Organiser Mthandeni Kubheka said they were very happy to get such a positive response from the teams and fans, even though they had announced the tournament in a short space of time. “This tournament will help the local team, Junior Eleven, to prepare for the next season, since we know they will be playing in the ABC Motsepe League. We are very thankful to the teams that participated; some coming from neighbouring towns such as Estcourt, Bergville, Mooi River, Dundee and Newcastle,” said Kubheka.
