Maindis Ladies are still to win a league match this season. The team have failed to collect even a single point from the five matches they have played to date. Whether the Bungeni side will resurrect from the grave and beat the University of the Western Cape FC when they meet in their Hollywoodbets Super League match at the Malamulele Stadium on Saturday remains to be seen.
Maindis' latest humiliation was a 2-3 defeat at the hands of Coal City Wizards FC at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Emalahleni last Saturday. A quick glance at the league log shows that the team's strikers are not performing their duties in line with their job descriptions. Maindis have managed to score only three goals while conceding 13 in the five games they have played so far.
The chairman of the club, Mr Falaza Mdaka, is adamant that things will soon take a turn in their camp. He said that apart from the fact that they were planning to acquire the services of several experienced players as a matter of urgency, restructuring of the team's technical staff was also necessary.
Beating the UWC will not be an easy task for Maindis Ladies. The UWC FC are lying in the second place on the log standings with 12 points, one behind the pace setters, Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies.
Richmond United will enjoy the home-ground advantage in their match against University of Johannesburg FC that will be played at the Galeshewe Stadium in Kimberley. Thunderbirds Ladies will host City Lads at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Gqeberha. After crushing Maindis Ladies 3-2 last weekend, Coal City Wizards will travel to Polokwane for their match against First Touch Academy.
The other weekend fixtures are JVW FC vs TS Galaxy Queens, Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies vs University of Pretoria Ladies, Durban Ladies vs Copper Belts and Royal AM vs TUT Football Club.
