Grey College captures u18 Guschkie Top Schools title

The u18 Guschkie Top Schools Hockey Tournament concluded on Saturday with Grey College scoring a hard-fought 2-1 win over Paarl Gimnasium in the final.

When the teams met earlier in the season, also in Bloemfontein, Gim scored an impressive 4-2 win, but Grey put a stop to the Western Cape side’s flawless run through the competition.

Paarl Gim had opened their campaign with a resounding 7-1 victory over Hoërskool Menlopark on Thursday, followed by an impressive 8-1 demolition of Somerset College.

Then, on the second day, they continued their demolition, brushing aside Hoërskool Eldoraigne 4-0 before repeating that same scoreline against Hoërskool Jim Fouché.

Grey’s journey began smoothly enough, with two wins on the opening day. But they were held to a 1-1 draw by Hoërskool Garsfontein in their third outing. Then, they fell 0-1 behind against St Andrew’s School before clawing their way back to claim a 2-1 victory and a place in the final.

Garsfontein took on their Pretoria rivals, Die Hoërskool Menlopark for third place and scored a 2-0 win. Hoërskool DF Malan ended fifth after edging out Eldoraigne 2-1 in a tight contest.

Seventh went to Hoërskool Jim Fouché, of Bloemfontein, who downed Worcester Gimnasium 2-1.

In another well-matched game, Somerset College held on for a 2-1 win over St Andrew’s School to end ninth.
