THE Gauteng Champion of Champions has a new title holder after Bidvest Wits dethroned Supersport United who won the tournament on two consecutive occasions.
The third edition of the tournament took place on October 7 at the Vosloorus Stadium involving the then champions, Supersport United, Bidvest Wits and tournament hosts, Jomo Cosmos.
The hosts, Jomo Cosmos, kicked off the festivities with a tightly contested match against United that ended in a close 0-0 draw for the fans to enjoy the first dribble out of the day which ended 2-1 to Cosmos’ favour.
United had a chance to redeem themselves in their second match of the day against Bidvest Wits but Gavin Hunt’s men proved to be too strong for United as they edged the club from the nation’s capital 1-0.
The result meant United were out and it was now between Wits and Cosmos to claim the Gauteng Champion of Champions title.
With the backing of the home supporters, Cosmos came into the final as the favourites but The Students proved to be the better organised team as goals by Daine Klate and Anthony Gordinho saw the title heading to the Braamfontein based club.
