National First Division round-up

 

Sport  Date: 12 April 2012

 

While it was time for many players to enjoy a relaxed Easter Weekend, it was business as usual for the teams affiliated to the National First Division League.

Dynamos continued to drop league points. They could not absorb the pressure from African Warriors and lost 1-3 at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in the Free State. Dynamos are now lying in the third-last position on the log.

Blackburn Rovers missed their chance to move to the top of the log when they suffered a 0-1 defeat at the hands of FC Cape Town. Leandre Tawanda scored the winning goal for the team from the Mother City in the 78th minute. Rovers are placed second on the log with 41 points, two behind the log leaders, the University of Pretoria.

On the other hand, University of Pretoria, or Amatuks as they are affectionately called, were unexpectedly held to a goalless draw by FC AK.

The former Kaizer Chiefs fast forward, David Radebe, continued his good form when he scored a brace against Sevutsa Stars, who scored through Thabo Rakhale and Matho Ndoda.

Chippa United kept their title hopes alive when they brutally walloped Atlie FC 5-1. Chippa’s goals came via Petros Ngcobo (2), Andile Mbenyane, Joshua Souls and Sibusiso Nhlapo. Atlie FC’s solitary goal was scored by Jeffrey Maluleke.

After losing their last three matches in a row, Vasco da Gama finally beat Carara Kicks 3-1.

In Richards Bay, Thanda Royal Zulu shared the spoils with Bay United, with whom they drew 2-2. Witbank Spurs beat Mpumalanga Black Aces 1-0.
