Top 8 soccer youth tournament concludes with exciting matches
The tournament hopes to grow in terms of teams entered and sponsorships.
The Brakpan Central Local Football Association (BCLFA) Top 8 Football Tournament concluded on Saturday at the Brakpan Sports Grounds with two matches and a prize-giving ceremony.
The two games were for the U13 and U15 age groups, but the U11 and U17 teams also received awards for their wins recently. While the tournament aims for eight teams per category, the U11 and U17 categories only had six teams, so winners were decided based on points earned.
The U13 game was between Sallies Club Football and Leachville Shooters FC, who both ended with one point, and a penalty shootout ensued, after which Sallies won 4-2.
The U15 game was between Ntsiks Football Stars and Brakpan Bush Bucks FC, which ended 2-2 before the shootout, from which Ntsiks emerged as victors with a final score of 5-3.
Ntsiks also took the trophy in the U11 and U17 categories in the tournament, making their coach, Ntsikelelo Makaka, extremely proud. Ntsikelelo is also the chairperson of the competitions committee for the Brakpan Sports Association.
