Noordskool\u00a0 played Lumi\u00e9re Primary School\u00a0 to finish off the opening round.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The Challenge winner would be determined by goals scored in the round robin format.<\/p>\n Going into the last round of matches Eldoraigne were in prime position to take home the trophy but Laerskool Kollegepark<\/span> had other ideas. The Kollepark team edged ever closer to the 14 goals scored by Eldoraigne in the round robin stages and with just a few minutes left on the clock drew level on goals scored.<\/p>\n
