Three points for Boyne Tigers

 

A goal by Jerry Seabi in the 29th minute was good enough to give Boyne Young Tigers three vital points at the expense of Sekhukhune Arsenal in their SAB League promotional play-off match at the Giyani Stadium on Sunday.

The game was equally contested from the onset. The referee, Mr Jelly Chavani, gave Release Monama a tongue lashing in the ninth minute. Monama ignored the referee’s whistle and kicked the ball away long after the whistle had been blown for an offside.

Arsenal had their first regret in the 14th minute. They were awarded a free kick just outside the box. The free kick led to a heartbreaking scramble within the box, but Sello Makena shot wide from inside the box. His team’s fans did not forgive him for the blunder he committed as they continued to boo at him throughout the game.

Boyne Young Tigers refused to die in the 24th minute. This after the Arsenal striker, Petrus Makola, tried his luck from the 25-meter area. The ball did not have enough power and a defender of Tigers, Frank Mathebula, cleared it from the goal line.

The goal that earned Young Tigers three vital points was the product of good communication between the midfielders and the strikers. Although both sides effected some changes later in the last half, the complexion of the game did not change.

Boyne Young Tigers lost 0-1 to A1 Terrors in their deciding game later that afternoon, the result which saw Terrors together with the log leaders, Bilika All Stars, gain promotion to the Safa Second Division.
