Ubuntu Football Academy flew the flag for the Mother City as they lined up for this year's Premier Cup final against Randburg FC, who caused a bit of an upset when they sent Mamelodi Sundowns packing with a 1-0 win in the quarter-finals.

In the semi-finals, Randburg edged out Safa Cape Town Academy by the same score to secure their place in the finals. Ubuntu beat fellow Cape FN Rangers rivals by a similar margin in their quarter-final clash and Cape Town City FC in the semi-finals. Ultimately, Ubuntu walked away newly-crowned champions with a 2-0 win against their Johannesburg rivals
