Four titles on the line at Discovery Cup finals

The annual Discovery High Schools Knockout Cup finals take place on Thursday at Reddam House Bedfordview in Germiston, where Edenvale High and Ferndale High will face off in the u19 final.

Initiated in 2008, the Discovery Cup was founded by Craig Smee, of Reddam House Bedfordview, to provide a structured and competitive environment for youth football players.

Held annually, the competition has flourished and has become one of South Africa’s leading youth grassroots football events.

Ferndale High booked their place in Thursday’s title game with a narrow 3-2 victory over Hoërskool Jan Viljoen, while Edenvale High scored a 2-0 win over The King’s School Linbro Park to advance to the final.

Champions will also be decided in other age groups on Thursday, with Norkem Park High and Meridian Cosmo City meeting for the u16 title.

Norkem Park edged out Bracken High by a goal to nil in their semi-final, while Meridian Cosmo impressed in a 3-0 victory over Ferndale High.

In the u15 final, Waterstone College takes on Yeshiva College.

Last week, Yeshiva College advanced to the title decider after a 2-1 victory over Sir John Adamson High, while Waterstone College dealt with Roosevelt High School, claiming a 2-0 win.

An exciting final is anticipated in the u14 division after a couple of entertaining semi-final showdowns. Trinityhouse Glenvista, after a thrilling 5-3 semi-final win over Edenglen High, tackles King David Linksfield, who were 3-1 winners over Trinityhouse Little Falls.

Reddam House will also host the third-place playoffs on Thursday.
