NORTHERN CAPE FARE WELL AT COPA COCA-COLA FOOTBALL NATIONAL FINALS


The Northern Cape is traditionally known as a rugby playing province, but judging by the display of skills seen at the under-15 COPA Coca-Cola football National Finals, currently underway in Soweto, football could well knock the sport off its pedestal.



Coach, Chris Samuels, from Steinkopf, the school representing the Northern Cape, is happy with his team’s performance in the tournament.  “We battled a bit on the first day as my boys were tired from the trip, but today has been different. My midfield is proving to be my key strength, particularly my captain and left wing, Reagan Visagie. He joined the school at the beginning of the year and was made captain based on his humbleness.  Further, he has a dangerous left foot which has frustrated our opponents today.”



Samuels said he was surprised to have made it to the national finals, thanks to his striker and ex Cape Town player, Reagan De Vos who scored the winning goal in the provincial final. 



Meanwhile Johannesburg Secondary School continued on their winning ways.  The team of Orlando Pirates development players ended the League with 11 goals from 4 games.  They lost their final game against Lehlasedi from Mpumalanga 1 – 0.  “My task tonight is to motivate my players and get them to realise that success also means losing games sometimes and we must just go out there, lift our heads and play like we have never played before,” said coach, Mandla Qhogi.



Lebo Matakanya, the tournament crowd favourite due to his expertise in producing shibobo’s and tsamaya’s said after the team’s defeat.    “We beat Lehlasedi yesterday and it was clear that they did their homework to come back and beat us today.  But I believe we were the better team but we just missed our chances and they capitalised on our mistakes.



Games resume tomorrow, Saturday, at 09:00 am.

EASTERN CAPE HOLD THE FINAL UNDER-15 COPA COCA-COLA FOOTBALL PROVINCIAL FINAL



The Eastern Cape provincial finals in the under-15 COPA Coca-Cola football competition will take place at the Thandanani Stadium in Matatiele on Saturday, 7 July (kickoff at 9.00am).



The ultimate champion will join the other eight provincial winners at the national finals in Johannesburg from July 12 to 14.



First time contenders, Gungubele Junior Secondary School, from the rural area, Cofimvaba, near Queenstown, will be representing the Chris Hani Region.  The school starts at Grade R and ends at Grade 9 so they have never been able to enter COPA Coca-Cola. “We have heard so much about this tournament but it is only now that it is an under-15 competition that we were able to participate,” said coach, Wezo Ndiki.



Ndiki has a South African Football Association (SAFA) Introductory Football Coaching certificate and has been head coach at the school for ten years.  “We are a very small school with only 400 pupils and 16 educators, no soccer field, no electricity and running water which puts us at a disadvantage.  My players have to walk about 5km’s every day to the community fields to train.   I also encourage my players to join local teams that compete in the Kaulele Football Association League to help them develop into better players.”



Ndiki singled out Siyavuya Baba, his defender and team captain, as a key player.  The youngster reads the game well and he believes he will intimidate their opponents on Saturday.



Other participating schools are Zamokuhle Junior Secondary School from Alfred Nzo Region, Centane Junior Secondary School from Amathole Region, Ikamvalesizwe Combined School from  Cacadu Region, Ethembeni Junior Secondary School from Joe Gqabi Region, Douglas Mbopha Senior Secondary School from Nelson Mandela Region and Phezukwewilo Junior Secondary School from OR Tambo Region.



BODIKELA JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL ARE THE COPA COCA-COLA FREESTATE CHAMPIONS



Bodikela Junior Secondary School from Bohlokeng in the Thabo Mofutsanyane Region became the Free State provincial champions after beating Nkgopolleng High School 2 – 1 in the final match that took place at the Clive Solomon Stadium in Bloemfontein on Saturday 30 June.

Bodikela has been competing in COPA Coca-Cola for eight years and this is the second time they have reached the provincial finals.  In 2005 the school was knocked out at the semifinal stage.

Coach, Mokoni Molefe, who has a South African Football Association (SAFA) Introductory Football Coaching Certificate, is proud of his team as this is the first time his school has reached the COPA Coca-Cola national finals.  This is also the first time his Under-15’s have competed in a tournament of this caliber.  “The team played with determination and dedication and we owe this to Premier Soccer League (PSL) Club, Free State Stars goalkeeper, Kennedy Mweene who came to the school to motivate the youngsters.”

The coach also brought in a school player from 2005, now with the National First Division Club, Karara Kicks, to assist.  “I asked Buti Motaung to come and help me at training during the build up to the provincial finals. Our youngsters look up to the local teams and listen to them as they are their role models.”

Another Bodikela success story is Mbongeni Dlamini(striker) who was with Bidvest Wits and now plays for African Warriors in the National First Division.

