The battle for the 15th SA Challenge Cup title will come down to a final round scrimmage between the GolfRSA Juniors and Western Province at Atlantic Beach Golf Club on Friday.

GolfRSA Juniors extended their unbeaten run with a magnificent 10.5 – 1.5 victory over defending champions Gauteng North on Thursday.

The GolfRSA Juniors lead the standings with eight points, but it is all to play for after the host union handed the Presidents Teams an 8.5 – 3.5 drubbing in the fourth round to finish just one point off the pace.

In the other final round matches, Central Gauteng will attempt to defeat Gauteng North while the Presidents Team is targeting their first victory of the championship against third-placed University Sport South Africa.

Fourth Round Results
GolfRSA Juniors 10.5 vs Gauteng 1.5
