Players from Dundee, Ladysmith, Middelburg, Bethlehem, Piet Retief, Newcastle and Pietermaritzburg went head-to-head in thrilling matches, showcasing both skill and determination.

Emerging victorious were brothers Ahmed and Yusuf Ayob from Piet Retief, who claimed the R5 000 cash prize. Runners-up Bilal and Safi enjoyed a luxurious night’s stay at Bella’s Rest Guest House, kindly sponsored by local supporters.

Third place went to Waseem and Dian from Lesotho, while Angamia and Raeez from Harrismith secured fourth place, receiving an Orange Grove hamper and R2 000 credit on the Playtomic app.

The title of Pop Out King went to Bilal Cassim, whose outstanding “pop outs” won over the crowd.
