Rookies Joe Maweja to face Giyani Hotspurs in Motsepe

The affiliates of the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League will be engaged in their league activities this weekend. Seven matches will be played at different venues throughout the province tomorrow afternoon, while only one will be seen on Sunday afternoon.

While most of the teams will be playing their third league matches this season, the situation is totally different with the only Vhembe District-based side, Joe Maweja FC. Maweja will be playing their debut league match tomorrow. They will host Giyani Hotspurs at the Tshifulanani Stadium.

Maweja’s marksman, Khuliso Netshaulu, will watch the game from the grandstand. He is still recovering from the injuries he sustained when he was knocked down by a vehicle two weeks ago. Khumbudzo Muvhango, the team’s dribbling wizard, is likely to be Netshaulu’s replacement tomorrow. Hotspurs will not find it easy to penetrate through the defence of Maweja, which is marshalled by Dakalo “DK” Ratshitanga, Aubrey Ndou and Mashudu Makhari.

Nkowankowa Barcelona will fight for league points with The Dolphins at the Nkowankowa Stadium in Tzaneen. Barcelona are an unknown team to Dolphins, as they are rookies in the ABC Motsepe League. Bellevue Winners Park will travel to Polokwane where they will try their luck against Polokwane United at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

The other ABC Motsepe newcomers, Boyne Young Tigers, will play in front of their home crowd. They will entertain A1 Terrors at the Boyne Stadium in Polokwane. Gawula Classic, or Dynamos FC as they were formerly called, will visit the Polokwane Academy at the Polokwane Rugby Stadium.

The match not to be missed will be between Magezi FC and Bilika All Stars at the TT Cholo Stadium in Polokwane. Magezi are the defending champions. Great North FC will meet Mighty FC at the Seshego Stadium in their Polokwane derby, while Mosesetjane All Stars and Lephalale Young Killers will do battle for league points at the TT Cholo Stadium in the only match that will be played on Sunday.
