Glenville crowned 2012 Engen Knockout Champions
THE fourth leg of South Africa’s premier U17 soccer tournament, The Engen Knockout Challenge, was recently held at Gelvandale Sports Complex where the host club was crowned champion. The under-17 team from the host club, Glenville Celtic FC faced off against Shining Stars FC in what was a very closely-fought final match. Both teams have participated in this tournament for the past four years and faced a major challenge during the match considering the number of talented individuals in their mix. With players like Celtic’s Darren Bamboo, who according to Tournament Director, Elroy Swart is a player to keep an eye on, Shining Stars really had to step up to the challenge. The final match saw equal possession between the two teams but it was Shining Stars’ Buhle Khathe, who stepped forward and scored the first goal in the fifteenth minute of the first half. For the rest of the first half, Glenville Celtic FC tried time and time again to equalize before halftime but their efforts were in vain. The second half saw the Glenville Celtic FC player, Jaundre Jordaan “Rusta”, equalizing the scoring shortly after the start. With both teams failing to score the winning goal during regular time, the match went into extra time. Once again Glenville Celtic FC star, Bamboo, delivered for the team scoring what turned out to be the winning goal and giving Glenville Celtic FC the much sought after title as 2012 champions. Glenville’s
achievement saw them become the second host club champions for 2012, following Bloemfontein’s host club, Grey College’s win two weeks back. Not only did Glenville Celtic Football Club receive a magnificent floating trophy and R10 000 in tournament prize money, they also scooped the individual performance award recognition for Auburn Butler who received the Defender of the Tournament trophy. The winning team not only received recognition for the performance of the players but also for the coach, Jerome Stowman, who received the individual award for Coach of the Tournament. The Fair Play Team of the Tournament award went to Thornhill United Football Club demonstrating that not only have the players displayed impressive football skills throughout this tournament, but that they also participated with great sportsmanship and fair play, values that exemplify the Engen brand. “The Engen Knockout Challenge bears testament to Engen’s commitment to and investment in South African youth football development and continues to encourage players to bring determination and passion to the field of play. “These young talented participants are the winners at the end of the day and while the remaining 15 teams may not have raised that championship trophy, they should all hold their heads up high and continue to live out their football dreams as they have many exciting years of competitive play ahead of them”, commented Brad Bergh, Group Sponsorship Manager of En-
