Women\u2019s A Section<\/span><\/h3>\n

Northern Blues 0\u20134 SA U21<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>In a tournament-shaping upset, the Junior Proteas stunned the reigning champions with a near-perfect performance. After a disappointing Day 1, the SA U21s were clinical and composed. Ntsopa Mokoena opened the scoring, Olympian <\/span>Taheera<\/span>Augousti controlled the midfield, and further goals from Anja Tromp, Hannah Quinton (PC), and Jodie Blows sealed a famous victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Free State 3\u20131 KZN Raiders<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>Free State bounced back from their heavy defeat with a spirited performance. Lisa van der Merwe struck first before KZN Raiders equalised late via Brooklyn <\/span>Kroutz<\/span>. But it was Free State who finished strongest, with <\/span>Merisone<\/span> Mokone and <\/span>Reatile<\/span> Pitso<\/span>scoring in the dying minutes to grab a crucial three points.<\/span><\/p>\n

WP Peninsula 0\u20131 North West<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>In a tightly contested Pool A, North West continued their impressive form with a narrow 1-0 win over WP Peninsula. A solitary strike from <\/span>Lize<\/span> Claasen<\/span> ensured they remained the only team with a full haul of points in the group.<\/span><\/p>\n

Western Province 6\u20130 Southern Gauteng<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>In a clash of heavyweights, it was the hosts who blew the contest wide open. Kayla de Waal and <\/span>Charne<\/span> Maddocks gave WP a 2-0 halftime lead. The second half was a masterclass: <\/span>Caylin<\/span> Maree, <\/span>Onthatile<\/span> Zulu, Charlene Boshoff, Ashleigh Thomas, and Brady Wiseman all found the net in a blistering attacking display that underlined WP\u2019s title credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s A Section<\/span><\/h3>\n

SA U21 5\u20131 Northern Blues<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>The junior men booked their spot in the semi-finals with an authoritative performance. <\/span>Litha<\/span> Kraai opened the scoring before a double from Brett Horn and another brace from Ross Montgomery put the result beyond doubt. Calvin Davis netted a consolation, but Northern Blues’ semi-final dreams ended here.<\/span><\/p>\n

WP Peninsula 7\u20131 Free State<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>WP Pens confirmed their semi-final place in style despite conceding first to Free State’s Kaden Henderson. The response was ruthless<\/span>, <\/span>Casey <\/span>Keevey<\/span> and Kenton Melville each scored twice, with Josh <\/span>Koff<\/span>, Nicholas Giger, and Caleb Oliphant rounding off a 7-goal haul that left no doubt about their intentions.<\/span><\/p>\n

KZN Raiders 3\u20132 Eastern Province<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>EP started on fire, netting twice in the opening 8 minutes through Jade Smith and Nicholas Kingston. But KZN Raiders showed resilience. Darryl Lotter and Jethro Eustice brought them level before Mo <\/span>Mea<\/span> struck late to keep their semi-final hopes alive in a thriller.<\/span><\/p>\n

Western Province 1\u20132 Southern Gauteng<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>In a match that felt like a potential preview of the final, Western Province struck first. But Southern Gauteng proved their championship mettle. Liam Hermanus equalised from a penalty corner before JP <\/span>Britz<\/span> completed the comeback to cap a dramatic and defining win for the Joburg side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s B Section<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mpumalanga 0\u20137 WP <\/span>Disa<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>Disa<\/span> made their mark with an emphatic victory as <\/span>Trusten<\/span> Barnard stole the show with four goals.
