Bowl Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The action kicked off with the Bowl quarterfinals, featuring the teams that finished in fifth and sixth places within their respective groups.<\/p>\n

Glenwood High<\/strong>, despite not having a particularly good year, especially based on the high standards they have set in recent seasons, found themselves part of the Bowl and up against a familiar foe, taking on Durban High School (DHS), who had showed their off their potential in a Raw Cup win<\/strong><\/a> at the end of August, in which they beat the KZNHSFA Inland A-League champions Maritzburg College<\/strong><\/a> 3-2. Glenwood, though, had the Horseflies<\/strong><\/em>‘ number and recorded a 3-1 win.<\/p>\n

King Edward VII School (KES)<\/strong> faced one of the Eastern Cape’s leading teams, Victoria Park<\/strong> High, and dealt with the challenge with aplomb, beating the Gqeberha school 3-0.<\/p>\n

Strelitzia High,<\/strong> from Kariega, scored a 2-0 win over Witbank High<\/strong>, while in a meeting of local sides, Bloemfontein South High<\/strong> took on St Andrew’s School<\/strong>, with the former delivering an outstanding performance to run out 4-1 winners.<\/p>\n

They followed up that victory with a 2-1 win over Glenwood in the semi-finals. Strelitzia, meanwhile, handed KES a 2-0 defeat.<\/p>\n

The Bowl final, between Bloemfontein South and Strelitzia, kicks off on Tuesday at 08:00. KES and Glenwood will meet at the same time.<\/p>\n

Plate Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Plate competition, for teams which finished in third and fourth places in their groups, featured St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong>, who recently won a big title on home soil, the St David’s Nedbank Challenge Cup<\/strong><\/a>. They took on Bloemfontein’s Brebner High.<\/p>\n

A high-scoring stalemate ended 3-3, but St David’s kept their composure during the penalty shootout to advance 4-3 from the spot.<\/p>\n

In other Plate quarterfinal matches, the Waterstone College Super Cup winners, Curro Thatchfield<\/strong><\/a>, played out a 1-1 draw with Pretoria Boys High<\/strong>, but Boys High moved on after a heart-stopping 5-4 win on penalties.<\/p>\n

In a clash of traditional Johannesburg rivals, Parktown Boys’ High<\/strong> secured a 1-0 victory over Jeppe High School for Boys<\/strong>, while the hosts of the Absa Wildeklawer Soccer Tournament, Kimberley Boys’ High<\/strong><\/a>, scored a comfortable 3-0 win over Empangeni High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the Plate semifinals, Kimberley Boys’ High stunned St David’s 1-0, while Pretoria Boys High sneaked by Parktown 4-3 on penalties after their clash had ended level at 1-1.<\/p>\n

The Plate final, between Kimberley Boys’ High and Pretoria Boys High, takes place 09:30 on Tuesday morning. St David’s and Parktown Boys’ High also do battle.<\/p>\n

Cup Competition\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the primary event, the Cup, Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong>, and Navalsig High<\/strong> shared a tense goalless draw in a quarterfinals’ clash, but Wynberg then scored a comfortable 4-1 win from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

Vaal High School<\/strong>, a late inclusion, in the event, claimed a 3-1 win over Hodisa Technical High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Westville Boys’ High<\/strong> and Grey College<\/strong> finished at 0-0 after regulation time, but the hosts advanced with a 4-2 win from the spot.<\/p>\n

The two-time defending champions, St Stithians College, defeated the runners-up of the inaugural Curro Halala Cup, Norkem Park<\/strong><\/a>, by a tight 1-0 margin.<\/p>\n

Both semi-finals were decided on penalties. After Wynberg Boys’ High and St Stithians drew 1-1, Wynberg moved into the title decider 4-2 from the spot. Vaal High, meanwhile, also shared a 1-1 draw with Grey College, but they went through 5-4 after a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

Those results have left Saints<\/strong> <\/em>to face Grey College in the bronze medal playoff. The title game features Wynberg Boys’ High and Vaal High School.<\/p>\n
