United Brothers were presented with R3,500, a floating trophy, gold medals, soccer kit and a soccer ball during a ceremony at the grounds after the final game.

The runners-up, Madala Silver Stars, were given R1,500, silver medals, a small trophy, and a soccer ball. Silver Stars beat Dzwerani Young Brothers 3-2 in their semi-final-round match at the same venue earlier that day.

Nine teams from Ward 26 of the Thulamela Local Municipality took part in the tournament, namely Dzwerani United Brothers, Dzwerani Young Brothers, Mahematshena Flying Birds, Nakisani FC, Centurion FC, Shooting Stars FC, Madala Silver Stars, Powerlines FC and Mvelaphanda FC.
