The second day of the u16 Girls’ SASHOC National Week <\/strong>saw Eastern Province A (EP) <\/strong>continue to build on their strong opening day showing.<\/p>\n

After posting two wins Tuesday, while scoring 10 goals and conceding only one, Eastern Province A<\/strong> further extended their dominance in Pool A with a commanding 5\u20131 win over Southern Free State A<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

EP’s attack flowed with almost effortless ease, resulting in goals from Jade Grobler<\/strong>, Chanelle Venter, Iminathi Rungqu<\/strong>, and a superb double from Lucy Holderness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Their forward play was swift and clinical, and it overwhelmed the Free State defence. Despite a well-taken consolation goal from Marichelle Crous<\/strong>, the Free Staters simply had no answer for the defending champion’s pressure and accurate finishing.<\/p>\n

Western Province A<\/strong>, after a draw with Southern Free State in their opener, bagged a 2-1 win over Southern Gauteng A<\/strong> in a tightly contested match.<\/p>\n

In another Pool A match, Southern Gauteng B<\/strong>, after a 1-1 draw with Southern Gauteng A and a 1-5 hammering from Eastern Province on Tuesday, bounced back from that big loss to claim a narrow 1-0 win over Eastern Gauteng<\/strong>, with Caitlyn McLean<\/strong> scoring the match-winner.<\/p>\n

In Pool B, Boland <\/strong>A continued their push for a semi-final place by picking up two wins. In their first outing, they overcame KZN<\/strong> Coastal B<\/strong> 2\u20130 and followed up with a 3-1 victory over Northern Gauteng A<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alanda Rademeyer<\/strong> was the star of their win over Northerns, netting twice, while Frankie Henn<\/strong> added a third. Daniella Grobbelaar<\/strong> replied for Northerns.<\/p>\n

KZN Coastal A <\/strong>was also impressive. In a KZN derby, they edged past KZN Inland A<\/strong>, with a goal from Asanele Zuma <\/strong>securing Coastal a hard-fought 1-0 win.<\/p>\n

Zuma was also on the scoresheet in the afternoon in Coastal’s 4-2 victory over Boland B. Charley-Rose Boyall<\/strong>, Buntu Msweli<\/strong>, and Chelsey Wolf<\/strong> also struck for the KZN team, while Maria Hamman<\/strong> and Zahra Twigg <\/strong>scored for Boland B.<\/p>\n

Northern Gauteng A<\/strong>, beaten by Boland A in the afternoon, went one for two on the day, edging out Boland B 1-0 in their other outing.<\/p>\n

Eastern Province A is setting the pace in Pool A, with a maximum haul of points, and their high-scoring attack, which has generated more goals than any other team in the tournament.<\/p>\n

While EP leads the way in Pool A, in Pool B, KZN Coastal A and Boland A occupy the top two spots, with Northerns not far behind. It looks like a three-horse race for two semi-final places.<\/p>\n
