All Division 1 (bar Rietvlei) and Division 2 fixtures scheduled for today have been suspended due to extreme weather conditions and waterlogged pitches, making play unsafe and unsuitable.
These matches have been rescheduled and will now be played on 1 April. Further details regarding kick-off times and venues will be communicated in due course.
The three-way battle at the top of Division 1 continues to intensify. With Joburg City resting this round, both Highlands Park B and Global United took full advantage.

Old Parks remain in the lead, but Leeds now sit four points behind with a game in hand, keeping the pressure firmly on the leaders. The equation is simple: Old Parks must win their next match to secure the title, while Leeds must hope their rivals drop points and then win their remaining two games.
Further down the table, Florida moved into third place after a 9–3 victory over Randfontein. Warriors recorded a 3–0 win against Panorama, while Old Parks 2 and Rush played out a 1–1 draw.
