Discovery Primary triumphs in West Rand league

Discovery Primary School’s U13 soccer team has been crowned the champion of the West Rand Schools Association League after defeating Florida Primary with a 4–2 score in a thrilling final match that took place earlier in June at Pinnacle College.

The league, which featured 21 primary schools from across the West Rand, pushed the young players to their limits. However, the Discovery Primary School team remained at the top of the game, once again proving that they are a force to be reckoned with.

According to head coaches Siphesihle Mabaso and Lesley Williams, the team worked very hard, training even during school holidays, and their dedication has paid off.

“It means so much to us coaches to see such pure talent on the field. Not every learner is an academic; however, with soccer, they get to prove themselves and break generational curses. We feel immense pride,” they expressed.

“We trained even during school holidays, and the brotherhood formed between the boys is amazing.”

Zaneal Francis was a standout player, scoring most goals throughout the tournament, while Owami Mtetwa was named the match of the league.

The team’s achievement is not limited to this victory. One of their talented players was selected to participate in the prestigious Bill Stewart tournament in Durban, and the team was runner-up in the John TT Cup in March, and they were champions of the Knockout Cup in 2024.
