Mbombela school sets the bar high at national champs
St Marks thrashed the Northern Cape's Homevale High School 8-2 in their second game of the tourney.
The highly anticipated Kay Motsepe Schools Cup football championship finals started on Wednesday December 7 in Gauteng.
The Mpumalanga side, St Marks International School, lost 1-0 to Qhilika Secondary School of KwaZulu-Natal in the opening of their group C match, but they stood tall and promised to do better in their upcoming matches.
“The boys’ demeanour throughout this competition will not be based on the outcome of the first game,” said the head coach, Rewano Swarts.
