In their final match of term two, on Friday night, Selborne College <\/strong>put on a masterclass to dismantle Stirling High School<\/a><\/strong> 6-2, and head into the break unbeaten in the Border region.<\/p>\n

Selborne entered the clash after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Makhanda’s St Andrew\u2019s College<\/strong> last weekend at the same venue.<\/p>\n

Stirling, on the other hand, had been edged out 3-2 by their rivals, Hudson Park<\/strong>. They approached Friday night’s match with confidence but were also well aware of how dangerous coach KJ Friend<\/strong>‘s side can be when firing on all cylinders.<\/p>\n

Since returning from a rather disappointing Hibbert Shield<\/strong> campaign, where they finished in ninth spot, and just before that lost 2-5 to Grey College<\/strong>, Selborne, in their in-season derby matches, have been a cut above the rest of the Border region.<\/p>\n

Before the Stirling match, they thumped Dale College 10-1<\/a><\/strong> at their reunion and defeated Cambridge High<\/strong> 6-0, before being held to the aforementioned draw by St Andrew’s.<\/p>\n

The side, captained by Tre’ Gilbert<\/a><\/strong>,<\/a> was focussed on ending the term on a positive note and they did exactly that at the expense of coach Brett Stirk<\/strong>‘s side.<\/p>\n

Thomas Caswell<\/strong>\u00a0and Gilbert struck twice each for Selborne, while\u00a0Jaques van der Merwe<\/strong> and Daniel Sirgel<\/strong>, who have also frequently been among the goal scorers, scored one each.<\/p>\n

Stirling responded with goals from Chad Clark-Evans, and Hisharm Pillay<\/strong>. Pillay will showcase his skills with Border<\/a> <\/strong>at SASHOC National Week<\/a><\/strong> in Bloemfontein later this month.<\/p>\n

In Gqeberha, Pearson High School<\/strong> was made to work hard for a 1-0 win over Woodridge College<\/strong>. The game was initially scheduled for the first weekend of June, but, due to very heavy rain, it was postponed.<\/p>\n

Graeme College<\/strong>, after going down 0-2 to Dale College <\/strong>last weekend, bounced back with a win over Port Alfred<\/strong> by the same scoreline.<\/p>\n

St Andrew’s College <\/strong>and Kingswood College<\/strong> picked up crucial wins ahead of the highly anticipated K-Day<\/strong> next week.<\/p>\n

College travelled to Queen’s College<\/strong>, where goals by Connor McNamara<\/strong>\u00a0and Andrew Holmes <\/strong>secured a hard-fought 2-1 win for coach Dean Ferreira’<\/strong>s team.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kingswood<\/strong> visited Qonce for a showdown with Dale. Chris Painting<\/strong> gave the Makhanda boys the lead before the contest was called off in the final chukka due to what was cited as “bad light”.<\/p>\n

Next week\u2019s action in the Eastern Cape will see Kingswood and St Andrew’s College in the spotlight, battling it out for K-Day bragging rights.<\/p>\n
