Maritzburg College<\/strong> will be defending the title they won 3-2 last year in a memorable final against Carter High School<\/strong>, which could have gone either way. It was, arguably, the game of the year in the KZN region.<\/p>\n

This time around, both of last year’s finalists will again be among the frontrunners for the honours. Carter is aiming for a hattrick of titles in 2024, having already won the KZN Inland League’s 2nd term competition<\/a> <\/strong>and the inaugural Carter High Super Cup<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They beat Maritzburg College 1-0 in the group stage of the Inland Championship and repeated that scoreline in the final. In their most recent meeting, though, on 20 July, College beat Carter 2-1. The point is, there is next to nothing to separate the teams.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are other challengers who should not be discounted, and the exciting thing about the FA Cup is that it is wide open.<\/p>\n

Michaelhouse<\/strong>, with a semi-final spot at the Primo Big 10<\/a><\/strong>, which came courtesy of a 1-0 quarterfinal win over Hilton, showed they’re a team to be reckoned with, and the hosts, too, will bear watching.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sides like Ixopo<\/strong> and Edendale Technical<\/strong> could spring a surprise. Ixopo enjoyed an excellent first season in the Inland league, while Edendale, although they debuted in the B League, showed they’re a solid unit, and the outstanding achievements of their girls’ team, the best in South Africa, suggests the coaching at Edendale is top notch.<\/p>\n
