The semifinals were scheduled for Saturday evening. However, lightning caused them to be moved to Sunday.\u00a0At the time, Durban Girls’ College <\/strong>and Eunice were in the second chukka of their clash. It will be replayed in full on Sunday.<\/p>\n

St Mary’s DSG Kloof, the inaugural winners of the trophy in 2024, defeated Eunice High<\/strong> 5-2 to book their top-four spot. Georgia Short<\/strong> led the way for the KZN girls with a hat-trick, while Sarah Patterson<\/strong> and Bella Roberts<\/strong> added a goal each.<\/p>\n

Their opponents, Oranje, continued their splendid run with a 5-0 triumph over Durban Girls’ College in their quarterfinal fixture. The ladies from Bloemfontein have now scored 19 goals in three outings and conceded only once. A victory over St Mary’s would send them into their third final in three major competitions this season. They won the previous two.<\/p>\n

With a comfortable 4-0 victory over St Stithians College, Our Lady of Fatima boosted their tournament goal tally to 10. The ladies from Durban North caught the eye from their first matches on Friday, when they beat Durban Girls’ College 2-0 and Helpmekaar Kollege<\/strong> 4-1.<\/p>\n

They’ll take on the hosts, St Anne’s, in their semifinal fixture. Coach Reggie Keates<\/strong>‘<\/em>\u00a0 ladies were subjected to a sterner test than the other three semifinalists.<\/p>\n

Facing a determined The Wykeham Collegiate (TWC)<\/strong> side, which knows them well, they gave as much as they received, with Inati Ngcobo<\/strong>‘s goal helping St Anne’s to secure a 1-1 draw in regulation time.<\/p>\n

That took the contest into a penalty shootout, where Holly Hofmeyr<\/strong>, Emma Thomas<\/strong>, and Zintle James<\/strong> converted as St Anne’s claimed a 3-2 win.<\/p>\n
