Muduluni Young Chiefs were crowned as the new champions of Limpopo Dairy Mageu KO. The competition was played under the auspices of the Makhado Local Football Association (MLFA).

The final match was played at the Ravele grounds last Wednesday. Young Chiefs beat Madombidzha Try Again 2-1.

During the presentation of the prizes, Mr Tobias Fourie of Limpopo Dairy said he decided to finance the competition because he realised the need for companies to assist sport at grassroots level. He said he was confident that other businesspeople would follow in his footsteps.

According to him, the sponsorship is a token of appreciation for the support of his business from the community. Fourie further stated that it was the policy of his company to give some of their profit back to the community and to the youth to enable them to be involved in sport.

The chairperson of Makhado Local Football, Mr Joseph Maphaha, thanked the management of Limpopo Dairy, saying that few businesspeople realised the importance of developing the community through sponsorships. He praised Limpopo Dairy for their decision to sponsor football. He stated that he was convinced that the MLFA would produce stars who would receive international recognition soon.

A total amount of R10 000 was shared among the teams. Mudulunbi Young Chiefs took home R2 000 and a floating trophy. Madombidzha Try Again, the runners-up, received R1 400.
