Those four sides booked their places in the title-deciding fixtures after pulsating semifinals on Saturday at Woodridge College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the boys’ section, Selborne was favoured to go all the way after winning the event in 2023 before falling at the final hurdle in 2024<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They dominated their pool stage matches, winning all three, to score the maximum nine points.<\/p>\n

In the quarterfinals, coach Storm Siebert’<\/strong>s side brushed aside Glenwood House<\/strong> 8-2, but they were made to work hard in the last four by Grey High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the all-Eastern Cape derby, the East London side was pushed to the limit, but they prevailed 6-5 to advance to the final for a third consecutive year.<\/p>\n

Wynberg, meanwhile, stunned the defending champion, St Andrew’s College<\/strong>, 6-4 in the quarterfinals before thumping Stirling High <\/strong>16-1 in the semis.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s showdown will be the first time Selborne and Wynberg have met in a final. The action begins at 14:00.<\/p>\n

GIRLS<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be a new champion crowned in the girls’ competition, too, after DSG Makhanda<\/strong> bowed out in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

Newcomers, Hudson Park, will be eyeing the silverware, but standing in their way will be Glenwood House.<\/p>\n

The girls from George had to go through two penalty shootouts to book their spot in the final. Firstly, they defeated DSG 2-0 in a shootout after their quarterfinal clash finished 2-2.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, Glenwood House got the better of Clarendon, also 2-0 in a shootout, but that game had ended 5-5 in regular time.<\/p>\n

In Hudson Park, they’ll be up against a fiery side that has scored goals for fun.<\/p>\n

In the last eight, they defeated their East London rivals, Stirling High<\/strong>, 7-4, before seeing off Kingswood College<\/strong> by the same scoreline in the semis.<\/p>\n

Hudson Park heads into the final as the only unbeaten team in the girls’ competition. The title game kicks off at 13:00.<\/p>\n
