The u18 Guschkie Top Schools Hockey Tournament<\/strong> concluded on Saturday with Grey College<\/strong> scoring a hard-fought 2-1 win over Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong> in the final.<\/p>\n

When the teams met earlier in the season, also in Bloemfontein, Gim scored an impressive 4-2 win<\/strong><\/a>, but Grey put a stop to the Western Cape side’s flawless run through the competition.<\/p>\n

Paarl Gim had opened their campaign with a resounding 7-1 victory over Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark <\/strong>on Thursday, followed by an impressive 8-1 demolition of Somerset College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Then, on the second day, they continued their demolition, brushing aside Ho\u00ebrskool Eldoraigne 4-0 before repeating that same scoreline against Ho\u00ebrskool Jim Fouch\u00e9<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grey\u2019s journey began smoothly enough, with two wins<\/strong><\/a> on the opening day. But they were held to a 1-1 draw by Ho\u00ebrskool Garsfontein <\/strong>in their third outing. Then, they fell 0-1 behind against St Andrew’s School<\/strong> before clawing their way back to claim a 2-1 victory and a place in the final.<\/p>\n

Garsfontein took on their Pretoria rivals, Die Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark <\/strong>for third place and scored a 2-0 win. Ho\u00ebrskool DF Malan<\/strong> ended fifth after edging out Eldoraigne 2-1 in a tight contest.<\/p>\n

Seventh went to Ho\u00ebrskool Jim Fouch\u00e9, of Bloemfontein, who downed Worcester Gimnasium <\/strong>2-1.<\/p>\n

In another well-matched game, Somerset College held on for a 2-1 win over St Andrew’s School to end ninth.<\/p>\n
