Pinetown Boys’ High<\/strong> and St Mary’s DSG, Kloof<\/strong>, went back-to-back as champions of the Kearsney Soccer Tournament<\/strong> on Saturday, while Ashton Ballito<\/strong> claimed the honours in the primary school competition.<\/p>\n

It was far from simple for Pinetown, however. They faced Gqeberha’s Urban Academy<\/strong>, with whom they had drawn goalless in the group stage, for the title, and Urban Academy hadn’t yet conceded a goal.<\/p>\n

Pinetown had scored more than Urban Academy on their way to the final, but they had, at least, conceded once in a 2-1 win over Glenwood High<\/strong>, a team that Urban Academy comfortably beat 3-0.<\/p>\n

Once more, both defences held firm and, in cold and wet conditions, the title game went down to a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

Pinetown, who recently claimed the Kloof High Football Tournament title<\/strong> <\/a>after a penalty shootout win over the Absa Wildklawer champion, Virginia High School<\/strong><\/a>, demonstrated their BMT once more, claiming victory by a 3-1 margin from the spot.<\/p>\n
