Saitama de Sa wins the PES2020 Cup.

Saitama de Sa won the privately run PES2020 Cup

Congratulations are in order for PES Society new recruit Saitama de Sa for winning the privately run PES2020 Cup. Saitama managed to pip fellow club member Rafeeq Carriem in the final to take the trophy on his PES Society tournament debut.

PES Society is an incredibly dynamic club that produces positive results on a regular basis.

For any club to be sustainable, the club must have both depth and strength in terms of athletes. A club that bases its success on a single team and/or player will fail in the long term.

Old Edwardian Society is to host online test match between South Africa and Namibia.

The National Colours Boards in the main entrance showing the names of all members who had earned Springbok and/or Protea Colours.

South Africa (as  represented by MSSA) shall be playing an online test match against Namibia (NeSA) in FIFA '17 on aturday,  29 July 2017 at 12:00 WAT / 13:00 SAST.

The test match forms part  of a greater vision held to further develop  esports throughout all of Africa.

By establishing non-profit national federations throughout Africa, CAeS and its member federations are paving the way for esports to eventually be accepted into the All African Games.

Thus, MSSA's oldest member club - the Old Edwardian Wargames Club - which was founded in 1982 has  taken it upon its shoulders to host the online test match.

The South African  National Team shall play from the  King's Tavern, a venue that houses a great deal of the Society's sporting memorabilia.

The match shall be filmed and shown on MSSA's channel on TULUNTULU.
