"The finals will be played on the last weekend of April," Jimmy "Jay Jay" Ngobeni, Mogodumo area schools' chairman, said yesterday.
"I urge all the teachers to start preparing for their players because it will not be an easy tournament next year.

"This is part of our mission to promote softball at schools."
