\"\"<\/p>\n

The Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool from Pretoria is once again the champion of Gauteng in the DStv Schools Challenge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The team from Pretoria is therefore a step closer to defending their national title. Affies defeated Menlopark by 27-23 in a closely contested clash on Saturday at Ho\u00ebrskool Florida in Roodepoort.<\/p>\n

Menlopark won the clash earlier between the two schools in the Jubilee league by 31-30. The Parkies also enjoyed a narrow lead of 7-6 after the first quarter in the Gauteng final.<\/p>\n

Affies managed to claw back in the second quarter to make sure the teams rest with the score deadlocked at 12-all.<\/p>\n

In the third quarter, Affies found their third gear and managed to build up a 21-16 lead.<\/p>\n

Bianca Lubbe<\/strong> (goal shooter), Anja Roux<\/strong> (wing defence) and Anouk Janse van Rensburg<\/strong> (wing attack) produced exhilarating performances for the champions.<\/p>\n

The national tournament of the DStv Schools Challenge<\/strong> will take place on 12 and 13 July this year. Affies have been crowned champions a total of seven times (2001, 2009, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2023) since the inaugural tournament back in 1998. It was then still known as the SA Top Schools tournament.<\/p>\n

Affies booked their place in the Gauteng final with a 36-18 victory over Waterkloof, while Menlopark defeated Garsfontein by 29-24 in the other semi-final. These four teams from Pretoria will also be the four Botho representatives from Gauteng at the DStv Schools Challenge.<\/p>\n

Waterkloof defeated Garsfontein by 25-24 in the play-off for the third and fourth position.<\/p>\n
