\nThe South African U21 Women turned on the style with a breathtaking 19\u20130 win over Zambia in their second group game. It was a relentless, four-quarter masterclass that showcased both depth and discipline across the squad.
\n\u2022 3 goals in the 1st quarter

\n\u2022 5 in the 3rd
\n\u2022 An explosive 8-goal final quarter to close it out

\nSouth Africa now sit comfortably at the top of the table with 6 points from 6, needing only a top-three finish to secure qualification for the FIH Junior World Cup in Chile this December.<\/p>\n
\nOn the men\u2019s side, South Africa continued their goal-scoring rampage and defensive dominance with an 8-0 dismantling of hosts Namibia, who came into the match fresh off a historic first-ever win over Egypt.
\nSouth Africa, however, proved a different level.
\nJayden Brooker, the SA IPT Player of the Tournament, was simply unplayable. He hammered home six goals, terrorizing the Namibian defence with precision and power, especially from penalty corners.
\nBrett Horn and Litha Kraai added one apiece as the South Africans became the only unbeaten men\u2019s team with two wins from two.<\/p>\n
\nA win over Zimbabwe (currently second in the pool) would put South Africa in prime position to clinch one of the three coveted Junior World Cup qualification spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
