A busy programme ramped up for the second week of third-term schoolboy football, with the weekend’s action being highlight by a 100th cap for the Maritzburg College 1st team for sharpshooter Mazithi Qasha.<\/p>\n

Mazithi Qasha<\/strong>, the vice-captain and a prolific goal scorer for the Red, Black, and White<\/strong><\/em>, rose to the occasion, scoring twice in the first half on Barns Field<\/strong> to give College a 2-0 lead over Alexander High School<\/strong> at the break.<\/p>\n

Those goals took Qasha’s tally to a mightily impressive 86 goals across all competitions for College in the past three years.<\/p>\n

Though they trailed at half-time, Alex kept working hard, exhibiting determination and resilience, and they were rewarded with a goal that halved Maritzburg College’s lead.<\/p>\n

Malachi Momple<\/strong> then delivered a stunning long-range shot to lift College to a 3-1 win in the local derby.<\/p>\n

The College 2nd XI also triumphed, winning 2-0.<\/p>\n

On Bowden’s Field<\/strong>, Westville Boys’ High<\/strong> comfortably defeated Clifton College 3-0.<\/p>\n

Northwood<\/strong> hosted Springs Boys’ High<\/strong>, from Gauteng, but neither team was able to pry open their opponent’s defence and it ended goalless.<\/p>\n

Also on Saturday, Kearsney College<\/strong> and Hilton College<\/strong> played to a 1-1 draw on Stott’s Field, in Botha’s Hill, while St Charles College<\/strong> and Michaelhouse<\/strong>, playing in Pietermaritzburg, also drew, with neither team able to beat the opposing goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, in the Eastern Cape, the B-Block BWFLA High Schools Football League<\/strong>, also referred to as the East London High Schools Football League<\/strong>, made its return to the football field.<\/p>\n

The defending champions, Stutterheim High School<\/strong>, started the second leg of the league with a commanding 6-1 victory over West Bank<\/strong>. Selborne College<\/strong> also enjoyed a successful outing, matching Stutterheim’s success with an impressive 6-1 win over George Campbell<\/strong>. De Vos Malan<\/strong> edged out Merrifield College <\/strong>2-1.<\/p>\n

In Makhanda, St Andrew’s College<\/strong>, whose football programme is making strong strides, overwhelmed Kingswood College<\/strong> 6-0 on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