Midfielder, Teboho Mokoena, scored the winning goal that put Bodikela into the National Finals.  “We trained for two hours four times a week during the build up to the provincial finals, and this win shows me that it was all worth it.  I want to thank our Life Orientation teacher, Monica Myende, who worked on building our fitness which helped us maintain a high pace throughout the day.”

The last provincial final will take place on 7 July at the Thandanani Stadium in Matatiele in the Eastern Cape. The nine provincial champions will travel to Johannesburg to compete in the National Finals from 12 – 14 July.

DEFENDING COPA COCA-COLA CHAMPIONS REACH FREE STATE PROVINCIAL FINAL STAGE




The Free State provincial finals in the under-15 COPA Coca-Cola football competition take place at the Edenburg Stadium in Edenburg on Saturday, June 30 (kickoff at 9.00am).

This is the eighth of the nine provincial finals, with the nine eventual winners going through to the national finals in Johannesburg from July 12 to 14.

2011 Free State provincial and ultimate national champions, HTS Louis Botha, from the Motheo Region, will be back again this year. The school has been competing in the tournament since 2009 and have reached the provincial finals three times. With the prize money they won last year the school purchased soccer boots and kit as well as training equipment.

Prince Fani, who has a South African Football Association (SAFA) Introductory Football Coaching Certificate and degree in Sports Science, has been head coach at the school for seven years and has worked with teams from Under 10 up to the Under 19.  “COPA Coca-Cola is our favourite tournament and we have done exceptionally well.  This year is different in that it is an Under-15 tournament, but I have faith in my youngsters and believe we could well reach the National Finals again.  I have put in some extra training sessions to prepare them better.”

HTS Louis Botha is a Sports Academy and has produced many sportsmen that have gone on to become professionals such as Alan Donald (cricket).  Football was only introduced to the school more recently and already produced talented players that have joined local Clubs.  Mohau Molefe and Sedilaka Mokone are with the Bloemfontein Celtic (Premier Soccer League) under-19 development team whereas Wandile Tjemolane has joined Roses United (Second Division) and Samkelo Dladla with United Football Club (National First Division). “We have only been playing football for a few years now and we plan to make a huge impact in the Free State by providing skilled and well trained players.”

Key players Fani believes will one day become professionals include: Gareth Pietersen, defender and team captain, who reads the game well and is a good team motivator. Defi Fcholtz(striker) has an eye for goals and makes good runs. Tsietsi Ramosedi (midfielder) makes accurate ball passes, dribbles well  and is a good ball distributor.

Other participating schools are Nkgopolleng High School from Fezile Dabi Region,Concordia High School from Lejweleputswa Region, Tswela Pele ka Thuto High School  and Samuel Johnson High School both from Xhariep Region and Thabo Mofutsanyane Region's representative still to be selected. Kick-off is at 09:00 am at Edenburg Stadium in Edenburg.

LEHLASEDI HIGH SCHOOL ARE THE MPUMALANGA PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS IN THE UNDER-15 COPA COCA-COLA



Lehlasedi High School from Shatale Township, near Bushbuck Ridge in the Bohlabela Region are the Mpumalanga provincial champions in the under-15 COPA Coca-Cola football tournament.

They beat Tikhontele High School in a penalty shootout in the finals, played in Nelspruit last Saturday, and now will represent Mpumalanga in the National Finals in Johannesburg in July.

Lehlasedi High School has been participating in COPA Coca-Cola since 2000 and this is the first time they made it through to the National Finals.  The team is coached by Aubrey Molele, an experienced coach who was with Second Division Club, Two For Joy, from 2000 to 2002.  .

Molele is very proud of his team’s achievement. “Most of the players are from surrounding rural areas and walk up to 7km a day to get to school.  This, I believe, contributed to their fitness and ability to sustain peak performance throughout the day.”

“But competing in the National Final is not going to be easy,” said Molele.  “My players are very talented but we have to work on our ball control and passing skills if we want to finish within the first three.”

Defender Theo Lekhuleli is Lehlasedi’s key player.  “After so many years competing in COPA Coca-Cola I am so pleased to be part of the team that has put us into the National Finals for the first time.  What also excites me is to get the opportunity to play against other teams from around the county as that will help us all learn a lot in terms of different styles of play and it will give me a chance to showcase my talent nationwide.”

MPUMALANGA RESULTS


Schools participating:

Tikhontele High School (Ehlanzeni Region); Nansindlela Combined School (Nkangala Region); Lindile High School (Gert Sibande  Region); Lehlasedi High School (Bohlabelo Region).

NELSPRUIT HOSTS MPUMALANGA COPA COCA-COLA PROVINCIAL FINALS



The Kabhokweni Stadium in Nelspruit will host the under-15 COPA Coca-Cola Mpumalanga provincial football finals on Saturday, 16 June. The four regional winners in the province will be competing for the provincial crown and for a place at the COPA Coca-Cola national finals in Johannesburg from July 12 to 14.

