The much-awaited SAB League provincial promotional play-offs will be staged at the Mahwelereng Stadium in Mokopane this weekend.

The five teams from the five regions will compete in the two-day event. Boyne Young Tigers (Capricorn), United Artists (Vhembe), Schinord Chiefs (Sekhukhune), Arsenal (Waterberg) and Nkowankowa Barcelona (Mopani) will take part in the tournament.

United Artists were crowned the overall Vhembe champions after beating Rabali Pull Together 1-0 in the final for the regional play-offs at the Rabali Stadium three weeks ago. The boys from Lufule village will pin their hopes on their playmakers, Lucky Siobo and Thomas “Razor” Makhubele, while the team’s top goal scorer, Vutomi Ngomana, is expected to force the opponents’ defence to run for cover from the onset.

Artists' opening match will be against Boyne Young Tigers, with whom they will lock horns tomorrow (Saturday) at 11:00. Their second fixture is against Schinord Chiefs at 15:00. Their last two matches will be played on Sunday. They will test their strength against Arsenal FC, starting at 09:00, while their match against Nkowankowa Barcelona is scheduled for 13:00.

The top two teams at the end of the tournament will be promoted to the ABC Motsepe League.
