2023 finalists, Maritzburg College and Carter, into Jody Momple Cup quarters
Last year’s finalists, Maritzburg College and Carter High School are through to the Cup quarterfinals of the Jody Momple Cup – formerly the Pietermaritzburg and Midlands FA Cup – after the opening day of the two-day event, which is being contested by 24 teams.

The Pietermaritzburg rivals have already met four times this season, most recently in mid-week, when College scored an equaliser 10 seconds from the final whistle to make it 2-2, which sent their Cowie Cup quarterfinal to a penalty shootout. The Red, Black and White then took the win from the spot to even the season’s series at 2-2.
Carter scored a couple of workmanlike victories in their Group C matches on Saturday, beating Greytown 3-0 and Newton 2-0. College, 3-2 winners over Carter in a brilliant 2023 final, had their way with Treverton College in a Group H clash, powering their way to a 7-0 victory, which they followed up with a 2-0 win over Umvuzo.
The Jody Momple Cup is not a two-horse race, however, and Hilton College, Michaelhouse, Alexandra High, Ixopo High, Edendale Technical High and Carter B, who were late replacements for Maritzburg Christian School, joined them in the last eight.
Alex, Michaelhouse, Edendale and Ixopo all progressed with a maximum six points after winning both of their group games.
Maritzburg College and ML Sultan were the highest goal scorers, with both tallying nine, which included a 9-0 win for ML Sultan over Weston.
Sunday’s action starts at 08:00, with the Bowl quarterfinals. They’ll be followed by the Plate quarterfinals at 09:30, and the Cup quarterfinals at 11:00.
Those results will determine the fixtures for the remainder of the day.
