\"Northwood
Northwood had far too much firepower for Curro Salt Rock in their second-round Cowie Cup clash.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During the past week’s second round of the KZN High School Football Association’s (KZNHFSA) Cowie Cup<\/strong>, Northwood School<\/strong> faced Curro Salt Rock<\/strong>. The Knights were dialled in, singularly focussed on a place in the quarterfinals of the Cowie Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When they’re on song, Northwood can be devastating – strong in defence and deadly on the counterattack.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Curro Salt Rock, they ran into a Northwood side at its best and were bowled over, with the Durban school powering its way to a staggering 12-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Allan Govender<\/strong>\u00a0and Sphe Gigaba<\/strong> both bagged hattricks for Northwood, while Owami Maduna<\/strong>\u00a0and Obi Kelechi<\/strong> added doubles. Further goals from Lwazi Ngcece<\/strong>\u00a0and Daan van Huyssteen<\/strong> completed the scoring for the winners.<\/p>\n

Maritzburg College<\/strong>, who are chasing a first title of 2024, turned on the style in their second-round clash with Kloof High<\/strong>. College dominated the game and secured a 4-0 victory. The prolific Mazithi Qasha <\/strong>struck twice, while Nzolo Ngcemu<\/strong> and Wandile Zondi\u00a0<\/strong>added to the tally, to ensure a comfortable passage for the Red, Black and White<\/strong> into the quarters.<\/p>\n

A big game awaits College in the last eight. They’ll face Carter High School<\/strong> for a fourth time this season. Carter won the first two meetings of the sides, while College was victorious in their most recent match. One of Carter’s victories came in the final of the KZNHSFA 2nd Term Inland League<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reigning champions, Port Shepstone<\/strong>, were involved with an 11-goal thriller against Redwood College <\/strong>and only one goal separated the teams at its conclusion, with Sheppie claiming an eye-opening 6-5 win.<\/p>\n

In the quarterfinals, Port Shepstone will face Empangeni<\/strong>, who were also involved in a high-scoring game, defeating Amanzimtoti<\/strong> 5-3.<\/p>\n

Matters were tight between Alexandra High School<\/strong> and Ixopo Secondary School<\/strong>, with Alex sneaking a 1-0 win. New Forest<\/strong> also won by a single goal, beating Thomas More College<\/strong> 2-1.<\/p>\n

Westville Boys’ High School<\/strong> was pushed hard by Durban Academy<\/strong>, but the Griffin <\/strong>came away with a 3-2 victory to move on to the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
