JVW, Sundowns and RESA lead the title chase: u16 GWDL week 2

Mamelodi Sundowns, Remember Elite Sports Academy (RESA) and JVW are setting the pace in Gauteng Women’s Development League (GWDL) after two weeks of action and four matches.

Each of those three teams has accumulated a perfect 12 points from their four outings, with goal difference all that separates the frontrunners on the log.

Mamelodi Sundowns, the defending champions, lead the pack, having netted an impressive 23 goals while conceding only two. During their exceptional start, they’ve showcased a well-rounded and powerful team.

On Sunday, at President Park in Vereeniging, Sundowns Ladies scored seven times and conceded only once as they accumulated another two victories. They cruised to a 4-0 win over Panorama FC and then triumphed 3-1 over Tornado FC.

Tornado FC had the toughest schedule of the day. After facing Sundowns, they took on another of the unbeatens, JVW, and were handed a 5-0 loss.

JVW, meanwhile, kept up their winning ways with an easy 7-1 win against the West Youth Academy 7-1. West Youth Academy scored again in their match against Kenneth FC, but it didn’t go much better, and they were beaten 5-1.

The hosts, RESA, fell from second to third place in the standings, but they still tacked on another two wins. Up against a tough Kempton Park team, they won 2-0. Then, they edged out Panorama 1-0.
