Bryanston Primary School hosted the 50th edition of their six-a-side soccer and netball tournament.

This year, five primary schools entered their U10, U11, U12 and open teams in the netball and soccer competitions to compete for first place.

Bryanston Primary School, Montrose Primary School, Bryneven Primary School, Bryandale Primary School and Bordeaux Primary School competed in the tournament. The format involved a round-robin concluding with a final match between the two teams with the highest points per category.

The six-a-side format has proven to be an exciting format where many matches can be played in shortened time and on smaller fields for the soccer matches. The hard-fought matches in such quick succession also tested the fitness and endurance levels of the participants.

After a well-attended event, the victors on the day were Bryandale Primary School, which won both the soccer and netball trophies.

Morne Marx, the acting principal of Bryanston Primary School, said, “This year we’re delighted to host the visiting teams to our wonderful school where a high standard of netball and soccer was on display. We always appreciate the vociferous support that the competing teams receive from their families, friends and fellow learners. Congratulations to all the participants for the good spirit in which the games were played and well done to the ultimate team winners and Bryandale for taking the top awards.”

Marx also thanked all the volunteers, families, friends and sponsors who donated their time and resources to help make the tournament a success.
