The tournament heads into the playoffs on Wednesday, and the action starts with an Eastern Cape showdown between Buffalo City<\/strong> and Nelson Mandela Bay<\/strong> at 08:30 at KES.<\/p>\n

Girls<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the girls’ competition, Buffalo City A<\/strong> and KwaZulu-Natal A<\/strong> ended their respective Pool A and Pool B schedules with clean records after posting important wins on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buffalo City<\/strong>, behind three goals from Jodi Carr<\/strong>, shocked Central Gauteng A<\/strong> 5-4, while KZN A showed their class in an emphatic 9-4 win over Western Province A<\/strong> in which Mary Aylward<\/strong> netted four times.<\/p>\n
