Westville dominates on first day of the Coastal Cup

The 2024 Coastal Cup got off to a cracking start in Durban on Friday, with newcomers, Menlopark, making their mark in the opener by handing Glenwood a 4-0 defeat.
Later, however, the Pretoria side was on the wrong end of a similar scoreline when they went down to Pearson High School.
Glenwood will hope for a better day on Saturday, after they lost both of their first-day clashes. Their second match, against St Alban’s College, went the Gauteng side’s way by a 2-0 margin.
Westville Boys’ High enjoyed an impressive first day, winning an arm wrestle against Pearson by a goal to nil – the sides had drawn 3-3 at last year’s event – and then beating Paarl Boys’ High 2-0.
Durban High School (DHS) cruised to a convincing 5-1 win over St Alban’s and then edged out Garsfontein 1-0, while Clifton College and Garsfontein played to a 1-1 draw around midday. In the evening, Clifton downed Waterkloof 2-1.

In the u16 age group, DHS bagged a 5-1 win over St Alban’s and followed up with a 2-1 victory over Garsfontein. Paarl also dominated, recording 3-1 wins over Waterkloof and Westville 3-1. The Menlopark Juniors were held in a 2-2 draw by Glenwood and were beaten 2-1 by Pearson.
There were some high-scoring u14 games, with Paarl Boys’ High sneaking a 5-4 win over Waterkloof and Menlopark sharing a 4-4 draw with Glenwood. Westville Boys’ High, though, were imperious, notching two 4-0 victories, over Pearson and Paarl Boys’ High respectively.
Saturday’s action begins with the Garsfontein 1st team taking on Glenwood, while DHS battles Menlopark in the u16 competition, and Paarl takes on Pearson will open the u-14 clash.
