Western Province A<\/strong>, loaded with a star-studded line-up, are four from four after romping to a 16-3 win over Central Gauteng B<\/strong> and a 14-7 victory over Western Province B<\/strong> on Monday.<\/p>\n

They’re the tournament’s top scorers thus far, averaging 16 goals a game, with James Swart<\/strong> topping all scorers, too, with 15.<\/p>\n

While Province A finished top of Group A, KwaZulu-Natal<\/strong> claimed first place in Group B, and their clean run included a 10-7 win over Central Gauteng A<\/strong> on Monday in the biggest game of the group stage of the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Max Mills<\/strong>, their top scorer, was again to the fore, striking four times.\u00a0KZN also downed Nelson Mandela Bay<\/strong> 9-4, with Mills adding another three goals to his personal tally.<\/p>\n

Central Gauteng A finished second in Group B, with that defeat to KZN their only loss, while Buffalo City<\/strong> claimed second in Group A.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s playoff matches begin at 08:00 at St John’s with Northerns<\/strong> tackling Western Province A in the first quarterfinal. At 08:55, it’s Central Gauteng B versus KZN in the second quarterfinal.<\/p>\n

There’s an Eastern Cape derby in quarterfinal three, at 09:50, between Nelson Mandela Bay and Buffalo City, before the home side, Central Gauteng A, faces Western Province B in the last of the quarterfinals at 10:45.<\/p>\n

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

In the girls’ competition, being played at Kingsmead College<\/strong>, Central Gauteng A<\/strong> and Western Province A<\/strong> topped their groups, with Central Gauteng A behind KZN A by only one goal on goal difference in Group A. When they met on Sunday, the home team won a thriller 9-8<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matters went a lot more smoothly on Monday, with Central Gauteng A thumping Northerns<\/strong> 17-2 before beating Western Province B<\/strong> 12-6.<\/p>\n

Western Province A, meanwhile, was made to work extremely hard for a 7-5 win over Nelson Mandela Bay<\/strong>, who ended up finishing bottom of Group B. It wasn’t easy against Zimbabwe<\/strong> either, with Province winning by two goals again, 9-7.<\/span><\/p>\n

KZN won more emphatically, beating Eden Districts<\/strong> 9-4 before blanking Northerns<\/strong> 13-0.<\/p>\n

Group A runners-up, Buffalo City<\/strong>, beat Central Gauteng B<\/strong> 8-6 in their lone outing.<\/p>\n

There’s an 08:00 start on Tuesday, with Central Gauteng A facing Central Gauteng B in the first of the quarterfinals. That theme of regional rivalry is repeated in the second quarterfinal at 08:55, when Western Province A takes on Western Province B.<\/p>\n

At 09:50, it’s Zimbabwe versus KwaZulu-Natal the third last eight clash, and Eden Districts goes up against Buffalo City in the last of the quarterfinals at 10:45.<\/p>\n
