Benny’s aiming to win Kay Motsepe Cup

 

The 2014 Sanlam Kay Motsepe Schools Cup, the biggest U/19 schools soccer tournament in Africa, is about to get underway, with the schools involved vying for some serious prize money.

The tournament is now in its 10th year and the funds that will be allocated to the winning schools at provincial and national level are a whopping R3.4 million. All the prize money must be used to fund projects identified by the school that will enhance their pupils’ learning experience and help the community they are located in.

Last year’s Limpopo champions, who ended in sixth position in the national championship, Benny’s Care Sports Academy, will be spending their R100 000 winnings on furniture and computers.

Registration for this year's competition closed at the end of March and the organisers, the South African Schools Football Association (SASFA), are busy drawing up the fixtures for the games at cluster level. Once those matches have been played, the winners will go through to the regional playoffs, followed by the provincial championships, with the top two schools from each province going through to the national championships.

According to Shawn Bishop from the Mamelodi Sundowns Academy, who represents Sundowns boss Patrice Motsepe, this year several development coaches will be attending the provincial finals to scout for talent.

The coach of Benny's Care, Justice Matloga, promised that they were going to win the tournament this year and bring the silverware to Limpopo.
