Western Province and Southern Free State emerged triumphant on Friday, lifting the boys’ and girls’ A-section trophies on the sixth and final day of action at the SASHOC U-18 Nationals in Stellenbosch.
Southern Free State were completely dominant in the girls’ A-section final, charging to a 6-0 victory over Western Province.
Earlier, Amathole edged hosts Boland in the third-place playoff, which was decided in a shoot-out (4-2) after the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Though they missed out on the girls’ crown, Western Province made no mistakes in the boys’ A-section final, earning a 4-1 victory over KZN Coastal to secure the title.
In the third-place playoff, KZN Inland beat Southern Free State in a shoot-out (3-1) after the tightly contested game was drawn 1-1.
Taheera Augousti, competing for Southern Free State, scored seven goals in the girls’ competition, while Brett Horn (Western Province) and Ross Montgomery (KZN Coastal) also hit the back of the net seven times each in the boys’ division, as they finished the six-day tournament as the top A-section goal-scorers.
Meanwhile, in the B-section competition, Southern Gauteng ‘B’ beat Southern Free State ‘B’ 1-0 to win the girls’ title, and Northerns ‘A’ defeated Northerns ‘B’ 3-1 in the boys’ final.
