Both sides impressed with their commanding performances, which left them top of their pools and solidified their status as the teams to beat.<\/p>\n

St John’s College bolstered their record with three wins, opening their account on Saturday with a 10-2 win over the hosts, St Alban’s College<\/strong>. They followed that with a 7-3 victory over their neighbours, King Edward VII School (KES)<\/strong>. They, then, closed out their day in style cruising to a 11-3 victory over St Peter’s College <\/strong>to maintain their immaculate record and first place in Pool A.<\/p>\n

Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool<\/strong> (Affies<\/strong>) also enjoyed a three-win day. They outplayed St Peter’s 9-1 in their first outing and followed that with a clear-cut 10-3 victory over Christian Brothers College (CBC) Bulawayo<\/strong>. They won by even more against Parktown Boys’ High<\/strong>, recording a comfortable 14-3 win to confirm their place in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Those victories saw Affies finish in second spot in Pool A, with 15 points, having lost only to St John’s, who won 8-5 when they met on Friday<\/strong><\/a> KES placed third, St Alban’s fourth, followed by St Peter’s College and Parktown Boys’ High.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Pool B, St Stithians College<\/strong> easily wrapped up top spot in Pool B, winning 9-2 against Pretoria<\/strong> Boys High <\/strong>on Saturday, 12-2 against St Benedict’s College,<\/strong> and 12-4 against the St John’s College’s second team<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong> was equally dominant, handing St Benedict’s a 12-3 loss before beating Jeppe 13-7. They also rolled to 10-1 wins overs over the St John’s and St Alban’s second teams.<\/p>\n

Jeppe placed third in the group, behind Saints<\/strong><\/em> and St John’s, with Pretoria Boys High in fourth.<\/p>\n

In Sunday’s semifinals, it’s St John’s against St David’s and St Stithians against Affies. While St John’s and St Stithians had a comfortable time of things in their group stage matches, they’ll surely be extended in their quests to qualify for the title game.<\/p>\n
