Undoubtedly the accolade for the best individual performance of last weekend?s soccer matches must go to 15 year-old Lovers of 1st division outfit Hot Fire.
He came off the bench to score three times to help his team to a 5-3 victory over City Leds, and is the youngest player ever to have played in the HESA first division.
A star in the making? Watch this youngster!
In other results, Hermanus United returned to winning ways, while unbeaten leaders Sweepers were held by Mighty Blues in a 0-0 draw, hardly surprising as each of these sides have conceded only 16 goals in their 19 matches. At the other end of the log, ZUBs scored a crucial win over struggling XI Defenders, while XI Sabham and bottom club XI Strikers drew.
In division 2, both leaders Morning Stars and second placed Amaviyoviyo could only draw with 3rd and 2nd bottom clubs Athletico and Junior Bucks respectively. With Shock Waves and Dangerous Darkies both winning, there are now four clubs in contention at the top. The form team is Darkies who have now won their last eight games.
The loss of two points wasn?t the only blow suffered by Morning Stars who also had their goalkeeper red-carded for verbal abuse of the officials following Athletico's late equaliser which Stars complained was offside.
· The division 1 match of this coming weekend is on Sunday at 15:00 when Sweepers take on Young Stars. Stars are the form team of the division being unbeaten in their last 9 games and have taken 25 of the 27 points on offer during this run and they will be very anxious to become the first team to beat Sweepers this season. They might well succeed.
Division 2 sees the top 4 teams playing against each other. On Saturday at 12:00, Amaviyoviyo take on Shock Waves and on Sunday at 16:30 Morning Stars face Dangerous Darkies. Things don't get much better than this!
