North West will host its Sanlam Kay Motsepe Schools Cup Provincial Finals this Saturday, 4 June at the Wonderkop Stadium, Lonmin Platinum Mine, Western Plant Units, Brits. Entrance is free and kick-off is at 09:00. The schools will compete for the R100 000 prize money on offer to be used to fund legacy projects chosen by the school.
Participating regions:
There will be four teams participating including: Boithaopo High School (Ngaka Modiri Molema), Arefadimeheng High School (Dr Kenneth Kaunda), Eletsa Secondary School (Bojanala) and Sol Plaatjie (Dr Ruth Mompati).
2010 Provincial champions, Eletsa Secondary School, are looking to retain their title again. At the recent handover of the legacy project the school won, headmaster, Mr Tiny Mojahi announced that the team was ready for action.
“The team is well prepared mentality and physically to do better than just retain our Provincial championship status and we are looking at the R1m prize as the school is in need of more equipment and upgrades which will help students for years to come,” said Mojahi.
One of the projects the school selected after finishing ........... in the 2010 Sanlam Kay Motsepe Schools Cup was the upgrading of the school’s sports facility which coach Dennis Mhlongo says has had a positive effect on the team this year: “We are using our newly renovated sports field for training and practice matches and I must admit this has had a positive influence in the players attitude. The players are enjoying the ground and we are going for a place in the National finals – even winning the tournament.”
The schools that finish in first place as well as the runner’s up will go on to represent the North West Province at the National Finals to be held between 13 – 16 July 2011.
