Students see off Tornados in cup semi

THE semifinals of the EP hockey Knockout Cup were contested last weekend, with the NMMU Madibaz getting the better of Gelvan Tornados in a women’s premier encounter.

The Tornados never settled into any structured play and although they did create a few scoring opportunities, they failed to convert any as Madibaz won 2-0.

The second semifinal saw St Peters awarded a walkover against Rhodes.

The premier men’s semifinals were won by NMMU Madibaz, who beat Pirates 2-0, and Gelvan Hurricanes, who edged Lakeside Cavaliers 3-2.

In the President’s women’s section, Pirates Jolly Rodgers had a hard-fought affair against Old Collegians, winning 2-1.

The second semifinal produced a comfortable win for Old Collegians Academy, who outplayed Wosa 9-0.

In the men’s semifinals, Lakeside Cavaliers had a narrow 2-1 win over PEC Chargers, while Old Grey Unicorns were comfortable 4-0 winners over Wosa.
