On Saturday, 24 August the top four teams in the Waterberg Soccer Championships competed at the Modimolle Stadium.

They were then set to face their fierce rivals from Eenheid Primary School in Modimolle.
The game started slow, and LMPS struggled to get possession of the ball, but when the opportunity finally came, Lord Milner scored the first goal. Shortly after the start of the second half,
Eenheid scored two goals, one from a free kick, and one from a disputed goal. The match ended in favour of Eenheid Primary School, with a score of 2-1. Nape Matlaila was awarded Defender of the Tournament and Mduduzi Yende was awarded Midfielder of the Tournament. Coach Kamogelo Mokonyane won the Best Coach award.
