Chances are good for the Limpopo Province to have a second team campaigning in the Castle Premiership League come next season.

Two teams from the province have booked places in the Mvela Golden League Platinum play-offs that will start over the last weekend of this month. Three teams from the Mvela Golden League will be joined by the team that will finish the Castle Premiership League programme in the 15th position in the play-offs. The champions in the play-offs will accompany Free State Stars to the Castle Premiership League.

The Stars from the Free State Province gained automatic promotion by finishing their league programme on top of the Mvela Golden League log. The final matches for the Mvela Golden League were played last weekend. The two Limpopo teams that will battle it out for a place in the Castle Premiership League are Winnerspark and City Pillars.

Winnerspark are in the second position on the log while City Pillars finished their programme in the fourth spot. The team from the University of Pretoria obtained the third position. The three Mvela Golden League teams will be joined by either Amazulu or Benoni Premier United in the platinum play-offs.

Two teams that were initially earmarked to partake in the platinum play-offs, Dynamos and FC AK, did not live up to people’s expectations. FC AK missed the target by inches as they finished their league programme in the fifth spot on the log. Dynamos are in the fifth position.

The draw for the playoffs will be conducted on May 21 and the matches will start on Saturday, June 2, while the final will be played on June 24. The matches will be played on a two-led format at the venues of the participating clubs.
