Hosts into Nedbank Grey College Soccer Tournament quarterfinals

The hosts, Grey College, maintained their unbeaten record on Sunday, the second day of the Nedbank Grey Soccer Tournament, adding a victory and a draw to the two wins and a draw they secured on Saturday in Bloemfontein.

That solid record left Grey atop Group A after the group stage of the competition, which means they’re through to the Cup quarterfinals.

On Sunday, the Bloemfontein boys drew 1-1 with George Royal Academy and then scored a 2-1 win over Victoria Park in their second outing. They’ll face Wynberg Boys’ High in the playoffs after the Cape Town school finished second in Group B.

Brebner claimed first place in the group after a goalless draw with Wynberg and a 1-0 win over Jeppe. Wynberg was also held to a goalless draw by Parktown Boys’ High.

With some captivating football, Navalsig secured the top position in Group C. Their reward is a showdown with Kimberley Boys’ High, second in Group D, in the Cup quarterfinals. On Sunday, Navalsig edged out Westville Boys’ High 2-1. They, then, scored a convincing 2-0 win against Norkem Park High School.

Despite their loss to Navalsig, Westville also advanced to the Cup quarters, where they will take on the Group D top dogs, Robinvale. After posting a win and a draw on Saturday, Robinvale beat Empangeni High School 3-1, King Edward VII (KES) 2-1, and drew 2-2 with Hodisa Technical High School on Sunday.

Monday’s action will feature the playoffs in the Cup, Plate, and Bowl competitions.
