The Rabali Home Defenders grounds in the Nzhelele Valley will be the centre of attraction tomorrow (Saturday). This is where the much-awaited final for the Muravha Building and Civil Soccer Challenge will be staged.
The teams that will meet in the final are the defending champions Wesifa Masters and Sendedza Masters.
Sendedza's way to the final went via Mandiwana Masters whom they beat 5-3 in their semi-final match at the Rabali Home Defenders ground last Saturday. The winner was determined through penalty shoot-out as the score was 2-2 at the end of the regulation time. Wesifa beat Khakhu Masters 3-1 at the same venue the following day to secure a place in the final.
According to the Masters' League general secretary, Mr Gerson Muravha, tomorrow's programme will commence with a match between the Nzhelele veterans and their Thohoyandou counterparts, which is scheduled to kick off at 13:00. It will be followed by the losers' final match between Mandiwana Masters and Khakhu Masters.
The final is expected to kick off at 17:00 and the prize-giving ceremony will be held at the ground shortly after the final whistle.
The champions will go home with R1 000, a floating trophy, soccer kit, two soccer balls, a pair of goalkeeper's gloves and gold medals. The runners-up will receive R600, a soccer kit, soccer ball and silver medals. The third placed side will take home R400 and a soccer ball while a cash prize of R300 and a soccer ball are awaiting the team that will finish in the fourth spot.
