The weather has wreaked havoc on the schedules, with the 2025 season kicking off under challenging circumstances. Over the past two rounds, only two games have gone ahead as planned, leaving teams eagerly awaiting normalcy. The postponed matches have been rescheduled, with catch-up games set for January 29 and February 26.

In the limited action so far, Sundowners delivered a strong performance in Division 1, defeating Randburg 2-0. Meanwhile, Randfontein impressed in Division 3 with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Florida.

Here’s hoping for clearer skies and a return to regular programming next week!

The committee has decided that in light of the fact

1. Most fields are still closed this week and only open next
2. Heavy rainfall resulting in waterlogged fields

NO MATCHES will commence this week and ALL fixtures for the 8th Jan will be pushed out to the 29th Jan and will reflect on the fixture timetable as such. The ref convener will be alerted. The 2025 season will now officially start next week, 15 Jan, you can begin to prepare for that now instead.

Thank you

The unpredictable weather wreaked havoc across the fields, resulting in only a handful of matches being completed.

Division 1 saw two unexpected outcomes: Sundowners 2 defeated Global 3-1, while Joburg City stunned Sundowners with a 3-1 win. This game propelled Joburg City to the top of the division standings.

In Division 2, Rietvlei and Rush splitted the points, while Old Parks secured a 3-1 win over Lenasia, claiming the top spot in the division.

Meanwhile, in Division 3, Florida edged out Warriors 4-2, climbing to the summit of the league table.

In Division 1, Flying Eagles and Joburg City shared a point after the game was suspended due to lack of power. Sundowners FC, however, rebounded strongly from last week’s defeat, securing a solid 2-0 victory over Sundowners 2.

Division 2 saw Lenasia deliver a dominant performance, beating GPMI 8-0. Leeds and Old Parks both won their first games, with Leeds edging Rietvlei 3-2 and Old Parks beating Rush FC 3-0.

In Division 3, Warriors continued their impressive run of form, overpowering Panorama 5-2. The other matches were closely contested draws: Randfontein and Randburg finished level at 2-2, while Florida and Old Parks 2 played out an exhilarating 4-4 stalemate.

The Summer League is finally underway, bringing an exciting kickoff to the season!

In Division 1, reigning champions Sundowners fell to former champions Global in a nail-biting 1-0 showdown. Elsewhere, Joburg City edged past Randburg in a thrilling 4-3 encounter, while Sundowners 2 overcame the newly promoted Flying Eagles with a 3-2 victory.

Division 2 was hit by uncooperative weather, limiting the action to a single game as Lenasia and new contenders Rietvlei played to a balanced 2-2 draw. The remaining two matches have been rescheduled for December 4th due to pitch availability.

Division 3 saw visiting teams dominate, as Florida clinched a narrow 1-0 win over Panorama in a game briefly interrupted by lightning. Randburg beat Old Parks 2 with an impressive 7-1 victory, and Warriors secured a solid 4-2 win on the road against Randfontein.

With winter finally behind us, it’s time to kick off the Summer League!

This year, 18 teams will compete across three divisions of six teams each. Each team will play ten matches, with every game counting toward division standings and eventual league titles.

To accommodate scheduling needs and ensure fair play, we’ve introduced a “catch-up” round every three rounds, allowing teams to complete any missed games. This round helps manage field availability issues and ensures that no team faces a double-header this season.

Once league play concludes, the Champions League Cup makes its long-awaited return after a winter hiatus. Teams will be divided into two groups of three, with each team playing both home and away fixtures. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semifinals, leading to an intense final showdown. Depending on their performance, teams will compete in a minimum of four and a maximum of six matches for the cup title.

Good luck to everyone!
