This weekend will be a busy one for the teams campaigning under the banner of the Hollywoodbets Super League. Six matches will be played at different venues countrywide on Saturday afternoon, with two fixtures scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
The much-awaited Limpopo derby between Maindis Ladies and Copper Belts will be staged at the Seshego Stadium on Saturday. Things are not going according to plan in the camp of Maindis Ladies. The Bungeni side are still battling to find a winning combination this season. They managed to win only two of the 11 matches they have played to date. Their two victories were against City Lads (3-0) and Thunderbirds Ladies (1-0).
The chairman of Maindis, Mr Falaza Mdaka, appealed to the team's enthusiastic fans not to press the panic button. According to him, things will soon take a new shape. Maindis are currently rooted at the bottom of the log with six points.
Although they are the newcomers in the league, Copper Belts did not take long to acclimatise to the higher division's heat. Copper Belts are currently lying in the 10th position with 12 points.
The other Polokwane-based side, First Touch Academy, will enjoy the home-ground advantage when they host City Lads at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. The players of First Touch are in the right frame of mind after beating Maindis Ladies 2-1 at the Giyani Stadium last Saturday. City Lads are one of three teams fighting for survival.
Durban Ladies are bracing themselves for a tough match. They will host JVW FC at the Chatsworth Stadium in Durban. The other weekend fixtures are UWC FC vs Royal AM, University of Pretoria Ladies vs Thunderbirds Ladies, University of Johannesburg vs TUT FC, Coal City Wizards vs Mamelodi Sundowns and TS Galaxy Queens vs Richmond United.
