Our girls started the season by taking part in the
Victoria Park Powerade Soccer Challenge, as part
of preparations for the season. We were drawn in the
group with Bethelsdorp, Lawson Brown and Ncedo
High School. After our three group matches, we had
won 1, drawn 1 and lost 1. We finished in second
position, qualifying for the semi-finals. We met old
friendly rivals, Vulumzi, in a very tightly contested match, which Vulumzi narrowly won 2 – 1. We
went on to play in the 3rd / 4th play-off match against
Hudson Park, which proved to be an even more difficult match. After neither team could find the back
of the net during regulation time, the game went on
to penalties. Landiswa Majola was our hero between
the goals after making two saves that secured our
3rd place finish. At the end of the tournament, two
of our players went away with individual awards –
Trytan Bain was the tournament’s top goal-scorer
with 6 goals and Landiswa Majola was named the
goalkeeper of the tournament.
Following our success in the Victoria Park Powerade Soccer Challenge, we took part in the NMMU
Soccer Charity Cup in May. We won two of our
three matches on our way to the final, beating Link-
198
side and Sanctor and losing to Bethelsdorp, who we
went on to meet in the final of the competition as
well. They once again showed their dominance and
clinched the final convincingly, with our girls finishing in 2nd position.
The highlight of the season for the 1st team was no
doubt their tour to East London and participation
in the East London Warrior Soccer Tournament.
The girls completed day 1 of the Warrior Girls’
Soccer Tournament with a perfect record of 3 wins
from 3 matches.
