BIGGEST FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT IN THE WORLD FOR 10 – 12 YEAR OLDS

For the second successive year Kgwahlele Primary School from the Waterberg District were crowned the Limpopo Danone Nations Cup Provincial champions after beating Dorothy Langa Primary School 1 – 0 in a thrilling Final.  The tournament took place at the Westernberg stadium in Polokwane with five Regional winners competing.  Kgwahlele will now represent Limpopo in the Danone Nations Cup National Finals taking place in Gauteng in June.

”We are more than ready for the Nationals,” said Kgwahele team manager Lesaba Kekana. ”I have a really motivated team due to the massive support from our school staff members and our District Sports Department, who sponsor us by supplying balls for training.”

Kgwahlele Primary School’s 12 year old striker, Jafta Mashabane, scored the winning goal: ”I am very grateful to Danone for giving us this opportunity and I hope that when I am in Gauteng I can again score the winning goal that will take us to Poland to compete in the World Finals.”

The next Provincial Final will take place at the Clive Solomon Stadium in Bloemfontein on 5^th May 2012.
