That quartet was far from its best, but did just enough to seal victories on the Weinberg AstroTurf<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

KES picked up arguably their biggest scalp of the season so far, beating high-flying Northwood School<\/strong> 2-1 in the match of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Sticks<\/strong><\/em> had played to a 1-1 draw with St Andrew\u2019s College<\/strong> the previous day, but they came out looking a different outfit.\u00a0<\/span>They were full of energy and attacked for the majority of the game, eventually scoring through <\/span>Kamohelo Tsoka <\/span><\/strong>and Andrew Arouca<\/span><\/strong> in the third chukka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Northwood left it too late and replied in the dying moments through a short corner strike by their talisman Luc Boyall<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Westville Boys\u2019 High<\/strong> was also in top form on the day, beating Grey College<\/strong> 4-2.\u00a0<\/span>The boys from KwaZulu-Natal were on cruise control from the opening chukka and built scoreboard pressure throughout the clash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luke Lambert<\/strong> opened the scoring early before Keagan Wessels<\/strong> pulled one back for Grey College late in the first chukka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bo Mokoena<\/strong>, who has been in fine form, got Westville back into the lead before Luqmann Mahomed<\/strong> buried a scorching goal to make it 3-1 at the break.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Griffins<\/strong><\/em>, led by coach Harold Siyaya<\/strong>, then made it four in the third chukka after an Ethan James<\/strong> thunderbolt drag flick. Grey scored their second with just four minutes remaining, but Westville kept them at bay the rest of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other matches, Maritzburg College mustered a 1-0 win over Parktown Boys\u2019 High<\/strong>, while Pearson edged out Glenwood High<\/strong> 1-0 in a highly entertaining clash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Waterkloof<\/strong> was one of the big winners on the day, thumping Dale College<\/strong> 8-0.\u00a0<\/span>It was an emphatic performance from the Pretoria side, for whom Henry Smit<\/strong> netted a hat-trick, and Lucas Regardt<\/strong> bagged a brace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malan van den Berg<\/strong> was also on the scoresheet, along with Reno Schoonwinkel<\/strong> and skipper Ruben Haasbroek<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

St John’s College<\/strong> continued their impressive run at the festival, beating Makhanda’s St Andrew’s College <\/strong>3-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three matches ended in stalemates. It was goalless between Eldoraigne<\/strong> and St Charles<\/strong>, while cracking goals from Selborne’s <\/strong>Reid Drake <\/strong>and Inathi Gxobole <\/strong>weren’t enough to secure victory against Kearsney College.<\/span><\/p>\n

Queen\u2019s College<\/strong> and Helpmekaar<\/strong> also drew 2-2 after the side from Komani scored in the final minute to salvage a share of the spoils.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final day’s action kicks off with a clash between Selborne and Westville.<\/span><\/p>\n
