The second Africa Castle 5 a side qualifying tournament took place on Saturday with 16 teams competing at Rustic Indoors in Fourways. The sixteen teams came with the eye on  the prize, an opportunity to go through to the national Final being held at the Rand Show from Wednesday 4 – Saturday 7 April 2018.

Milanos were the victorious team after battling it out with other teams. The games ended at 16:30 after the teams had to go into Penalty shootout. Milanos beat Royal Lakes 2- 0 after penalties and confirmed their spot in the final.
