The U/15 soccer team of Louis Trichardt High School had a good season and came as far as being crowned champions in their cluster.
Their coaches, Messrs Bethuel Tshivhenga and Gerard Rossouw, were proud of them when they won the Soutpansberg East circuit in the COPA Coca-Cola circuit on 24 April on their home turf. They beat Makhado Comprehensive 4-0, Murunwa 3-1 and Masedi 5 -1.
As winners of the Soutpansberg East Circuit, the U/15s of Louis Trichardt competed against Soutpansberg North (Musina High School) and Soutpansberg West (Benny's Care Sports Academy). Louis Trichardt scored six goals as opposed to the one goal of Musina. It was, however, the match against Benny's Care that coach Tshivhenga described as the highlight of their season.
"We drew 1-1, but it was an excellent game against the team of an academy that specializes in sport," Tshivhenga said.
As Soutpansberg cluster champions, the team played other teams of the Vhembe District at the Makwarela Stadium on 2 May. They lost 0-1against Lwamondo and 0-4 against Malamulele.
The winners of the final of the FNB U/15 Legacy Programme were Makhado FC, with Swakoteka FC from Bungeni in second place.
