Real Aces crush Tshakhuma FC

 

Tshivhulana Real Aces were crowned the 2014 champions of the Vho-Makhadzi Soccer Challenge during a ceremony held at the Vuwani Mandani grounds last Saturday. This followed after the team managed to beat Tshakhuma na ndilani FC 4-2 in the final. Mission Young Rovers lost 0-2 to Tshirululuni XI Bullets in their losers’ final match, which was also played at the same venue earlier that afternoon.

Real Aces became R3 000 richer, apart from the gold medals and floating trophy they were presented with during the ceremony. Tshakhuma na ndilani FC received R2 500 and silver medals. Tshirululuni XI Bullets, who obtained the third place in the competition, were presented with R2 000. The fourth-placed side, Mission Young Rovers, took home a cash prize of R1 150.

During the ceremony, the managing director of sponsoring company Vho-Makhadzi Funeral Services, Mrs TL Kanakana, described the sponsorship as the beginning of a long-lasting relationship between her company and the Makhado Local Football Association. According to her, the sponsorship is one of the company’s many ways to plough back into the community.

Mrs Kanakana further revealed that the sponsorship will increase from time to time, depending on the financial standing of the company. During the ceremony, the president of the SAFA Vhembe Regional Football Association, Mr George Kubayi, praised the management of the company for the decision to channel a fraction of their profit towards the development of local football.

At the same time, Mr Kubayi handed over a trophy and certificate to Mrs Kanakana as the association’s token of appreciation. Twenty-eight teams affiliated to the Makhado Local Football Association took part in the competition.
