SAB league promotional play-off roundup

The opening matches for the SAB League promotional playoffs were played at three different venues last weekend.

The Stream C champions, United Artists, started the playoffs with a bang when they crushed Tshibvumo Young Stars 3-0 at the Malamulele Stadium on Sunday. In their second match, which was played at the Tshifudi Stadium later that day, United Artists played to a 2-2 draw with Western Stars. Artists are now leading Group B with four points.

Western Stars shared the glory with Muziafera Blue Eagles. They played to a 1-1 draw at the Tshifudi Stadium. In the other match also staged at the same venue, Muziafera Blue Eagles drew 2-2 with Tshibvumo Young Stars.

The Stream A champions, Matsakali Sky Rangers, are still to deposit a point into their account. They lost both their opening matches. They suffered a 0-3 defeat at the hands of Mukula Young Santos in their opening match at the Makwarela Stadium. As if that was not good enough to irritate the team’s enthusiastic fans, Sky Rangers were beaten 3-4 by Maweja Takers at the same venue later in the afternoon.

Mukula Young Santos are on top of Stream A. They collected the maximum points in their two opening matches at the Makwarela Stadium. After beating Matsakali Sky Rangers 3-0 in the morning, Mukula Young Santos continued to pave their way to the dream final by beating Seven United Brothers 4-2 later in the afternoon.

Joe’s Express shared the spoils with Seven United Brothers, with whom they played to a 1-1 draw. Maweja Takers registered a 4-3 victory at the expense of Matsakali Sky Rangers.
