Benny´s Care have only themselves to blame for their failure to beat the younger Young Dolphins in the final of  the Madobedy tournament played at the Tshiozwi  grounds on Sunday.

The well-attended match ended 3-0 in the favour of Dolphins. Benny´s could have wrapped up the match during the first half, were it not for their strikers. Centre Cedrick Sekome squandered two obvious chances during the first 15 minutes. He received a neat pass from Mutshutshu Mbodi and shot wide with only keeper Hector Malange to beat. He again beat three defenders in a row before his shot went astray. The scoreboard was still blank at halftime.

It was not surprising when the Dolphins scored the first from outside the penalty area. Midfielder Andani Nenguda supplied a neat pass to find Fulu Thovhakale, who had no problem in putting the ball into the back of the net with a powerful shot. The shot gave Benny´s keeper, Doctor Mokoka, no chance.

Benny´s blundered by playing aerial balls from behind instead of cooling it down and dishing telling passes to their front runners. In the last 25 minutes of the match, the youthful team pulled out all the strikers and forwards in search of their second goal. Benny´s seemed like they were losing concentration at this point. Fulu Thovhakale scored the second goal of his team. The losing team should have reduced the score in the 80th minute, but striker Fredrick Mathebula’s shot went wide.
