The second round of the Gauteng Schools Wednesday Champions League<\/strong> took place at the Muckleneuk Sports Ground<\/strong> in Pretoria, where the School of Excellence<\/strong> experienced its first defeat, but ended the day leading the pack.<\/p>\n

u17 Boys Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the opening Wednesday of the league, the School of Excellence scored two convincing wins, beating Mokgome Secondary School 4-0 and Rutasetjhaba Secondary School 3-0<\/a><\/strong>, which left them atop the standings.<\/p>\n

A week later, they added another victory, working hard for a 2-1 success against Thuto Lefa Secondary School<\/strong>, but in their second outing they went down 0-1 to Je Malepe Secondary<\/strong>. Despite the setback, the School of Excellence remains in first place with nine points.<\/p>\n

The two-time champions of the competition, Clapham High<\/strong>, who were unexpectedly held to a 1-1 draw by Ibongo Secondary<\/strong> on the tournament’s opening day, returned to form in the second week and narrowed the gap to the School of Excellence to only two points.<\/p>\n

Clapham High stacked successive 2-0 wins over Mokgome Secondary and Je Malepe, the team that ended the School of Excellence’s unbeaten run.<\/p>\n

Following the School of Excellence and Clapham High in the standings are Ibongo and Je Malepe, who both have seven points, the same as Clapham, but Clapham has a game in hand, which means they’re well positioned to take over at the top from the School of Excellence.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Ibongo secured a 2-0 victory over Rutasetjhaba, but were knocked back in their next outing, suffering a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Thuta Lefa.<\/p>\n

In the last fixture of the day, Rosina Sedibane Modiba Sport School<\/strong> picked up a tight a 1-0 win over Je Malepe.<\/p>\n

u17 Girls’ Competition\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the u17 girls’ Gauteng Schools Champions League, the reigning champions and two-time titleholders, Jabulile Secondary School<\/strong>, find themselves in an unusual position after two weeks of action. They’re currently in fourth place and trail the leaders, Clapham High, who have 12 points, by five.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Jabulile took on Zithobeni Secondary School<\/strong> in their opening match and settled for a 1-1 draw, but they had no trouble dealing with the challenge of Randfontein High<\/strong>, surging to a 5-0 victory in their second match.<\/p>\n

The Clapham High girls’ team maintained their perfect record. They are, in fact, the only side in either the boys’ or girls’ competition with a 100 percent record, having scored four wins from four matches. Their return from Wednesday’s fixtures was a massive 8-1 win over Tembisa High<\/strong> and a 3-0 defeat of Buhle BeMfundo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All credit to Tembisa High, they shook off their big loss to Clapham High and rebounded with a 2-0 win over Khanya-Lesedi Secondary<\/strong>. After that victory, Tembisa High is only three points adrift of Clapham, and third in the standings, just behind Anchor Independent Academy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Anchor went one and one on Wednesday, losing 1-3 to Khanya-Lesedi before scoring a 2-0 win over Randfontein High.<\/p>\n
