That’s because it’s an all-Western Province final after Western Province A comfortably dealt with Central Gauteng A in the semi-finals, while Western Province B pulled off a stunner, downing KwaZulu-Natal A 4-3 to book their place in the title decider.

Earlier in the day, KZN A accounted for Central Gauteng B in the quarterfinals, winning by five goals, while Central Gauteng A handed Nelson Mandela Bay A a 12-7 defeat.

Western Province A blanked Buffalo City 12-0 and Western Province B outplayed KZN B 8-1.

Jordan Meiring, of Eden Districts, tops the goal scoring charts, with 27 to his name.

WP A overpowered KwaZulu-Natal B 15-0 in the quarterfinals and followed that up with 13-3 pounding of Eastern Gauteng.

Abigail Turner scored five goals in their quarterfinals’ win, while Sarah Mocke continued her phenomenal scoring pace with four goals in both games. She’s the event’s top goal scorer, with 27, seven ahead of the next highest scorer, Lily Mao-Cheia, of Nelson Mandela Bay B.

Nelson Mandela Bay A, meanwhile, shocked Central Gauteng A in the quarterfinals, advancing after a penalty shootout.

They scored a more emphatic victory to secure their place in the title game, beating their neighbours, Buffalo City A, 9-5. Buffalo City had earlier accounted for KZN A in the quarterfinals.
