Can the Stars shine over Samba Girls?

After donating league points to Shayandima Morning Stars, to whom they lost 0-3 in their Sasol Women’s League match at the Guvhukuvhu grounds last Sunday, Tshandama Young Stars have another mountain to climb this weekend. They will host Samba Girls at the Tshandama Grounds tomorrow. Young Stars must win the match in order to enhance their chances of escaping the relegation axe at the end of the season.

The other Vhembe District-based side, Chippas United Ladies, will play in front of their home crowd. They will host Re Tla Dira Ladies at the Makhuvha Stadium on Sunday. Chippas are not safe when it comes to relegation. They shared the spoils with Samba Girls at the Raliphaswa grounds, following their goalless draw. Chippas’ playmaker, Maggie Mukhuwana, will be available for selection on Sunday after watching the game against Samba Girls from the sideline due to suspension.

Shayandima Morning Stars will travel to Botlokwa, where they will test their strength against Botlokwa Ladies at the Sefene High School Grounds. Morning Stars will pin their hopes on Munei Nemuramba, Dolly Mnisi and the team’s captain, Lindelani Ndou, for goals.

The pace setters, Maindis Ladies, will entertain Mandebele Happy Fighters at the Capricorn FET College grounds. The other league title chasers, Kanatla Ladies, will host Moria Sweepers at the Nylstroom Hoërskool Grounds. Should they fail to collect the maximum points against Moria Sweepers, Kanatla will have to forget about winning the league championship.

University of Limpopo and Real Mighty Ladies will fight for league points at the Oscar Mphete Stadium in Turfloop. First Touch Academy will have a date with Mphanama Ladies at the Ladanna grounds in Polokwane. Sisters FC are waitingto face Seven Stars Ladies at the Nwamitwa Grounds.
