Stellenbosch’s Paul Roos Gimnasium kept their hopes of winning back-to-back Hibbert Shield titles alive by defeating Paarl Gimnasium 5-2 in the quarterfinals on Friday to book a place in the tournament’s last four at the Rectory Astroturf in Gqeberha.
Joining them in the semi-finals were the hosts, Grey High School, South African College High School(SACS), and the surprise package, Hoërskool Garsfontein.
To reach the last four, Garsfontein, who failed to register a win in the group stages, shocked Bishops Diocesan College, who were unbeaten in 2024, with a late goal from Reghardt Momberg in the fourth quarter.
Grey breezed past Westville Boys’ High, winning 3-0, while SACS were made to work hard for their 2-1 win against a stubborn Durban High School (DHS).
The quarterfinal between Paul Roos and Paarl Gimnasium was highly anticipated. It was the sides’ first meeting of the season, and it got off to a blistering start when Gim opened the scoring, courtesy of a Juan Swanepoel goal, with under two minutes played.
PRG was quick to respond, and it was their skipper, Reuben Sendzul, who led the comeback.
Sendzul, after a dangerous run inside the circle, won a penalty corner for his side and, from that opportunity, he whipped a strong drag flick into the back of the net to level matters at 1-1.
The complexion of the match changed in the second chukka when coach Michael Baker’s side raised the tempo.
Sendzul bagged a second goal after his teammate Ruben Gouws did well to earn a PC. It was business as usual for the SA u21 player, as he rocketed another drag flick into the back of the net to give Paul Roos the lead for the first time.
With four minutes remaining in the chukka, the skipper completed his hattrick after dribbling for 20 metres before sneaking a shot past Joe van Coller.
PRG wasn’t yet done and Callum van Oudsthoorn extended their advantage to 4-1 before the break.
The third quarter was a more balanced affair, with both teams scoring one goal apiece.
Barend Geldenhuys made it 5-1 to Paul Roos, but Gim kept fighting and Swanepoel, who has been rich goal scoring form, replied for the Paarl boys.
In the semi-finals, PRG tackles Garsfontein, while SACS takes on Grey High School only two weeks after beating the Gqeberha side 5-2 in Cape Town.
