Alex Soccer Teams crowned Champions

Sunday was a day of celebration for Alexander Road High School as both the Alex boys and girls soccer teams were crowned champions at the inaugural Super Soccer Schools tournament, hosted by Urban Academy on 25 – 27 April. The girls’ team made it through the group stages undefeated, scoring a total of 21 goals. In the Championship match, they put on an excellent display, beating Victoria Park 2 – 0 with calm and composed football. In the boys’ final match, drama unfolded in thrilling fashion. Facing a strong Ndzondelelo High School side, Alex took an early lead and looked set for a narrow victory. However, Ndzondelelo drew level with a penalty kick in the dying seconds of normal time, sending the match into a tense penalty shootout. Undeterred, Alex held their nerve, scoring four penalties to Ndzondelelo’s one (4 – 1) in the shootout to secure the title.
We are extremely proud of their success!
