SA demolish Seychelles
South Africa trounced Seychelles in the Cosafa u-17 women's championship.
Oyisa Marhasi scored a first-half double hat-trick and substitute Tiffany Kortjie repeated the feat in the second half, as South Africa's recorded an incredible 28-0 win over Seychelles in their Cosafa women's under-17 championship in Port Louis, Mauritius on Saturday.
South Africa's one-sided victory significantly betters the record 17-0 scoreline that the country's senior women's side set just over a month ago, when they defeated Comoros at the Cosafa women's championship in Port Elizabeth.
Captain Jessica Wade, Nabeelah Galant and Sonika Mzingeli scored hat-tricks as 11 players got their names on the scoresheet.
South Africa romped to a 15-0 lead at halftime, with coach Simphiwe Dludlu's new-look line-up showing little mercy to their rookie opponents.
Marhasi and Kortjie are now joint top goal-scorers at the tournament.
South Africa's victory came after Yaone Modise and Christinah Monyatsi both scored twice to lead Botswana to a one-sided 6-0 drubbing of Madagascar in the opening Group B outing.
It took almost 20 minutes before Botswana broke the deadlock against Madagascar in the opening game on a cloudy day in Mauritius, as defender Serati Modisenyane showed the way.
Modise then grabbed the second with an impressive shot from outside the penalty area to ensure a 2-0 lead for Botswana.
Monyatsi made it 3-0 after 58 minutes and Modise notched her second goal with about 11 minutes left on the clock.
Substitute Bofelo Rantsho added her name to the scoresheet with just two minutes remaining, but the final act of the game fell to Monyatsi, who scored to ensure resounding 'six of the best' win.
Hosts Mauritius headlined the action at the St Francois Xavier Stadium on Sunday.
Mauritius started the tournament with an impressive 5-1 win over fellow Indian Ocean islanders Comoros, were likely face much stiffer opposition from guest competitors Uganda.
Uganda drew 1-1 with Zambia in their opening game on Friday, making yesterday's encounter key for both sides, if they are to advance to the semi-finals.
The earlier game yesterday in Group A saw Comoros tackle Zambia at the same venue.
