Uplands ready for action at SA champs

In the finals of the Mpumalanga Championships, which were played in Ermelo last weekend, Uplands beat Laerskool Middelburg 2-0.

The boys also clinched the trophy during last year’s provincial champs. Of the 29 games the boys played, they lost three and drew three. The u/12 girls finished ninth while the u/13 girls first played against Middelburg and won 2-1 in an eight-second playoff. They were victorious when they beat Goedehoop in another thrilling eight-second playoff.

The u/13s lost the final match and closed their season with a well-deserved silver medal.

Uplands’ u/12 boys also placed second in the province and the u/11s took the bronze.
