\"\"Eastern Province A and Boland A made it through to the finals of the u16 SASHOC National Week on Tuesday at the University of Free State.<\/p>\n

Both teams enjoyed a good run in the tournament after winning four of their five games in the Pool stages. They finished the Pools – Province in the first place while Boland fell in number two, both with 13 points. Eastern Province had an advantage of the goal difference.<\/p>\n

Today, coach Andrew Beynon\u2019s <\/strong>side edged Western Province 4-1 in the semifinal to book a spot in the final against Boland.<\/p>\n

They dominated the clash and put their opponents on the back foot from the first chukka as Lucy Holderness<\/strong> fired up a Penalty Corner and Jana Prinsloo<\/strong>, doubled the score in the second chukka.<\/p>\n

Western Province raised to fight in the game in the third chukka and denied their opponents the chance to score, as a result, that quarter was completed without a goal.<\/p>\n

However, in the final chukka, the Eastern Cape learners broke the Western side\u2019s defence twice, Holderness registered her second goal and Lisa De Villiers<\/strong> converted the Penalty Corner to make it a 4-0 lead.<\/p>\n

In the last two minutes before the final whistle, Zaney Gerber<\/strong> netted the only goal for Louise Conradie<\/strong>\u2019s side to make the score 4-1.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Boland earned their spot in the final after they outplayed KwaZulu-Natal Coastal 2-0. Philippa Viljoen<\/strong> scored both goals as Boland made their way to fight for the 2024 title.<\/p>\n

The Boland-EP clash will be a repeat of the day four fixture where both sides met in a thrilling encounter, that bettered the goal advantage of the Province.<\/p>\n

The match ended on a 1-1 draw \u2013 a point to each side, thanks to Nicola van der Merwe<\/strong>\u2019s Penalty Corner scored in three minutes and Lucy Holderness<\/strong>\u2019s PC in the second Chukka.<\/p>\n
