Dotito scrapped through the whole afternoon, winning in penalty shootouts from the group stages up to the semi-final stage.

In the quarter finals they faced hosts Hermann Gmeiner playing in a match that ended in a goalless draw but they went on to win 4-2 on penalties, setting a date with provincial favourites Chifamba. Again the match needed penalty shoot outs to decide the winner, with Dotito bagging the match with a 4-2 victory. Dotito beat Bradley High School in the finals 2-1 to book a place at the Arenel National finals set for early August at Prince Edward.

In Masvingo, Chibi High School also booked a place in the finals after dismissing a stubborn Gutu High School after 4-3 on penalties after regulation time failed to produce an outright winner.

Meanwhile, Manunure will represent the Midlands province while Gaza represents Manicaland with Chemhanza representing Mashonaland West. Mzingwane High School came out tops in Matabeleland South.
