beat Mhlume Professionals 2-1 in the second match.
Meanwhile, under group A, Tambankulu beat Rio Academy 5-2 in a match played at

line.
The tournament began in round robin format, whereby, the teams campaigning under
the RES Siyakha 1800 North West League are grouped into two - Group A and B. The
two topping teams in each group will advance to the semi-finals. Winners of the

According to the prize breakdown, the runners-up will get E5 000, while third
place finishers are set to take home E3 000. Worth noting is that there are also
prizes for individuals, with the player of the tournament, best coach and top
