Another busy weekend lies ahead for the teams campaigning under the banner of the Hollywoodbets Super League.
Still battling to come to terms with the 1-2 defeat they suffered at the hands of Copper Belts Ladies at the Seshego Stadium in Polokwane last Saturday, Maindis Ladies have another mountain to climb this weekend. They will host TS Galaxy Queens at the Giyani Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Maindis are struggling to find a winning combination this season. They managed to win only two of the 12 matches they have played to date. The Bungeni side are currently rooted at the bottom of the log with six points.
The chairman of Maindis Ladies, Mr Falaza Mdaka, admitted that the team's poor performance was a thorn in the flesh of everyone in their camp. He said that they were working hard in a bid to turn the team's fortunes around. A quick glance at the Queens' performance in their last eight games shows that Maindis will be lucky if they manage to grab a point in Saturday's match. Galaxy Queens are lying in the third position on the log standings with 27 points, six behind the pace setters, UWC FC.
The mood is good in the Queens' camp, following their 5-0 victory over Richmond United last Saturday. The Queens' playmaker, Madembe Tshikumbu, will be playing against her former team. Tshikumbu was part of Maindis for the past two seasons, until she parted ways with the club at the end of last season.
First Touch Academy will entertain Copper Belts in their Polokwane derby at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Richmond United will meet University of Pretoria FC at the Galeshewe Stadium in Kimberley, while City Lads will fight for league points against Durban Ladies at the Tsakane Stadium in Johannesburg. The other fixtures are Royal AM vs University of Johannesburg, Thunderbirds Ladies vs TUT FC, JVW FC vs Coal City Wizards and Mamelodi Sundowns vs UWC FC.
