) <\/strong>in 14 hockey matches on Friday and Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Affies Girls’ Astro <\/strong>and Pretoria High School for Girls Astro <\/strong>host the Friday matches. The main games – u14A, u16A, 2nd team, and 1st team – all take place on the Affies Girls’ Astro on Saturday, with the 1st team game set for a 10:30 start.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a solid 3-1 victory over Westville Boys’ High<\/strong> in Johannesburg last weekend, the Zebras<\/strong> head into that clash with confidence.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In a hard-fought contest on the Boden AstroTurf<\/strong>, Ezray Stadt<\/strong> put the hosts ahead just before the break. Ben Benjamin<\/strong> doubled their advantage in the third chukka, but Bo Mokoena<\/strong> then pulled one back for the visitors.<\/p>\n

A late strike from Tumiso Kameel<\/strong>, however, ensured the victory went Jeppe’s way.<\/p>\n

Affies, meanwhile, were outplayed by Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong> in Pretoria. The in-form Western Cape side won 3-0.<\/p>\n

Since 2008, Jeppe and Affies have crossed paths nine times, with the Kensington boys winning all but one of those games. That Affies’ win was in 2017, so the hosts will be seeking to buck the trend of Jeppe victories on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Jeppe will be favoured in the game, but they have been inconsistent in 2024, so Affies will feel they have their best opportunity in a long time of adding another win over the Zebras.<\/p>\n
