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!
