Westonaria hosts youth soccer tournament

Local youth soccer teams has a blast during the annual Youth Month Soccer Tournament.

The Sports and Recreation unit at the Westonaria Local Municipality recently held a Youth Month Soccer Tournament for the u.15 youth boys in conjunction with the Local Football Association.

This day was a huge success as 16 teams participated in the tournament which started on 26 June in Simunye and Bekkersdal respectively.

The finals of this greatly attended tournament took place on 29 June at the Isiqalo Artificial Soccer field, which was donated to the tournament by the Soccer World Cup 2010 local organising committee as part of their contribution towards development of the sport in previously disadvantaged communities.

The final match was played by Ghetto FC from Simunye and their opponents, Vuvuzela FC from Bekkersdal.

Ghetto FC emerged as the overall winners of the tournament and soccer kit, gold medals and a trophy were handed to them.

The Local Football Association is also planning to grow the event and make it an annual event, as it contributes positively towards soccer development in the community.
