GWDL scores soar as JVW shines
Sunday’s action in the Gauteng Women’s Development League (GWDL) delivered high scoring, with a total of 21 goals being scored in only six matches.
JVW topped the scoring charts with a decisive 7-0 victory over Highlands Park. It was particularly disappointing result for Highlands Park, who suffered a heavy defeat on their home ground.
JVW delivered an exceptional performance, keeping a clean sheet while being efficient on the attack.
The big defeat was a sizeable setback for Highlands Park. They’re currently third in the standings, but, following a series of recent adverse results, the gap between them and the title contending Mamelodi Sundowns and SAFA Academy has grown.
Sundowns, meanwhile, scored a 5-2 win over Dinoko Rondebult at Dan Kutumela School. The Brazilians top the standings, four points clear of second-placed SAFA Academy.
Kempton Park narrowly defeated Hellenic Falcons 1-0, while Edenvale defeated Kenneth FC 2-0. Refilwe FC also won by a 2-0 margin, beating Tornado FC at Scelo Stadium.
Remember Elite Sport Academy (RESA) went down 0-2 against SAFA Academy. Recently, SuperSport Schools Plus conducted a brief interview with RESA’s coach, Simeon Lekhooana, during which he acknowledged the threat posed by SAFA Academy.
With RESA recently elevating several key players, including Lesedi Motaung, from their GWDL team to their Sasol team, they were unable to withstand the strength of the SAFA Academy challenge.
