Parktown Boys’ High School<\/strong> hosted 10 hockey schools from across Gauteng for the u16 Alan Monk Top 10 Tournament<\/strong>, between 30 April and 3 May, and when the smoke had settled after four days of competition, Jeppe High School for Boys<\/strong> had walked away as the champion.<\/p>\n

The Kensington kids put together six outstanding performances and overpowered their rivals,\u00a0King Edward VII School (KES<\/em>)<\/strong>, 4-0 in the final.<\/p>\n

From the first blast of the whistle, Jeppe established themselves as the team to beat. They opened with a confident 4-2 win over a tough Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool<\/strong> (Affies<\/em><\/strong>) side and then overran Ho\u00ebrskool Monument <\/strong>6-1.<\/p>\n

Those two wins set the table for a clinical demolition of St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong>, with Jeppe powering their way to a breathtaking\u00a014-0 victory. They wrapped up pool play with a comfortable 5-0 win over the hosts, Parktown Boys’ High.<\/p>\n

That set up a semi-final showdown with Pretoria Boys High School<\/strong>, and they proved to be a tougher challenge. It was a tight affair, but Jeppe triumphed again, this time by a 3-1 margin, which put them through to the title game against KES<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With silverware on the line, Jeppe dominated possession and effectively punished defensive mistakes by KES to run out comfortable winners.<\/p>\n

In six matches, the winners tallied a remarkable 36 goals while conceding only four. Those statistics underline their control at both ends of the field.<\/p>\n

Jeppe also picked up individual accolades, with Jadon Havinga<\/strong> being named the Defender of the Tournament for his rock-solid presence at the back, while Tshimologo Mogale<\/strong> lit up the front line and claimed the Forward of the Tournament award with his sharp and clinical finishing.<\/p>\n

The runner-up, KES<\/strong><\/em>, began their run to the final slowly, drawing 1-1 with Pretoria Boys High<\/strong> and 2-2 with Ho\u00ebrskool Noordheuwel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They were pushed hard by St John’s College but claimed a 3-2 win in their third outing. They, then, completed their pool fixtures with a 2-0 defeat of Kempton Park<\/strong>. KES saved their best for the semi-finals, convincingly beating Noordheuwel 4-1.<\/p>\n

Despite their final four defeat , the Krugersdorp school made an outstanding impression and wrapped up their campaign by claiming third place, just ahead of Pretoria Boys High, in fourth, and Noordheuwel’s rivals, Ho\u00ebrskool Monument, who completed the top five.<\/p>\n
