The festival began on September 27 with the opening match between Cape North District B and Ekurhuleni B, where Ekurhuleni lost 1-0.
Steve Bezuidenhout from Soccer Tech said the final saw KZN A and KZN B battle it out in a tense and physical affair, with five yellow cards in the match.
He said neither team saw themselves as the underdogs.
“Despite both sides creating chances and KZN B putting the A side under late pressure, the game came down to a penalty shoot-out, where KZN A took the win,” said Bezuidenhout.
Cape North A finished in third place and Cape North B beat JHB North B, winning the plate.
