\"BDCECampusCupLogo\"<\/span>The crown as first virtual school rugby champions of South Africa will find a home in Centurion, Pretoria, Worcester, or Secunda for 2020. This week we are moving into the semi-final of the BDCE Campus Cup<\/strong> with only four schools left within the competition. <\/p>\n

The four schools are Zwartkop<\/strong> of Centurion, Montana<\/strong> from the north of Pretoria, HTS Drostdy<\/strong> of Worcester, and Ho\u00ebrskool Secunda<\/strong>. The Donkeys from HTS Drostdy is the only DigiTV<\/strong> <\/a>school left in the competition. Zwartkop will face Montana in the first semi-final, while Drostdy and Secunda will fight it out for the other spot in next week’s final. <\/p>\n

Zwartkop knocked out Ho\u00ebrskool Punt<\/strong> from Mosselbay out in the quarterfinals by 3 142 votes to 2 876 votes. Punt already made sure that they bag the R5 000 up for grabs for the second tier school that progressed the furthest in the competition. <\/p>\n

Montana has been one of the most consistent performers throughout the BDCE Campus Cup. They defeated Marais Viljoen<\/strong> by 2 975 to 2 545 votes in the quarterfinals. Marais Viljoen from Alberton also had a good run throughout the competition. <\/p>\n

HTS Drostdy and Helpmekaar-kollege<\/strong> of Johannesburg was in a titanic battle for a place in the last four. Less than 100 votes were the difference between these two schools. The Donkeys taking it with 4 683 votes to 4 596 votes. <\/p>\n

Secunda came out on top by 3 345 votes to 2 498 against Hans Strijdom<\/strong> of Naboomspruit. The latter putting-up a valiant effort as the forced change in the voting system definitely had an impact on their performance. <\/p>\n

In total, a number of 26 660 votes were cast during the quarterfinals on the two platforms in use – Instagram and Facebook. <\/p>\n
