\"\"A new champion will be crowned at the St David’s Marist Inanda Hoops Classic Challenge<\/strong> on Sunday after the defending champion, St Benedict’s College<\/strong>, was eliminated from title contention on Saturday in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Bennies<\/strong> fought tenaciously to retain the title and they put together a good run.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, they faced a tricky quarterfinal clash with Pretoria Boys High<\/strong> and came away with a 55-47 win. That put them into the semifinals against St John’s College<\/strong> and that was where, unfortunately for St Benedict’s, their ride came to an end.<\/p>\n

St John’s had booked their place in the final four with a tough 60-51 win over Jeppe<\/strong>, but it was even tighter in their showdown with Bennies. It was neck-and-neck all the way, but St John’s prevailed by two points, snatching a 50-48 victory.<\/p>\n

They’ll face their old rivals, St Stithians College<\/strong>, in the championship match. Saints<\/strong> secured their spot in the title decider in convincing style, cruising to a 57-37 win over King Edward VII (KES) in their final-four matchup. They controlled the contest throughout to confidently advance.<\/p>\n

Those results have left St Benedict’s and KES to duel for the bronze medal, while the hosts, St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong>, will also have a shot at glory when their u15 side goes up against St Alban’s College<\/strong> in the final of that age group.<\/p>\n

St David’s had too much firepower for St Stithians in the semifinals, rolling to a 54-34 win, while St Alban’s slid past St Benedict’s, snatching a one-point victory by a 44-43 margin.<\/p>\n
