However, they were taught a huge lesson by the Harare Academy who beat MJ academy 4-0, Geras 3-0, Mhondongori 7-0.
They advanced to the semifinals and defeated Firehouse 6-0 before dispatching Pams Academy 5-0 in the final.
Speaking to the Midweek Watch Mambo Jephitar Foundation Founder Jephitar said at the end football won as the tournament was a success.
“The main thrust of the tournament was to spread the message and it was successful, despite the scorelines football won”, he said.
City Academy got a soccer kit, medals for claiming top spot.
