Victory for the Crawford U16 soccer team
SANDTON – The Crawford College U16 soccer team was crowned the Independent Schools' Soccer League champions.
The Crawford College Sandton U16 boys’ soccer team is this year’s Independent Schools’ Soccer League (ISSL) champions.
Their victory came after a hard-fought battle against Marion Brothers Linmeyer in the final at the Randburg Football Club with Crawford emerging 2–1 winners.
The school congratulated the team on a successful season that was capped off with the trophy. Charles Smith, director of sport at Crawford College Sandton said the team had a phenomenal year.
“Coming second in the pool meant playing in the semi-final round against a determined opponent, Saint Barnaba’s College,” he said.
He added that they overcame that obstacle with a convincing 4–1 win. In the final, Crawford’s Daron Bauman scored from a penalty in the first half to give his team a 1–0 lead at the break.
“Lynden Ntsubane then put them further in the lead with a superb goal in the second half,” added Smith.
Their opponents pulled one back with 15 minutes to go setting up a thrilling final quarter.
“The team fought gallantly triumphing in the end with a 2–1 victory and the crown of ISSL league winners for 2018.”
