The U15 girls won 2-0 against Allen Glen High School and, playing at home, Vryburgers’ U15 boys beat Allen Glen High School 4-1.

The team showed resilience and determination to make it into the finals as they scored within the first 10 minutes of the game.

Allen Glen was not about to lose without a fight, equalising the chances just 10 minutes before halftime.

In the second half, Hoërskool Vryburger lost one of their best players due to injury but that did not deter them as they scored a second goal just 10 minutes into the second half.

The head coach for the U15 boys, Bafana Moyo, was proud of the boys’ achievement.

He said this was the first time the school had four teams qualifying for the semi-finals although two did not make it.

“As a school, we are proud of the teams. We might even win the league at the pace that we are playing,” said Moyo.
