Mudikhomu Primary crowned as champions

The winner was determined by through a penalty shoot-out, as the score was 0-0 after regulation time.

The manager of Build-It Elim, Mr Mboneni Phungo, said the objective of the programme was to instil important values at schools through participation in sports. It will also increase the physical, emotional and intellectual potential of the scholars and promote better health and an active lifestyle.

He added that it was sad that most rural children did not have entertainment activities after school. He stated that his company would continue to sponsor the circuit in the coming years.

Mr Moses Nwadule of Hlanganani Schools Sport appealed to businesspeople to get involved in promoting local activities. He added that his league had been operating many years without a sponsorship.

The champions, Mudikhomu Primary, went home with a floating trophy, soccer kit, 16 small trophies and 16 bibs. The runners-up, Djunani Primary, received 16 bibs, 16 small trophies, a ball and a bag.
