Who will be crowned the champions of the Nedbank Grey Soccer Tournament?<\/strong> That question is on the verge of being answered.<\/p>\n

Following three days of intense competition, the final match of the Nedbank Grey Soccer Tournament is scheduled for Tuesday, 24 September, and it will bring the curtain down on the 2024 edition of the prestigious event.\u00a0St Stithians College<\/strong>, the defending champions, will face Robinvale in the Cup final.<\/p>\n

Saints made it all the way through to the main game despite suffering defeats in their first two matches, which speaks volumes about their mental toughness.<\/p>\n

On day one, they went down to the hosts, Grey College,<\/strong> losing 1-2 and were, then, also beaten 2-0 by Pretoria Boys High. with no more room for error, they grafted their way through their remaining games until they eventually booked a semi-final showdown with Kimberley Boys’ High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That contest finished 1-1\u00a0 before St Stithians advanced 4-2 from the spot, which was, coincidently, the score in the Cup final penalty shootout of 2023, when they got by HTS Louis Botha after the teams had shared a goalless draw.<\/p>\n

Their adversaries in the final, Robinvale<\/strong> scored a 2-1 win over Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> in their semi-final match. Robinvale had impressed in Group D, where they grabbed top spot, but they were given a hard workout by the boys from Cape Town.<\/p>\n

In addition to the gold medal match, the Bowl and Plate finals and playoffs will also take place on Tuesday, with the final rankings to be decided. A match between the coastal and inland coaches will be played just before the Cup final.<\/p>\n
