Amanzimtoti High School, who have hosted the trophy a handful of times, will be leading the charge to reclaim the title, together with a highly competitive line-up including Kingsway, New Forest and Queensburgh Girls’ high schools and Werda Skool.
Communications officer, Sophie Thompson said the format for the day has the six teams squaring off in a round-robin tournament, with the games lasting 25 minutes one way.
“The winning team will notch up four points for their efforts. In a case where the teams drew with goals, they will both earn two points, while a goalless draw sees their scores increase by one point. A loss will register zero points on the scorecard,” she said.
