The tournament was scheduled to start last Saturday but has been postponed to the coming Saturday 21 October.

The semi-finals will then be played and the first match kicks off at 12:30. The second should get underway at 14:30.

The finals are on Saturday 4 November from 10:00 to 12:00 and will form part of the Algoa Cup Festival.

On this day the action will get underway at 09:00 with exhibition matches between the Fairview Race Course junior teams, u/11’s and u/15’s.

These half hour matches will set the scene for the finals to follow.
