After heavy rainfall resulted in day two of the Cape Town International Hockey Tournament <\/strong><\/a>being called off, the third day of action delivered scintillating hockey in wet conditions as four Western Cape<\/strong> sides booked their places in the semi-finals of the tournament on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Defending champions, South African College High School<\/strong> (SACS), defeated Durbanville High<\/strong> 7-2 in their quarterfinal. Meanwhile, Parel Vallei<\/strong> (PV)<\/strong> claimed the scalp of Repton A,<\/strong> beating the UK side 4-1.<\/p>\n

Both sides from the Boland area, Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong>\u00a0and Paul Roos Gimnasium,<\/strong> also secured their spots in the final four, beating Repton B<\/strong> 5-1 and Worcester Gimnasium<\/strong> 8-0 respectively.<\/p>\n

SACS will take on coach Michael van Rensburg<\/strong>‘s PV side in the first semi, before a clash of the rivals when Paarl Gim and Paul Roos meet in the second semi-final on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Road to the last four<\/strong><\/p>\n

To reach the last four, coach Sam Holmes’ SACS side powered their way through their pool, recording four wins and scoring 27 goals without conceding.<\/p>\n

After impressive victories on the opening day<\/a><\/strong> in which they beat Windhoek Afrikaanse Privaatskool<\/strong> 5-0 and Bridge House<\/strong> 7-0, they returned on day three to put eight past Repton B<\/strong>, before concluding their pool obligations with a 7-0 thumping of Curro Durbanville<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Adan Thompson<\/strong> (2), Regan Wille<\/strong> (3), and Litha Kraai<\/strong> (3) were to the fore in their big win over Repton B, while, against Curro, Kraai and Jo le Roux<\/strong> both netted twice, while Aiden Hughes<\/strong>, Mohlodi Maseko<\/strong>, and Daniel Graser<\/strong> also got their names onto the score sheet.<\/p>\n

In Parel Vallei, who are under the guidance of Michael van Rensburg, they come up against a team that’s hungry to cause an upset. Like their girls’ team, PV has yet to taste defeat at the tournament, and posted three wins and a draw in their four pool matches.<\/p>\n

In their quarterfinal clash, they had to get past a gritty Repton A side, but a double from the young and exciting Luka Meets<\/strong>, plus further goals from Sibulele Makeleni<\/strong>\u00a0and Tristan Rautenbach<\/strong>, took them to a convincing 4-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, coach Michael Baker’s Paul Roos<\/strong> Gimnasium<\/strong> (PRG)<\/strong> young guns shrugged off their opening day defeat against Repton A, and on Friday played an exciting brand of hockey, which launched them to the top of Pool C.<\/p>\n

In their first encounter of the day, they defeated Ho\u00ebrskool Outeniqua<\/strong> 6-1, with skipper Christo Swanepoel<\/strong>\u00a0and Callum van Oudtshoorn<\/strong> striking twice each. Seth Paterson<\/strong>\u00a0and Logan Lackay<\/strong> completed the drubbing.<\/p>\n

Then, a 2-1 win over Somerset College<\/strong> set them up for a date with Worcester Gimnasium<\/strong> in the last eight.<\/p>\n

PRG started slowly, but then dialled up the intensity to power their way to an 8-0 quarterfinals’ win.<\/p>\n

Swanepoel<\/strong>, who represented the Boland u18A<\/a> <\/strong>side at the SASHOC National Week<\/a><\/strong> and was selected for the SA Schools u17 side, scored a hattrick.\u00a0Ruben Gouws<\/strong>, Ruan Strauss<\/strong>, Charles Lombard<\/strong>, Tylor Carter<\/strong>\u00a0and Van Oudtshoorn <\/strong>netted the other goals.<\/p>\n

Standing in their way for a place in the title-decider is coach Jacques Grobler<\/strong>\u2019s Paarl Gimnasium team.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been one of the standout sides of the tournament and finished the pool stage with an unbeaten record, scoring 18 times while conceding only twice.<\/p>\n

Gimmies, captained by LD Nel<\/strong>, beat Durbanville<\/strong> 1-0 on Friday before ruthlessly thumping Uppingham<\/strong> 5-0.<\/p>\n

Gim dangerman, Juan Swanepoel<\/strong>, who this week was named in the Namibia u18A side, scored three goals in the two matches.<\/p>\n

In the quarterfinal vs Repton B, Gim trailed 0-1 early on, but a Stephan Pieterse<\/strong> hattrick and goals from Nel and Johann van der Merwe<\/strong> sealed a comfortable 5-1 win for coach Grobler’s troops.<\/p>\n

The action resumes on Sunday in Stellenbosch with SACS, Parel Vallei, Paul Roos and Paarl Gim all eyeing a place in the final and an opportunity to claim the silverware.<\/p>\n
