- AVRIL FILLIES

The 64 teams competing in the 10th Bayview u-16 Youth Cup know exactly in which group and against who they are playing, after the draw on Monday 16 June at Mondale High School in Portland, Mitchells Plain.

The teams were divided into 16 groups of four teams each and most of the teams are from Cape Town besides Beaufort West and a team from Namibia.

The guest speaker was Duncan Crowie, a retired striker of Santos and Bafana Bafana. When asked where the team fell short last year, he had the following to say.

“Reaching the final is already a positive for the team. Playing in a tournament of this magnitude is difficult and anything can happen.

“The important thing is what we took away as positives in last year's tournament,” says Crowie.