The schools that will be competing are: Lehlasedi High School (Bohlabela region); Nansindlela Combined School (Nkangala region); Lindile Secondary School (Gert Sibande region); Tikhontele Secondary School (Hlanzeni region) and the action kicks off at 10am on Saturday June 16.

Lindile Secondary School from Wesselton Township in Ermelo is not new to COPA Coca-Cola having reached the provincial finals in 2009, only to be knocked out in the final game.

Coach, Thulani Nkosi, has been in charge of the team for three years now. He believes COPA Coca-Cola has helped the school interact more with their neighbouring schools because now they all train during the week and play matches against each other over weekends which is something they don’t normally do.

Nkosi singles out defensive midfielder Zanele Kuhlase as one of his key players. “He makes good runs from the back and covers well for the other defenders,” Nkosi says. He is also expecting big things from his captain and goalkeeper Andile Motha. “He saved two penalties in the regional playoffs and reads the game very well. He is a natural leader.”

Andile Motha sees the provincial playoffs as a great opportunity to meet other players. “The best part of the tournament is playing against other teams from around the province that we have not seen before. This is the best way to help us develop into better players.”

Lindile’s strongest opposition is likely to come from Tikhontele Secondary School from the Hlanzeni Region. The School is situated in Mbombela Village near Nelspruit and is in the COPA Coca-Cola provincial finals for the third time. They were knocked out at this stage in 2009 and again last year.

Team manager Nkosana Mhlongo believes winning is not the most important thing. “You benefit just by competing,” he says. “We have never been crowned the provincial champions before but it is the experience that counts and the two sets of soccer kits we have which we use all the time.”

Goalkeeper Surprise Mahumane is one the side’s star players. “He has great reflexes, and is a good ball distributor,” said Mhlongo.  Defender Musa Ndwandwe is another player that the side will be depending on for a good performance on Saturday.

“I will be doing my best on Saturday because I want to go to the Nationals in Johannesburg to stand a chance of being scouted by one of the PSL teams,” says Surprise Mahumane. “It is my dream is to play football professionally one day.”

The winning school on Saturday will join Kabelo Secondary School from Limpopo; Are-Fadimeheng Secondary School from North West; Johannesburg Secondary School from Gauteng; Masibonisane High School from KwaZulu-Natal and Robinvale High School from the Western Cape at the COPA Coca-Cola national finals in Johannesburg from July 12 to 14. The other provinces will be identifying their champions over the next few weeks.



ROBINVALE SECONDARY SCHOOL ARE THE COPA COCA-COLA WESTERN CAPE CHAMPIONS




Robinvale Secondary School became the Western Cape COPA Coca-Cola under-15 football provincial champions when they beat favourites, Cloestesville Secondary School 1-0 in the final match this past weekend at the Zwelentemba Stadium in Worcester.

The six winners of the Western Cape regional playoffs were divided into two pools of three teams each and the top school in each pool – Robinvale and Cloetesville - went through to the provincial final.

Robinvale, located in Atlantis on the West Cape coast, has competed in three Western Cape COPA Coca-Cola provincial finals, but this is the first time they have made it through to the national finals.

Their coach, Anthonio Michaels, was delighted with their performance. “We have played Cloetesville on a number of occasions, but this is the first time that we have beaten them,” he said.  “For the past four years we have been eyeing Copa Coca-Cola as a tournament to win and we have finally made it to the next level, the national finals, which is very exciting. The battle is not yet won, however, and I will spend the next few weeks preparing the boys mentally and physically for the next step. We are looking forward to the challenge and hopefully we will do as well at the national finals.”

Robinvale team captain, Vuyolomzi Mfiki, while excited, is not quite sure what to expect at the national finals, however he believes the team is fully prepared.  “I know we have been classified as newcomers but I believe many will know us by the end of the tournament. Last year we lost in the provincial final due to lack of concentration. We have learnt and are focused. We have worked really hard to be where we are now and our goal now is to come home with the trophy.”

Cloetesville Secondary School has been one of the most successful teams in the competition in the Western Cape. They won the Western Cape provincial finals in 2008, 2009 and in 2008 they were the COPA Coca-Cola national champions.

Robinvale now join Masibonisane High School from KwaZulu-Natal; Kabelo Secondary School from Limpopo, Are-Fadimeheng Secondary School from Northwest and Johannesburg Secondary School from Gauteng at the COPA Coca-Cola National Finals, in Johannesburg from July 12 to 14.

