Chilli Boys chipper about their league race THOMAS CAROLUS Chippa United secured their place in the Absa Premier League play-offs when they came back from a goal down to beat AmaZulu 2-1 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday afternoon. It was a result that ensured the Chilli Boys have a say in their own destiny, with a chance of survival via the promotion/relegation play-offs. “We’ve done everything we could,” the Chippa United coach Mark Harrison said. “Our last six games, we’ve won three and
drew three and I don’t think you can ask for more. “In the end that’s only enough to take us to the play-offs but with the confidence and the character in that squad, we’ve got every chance of staying in the PSL now.’’ Chippa United will now join the second and third placed National First Division clubs in a three team league style competition that will decide who the 16th team is in next year’s Absa Premier League. Harrison added that they will now go all out to win the play-off and retain their status in the top flight league, with the Englishman
banking on their form and experience to keep them in the top league. Usuthu took an early lead through Bongani Ndulula, but the Cape based side replied after the break through two well taken penalties from substitute Brent Carelse. The opening goal arrived in the fourth minute when Njabulo Manqana burst into the box from the left before forcing a low save from Tashrique Goldman; Issa Sarr then tried to clear the lines, but Ndulula was able to deflect the ball into the net. However, the Cape side came back into the match three minutes into the second half
15
when they were awarded a penalty as William Twala was brought down by Tapuwa Kapini in the box. Carelse who had come on for Welcome Qalanto at half-time, stepped up to take the spot kick and calmly slotted the ball into the bottom right corner, sending Kapini the wrong way. The visitors were then awarded another penalty in the 75th minute. Carelse took the responsibility again and tucked the ball past a diving Kapini and into the bottom right corner of the net to secure maximum points for his side.
Girls also enjoy a game of rugger
The girls of Northerns RFC from Elsies River are making their mark in women’s rugby and involving local schools in their programme to introduce the sport to youngsters in the area. They recently received some support from a local business who has donated kit to the junior teams. Jodeleen Esau, from Norwood Primary, tries it out while, standing from left, is Nicolia Wynand from Cravenby Primary, Candece Williams from Elswood, coach Lillian Fredericks, Danny Gertse from the sponsors GVG Building and Civils, Sherlin Williams and Shannon Plaatjies, both from Elswood.
