Both sides impressed with their commanding performances, which left them top of their pools and solidified their status as the teams to beat.

St John’s College bolstered their record with three wins, opening their account on Saturday with a 10-2 win over the hosts, St Alban’s College. They followed that with a 7-3 victory over their neighbours, King Edward VII School (KES). They, then, closed out their day in style cruising to a 11-3 victory over St Peter’s College to maintain their immaculate record and first place in Pool A.

Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies) also enjoyed a three-win day. They outplayed St Peter’s 9-1 in their first outing and followed that with a clear-cut 10-3 victory over Christian Brothers College (CBC) Bulawayo. They won by even more against Parktown Boys’ High, recording a comfortable 14-3 win to confirm their place in the semifinals.

Those victories saw Affies finish in second spot in Pool A, with 15 points, having lost only to St John’s, who won 8-5 when they met on Friday KES placed third, St Alban’s fourth, followed by St Peter’s College and Parktown Boys’ High.

Meanwhile, in Pool B, St Stithians College easily wrapped up top spot in Pool B, winning 9-2 against Pretoria Boys High on Saturday, 12-2 against St Benedict’s College, and 12-4 against the St John’s College’s second team.

St David’s Marist Inanda was equally dominant, handing St Benedict’s a 12-3 loss before beating Jeppe 13-7. They also rolled to 10-1 wins overs over the St John’s and St Alban’s second teams.

Jeppe placed third in the group, behind Saints and St John’s, with Pretoria Boys High in fourth.

In Sunday’s semifinals, it’s St John’s against St David’s and St Stithians against Affies. While St John’s and St Stithians had a comfortable time of things in their group stage matches, they’ll surely be extended in their quests to qualify for the title game.