WESTERN CAPE COPA COCA-COLA PROVINCIAL FINAL WILL SEE SOME PAST WINNERS AND ONE NEW ONE COMPETING



The Western Cape will become the fifth province to identify its champion school in the under-15 OPA Coca-Cola schools football competition when its provincial playoff day takes place at the Zweleni Temba stadium in Worcester on Saturday June 9 (kickoff at 9 am).



The winners on the day will join Masibonisane High School from KwaZulu-Natal; Kabelo Secondary School from Limpopo, Are-Fadimeheng Secondary School from Northwest and Johannesburg Secondary School from Gauteng at the COPA Coca-Cola National Finals, in Johannesburg from July 12 to 14.



Among the schools that will be in action at the finals is Robinvale High School from Atlantis in the West Coast Region.

This is their sixth time year that the school is competing in the COPA Coca-Cola competition, and only the second time they have made it through top the provincial finals.



They reached this stage of the competition in2009, and were knocked out in the semifinals that year.

Their coach, Christopher Samuels, has SAFA level one ,two and three coaching certificates and is a former assistant coach at the Ajax Cape Town Development Academy before coming to the school this year.

He is confident that the team is well prepared for the provincial finals and believes the team captain and striker, Reagen De Vos, is going to do well for them.

“Reagen reads the game well and is a good team motivator. He has an accurate shot and has been part of the Ajax development programme for two years,” Samuels says.



Reagen De Vos says he is happy his team will be playing in the provincial finals because this will give him the opportunity to play against other schools around the province. He sees this as a great platform to meet other inspiring young footballers and he hopes they will learn a lot from one another.



Lukhanyo Primary School from Zwekihle in the Overberg Region are participating in the COPA Coca-Cola for the first time.

Their coach, Michael Manqoba, has been with the team since 2002 and is the sports coordinator at the school.“I am very excited to finally represent his region in the provincial finals because we never played in a tournament of this calibre before and it will be a great experience for the team since they have always only been exposed to playing the schools in our region before,” he says.



Lukhanyo’s goalkeeper, Esihle Bhula is a brilliant shot stopper and distributor and he is going to play a big role in the provincial finals, Manqoba believes.

“Another key player for us will be Odwa Tshisa, a midfielder who reads the game well and is an accurate passer of the ball.”



The schools playing in the Western Cape COPA Coca-Cola provincial finals are: Beaufort West Secondary School (Karoo Region), Imozamoyethu Secondary School (Eden Region), Lukhanyo Primary School (Overberg Region), Robinvale High School (West Coast Region).

The schools that will represent the Winelands Cape Town regions still have to be decided

KZN HIGH SCHOOLS READY FOR THE COPA COCA-COLA PROVINCIAL FINALS



The Cecil Emmet Sports Grounds in Vryheid will be the venue for the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Finals in the under-15 COPA Coca-Cola football tournament on Saturday June 2 (kickoff 9am).

Twelve Regional winners from around the province will be in action on the day and they will be fighting it out for the KwaZulu-Natal title and for the honour of representing the province at the National Finals in July. The winning schools also receive prize money from the sponsors, to be used to purchase sporting and educational equipment for their school.

Among the contenders to take the KwaZulu-Natal crown is Umqhele Secondary School from the Pinetown district. This is the sixth time that the school has played in the COPA Coca-Cola competition. They won the 2007 KwaZulu-Natal provincials title and were knocked out in the quarterfinal stage of the National Playoffs that year. Among the school’s most famous ex-pupils is Golden Arrows and Bafana Bafana midfielder Thanduyise Khuboni.

As far as this year’s team is concerned, Luyanda Mchunu, a speedy striker with an eye for goals, who netted six times in the regional stage of the competition, and goalkeeper Mlungisi  Mkhize who saved four penalties ion the regional playoff games, are likely to be key players on Saturday.

Umqhele Secondary’s coach is Phenduka Mkhwanazi. He says his team are determined to be crowned the provincial champions on Saturday.

“We don’t have a sponsor and this is our chance to win ourselves some money so we can buy soccer equipment because at the moment we have a good soccer field but our soccer balls and kit is old and some of our players have to borrow boots for matches,” he says.

Umqhele’s strongest opposition is likely to come from Bethamoya High School from the Amajuba district.

The school is based in Emadadeni Township near Newcastle. This is the fourth time they have been in the COPA Coca-Cola competition and they won the KwaZulu-Natal title in 2009.

Their key players are striker Xolani Cebekhulu who got four goals in the regional stage of the competition; Samukelo Dweku, who is a midfielder and a good ball distributor to the strikers and the captain, Sanele Nyembe, a defender who reads the game very well.

Their coach is Sihlesenkosi Gwala, a teacher at the school. He says they are grateful for the opportunity Coca-Cola is giving them.

“Our former student Andile Ace Khumalo plays for AmaZulu after being identified at the COPA Coca-Coca Tournament in 2009 by AmaZulu scouts,” Gwala says.
