Sundowns still unbeaten as we move into Round 12 of the GDL
The Mamelodi Sundowns u19 team remain unbeaten as the Gauteng Development League moves over to the 12th round of fixtures.
Schools sports continues to take center stage across South Africa and one of the leading sports tournaments in the country, the Gauteng Development League, has been at the forefront of it all.
The country was in awe yesterday as one of the GDL products, Vicky Mkhawana, stole the show in South Africa u17’s 3-2 victory over Zambia in the Africa Cup of Nations u17 tournament.
The star is one the many youngsters who compete in the GDL week in week out, and on occasion even feature in the senior competitions in the country.
One of the rising stars in the tournament has recently captured the attention of one of the top football clubs in the world – England’s West Ham United.
Vuyo Buthelezi dons the white and navy blue of the Wits Junior Academy and he might just travel to England to be part of the West Ham United Academy.
His Wits Junior teammates, though, will be competing this week in the GDL as they host School Of Excellence in Pretoria on Saturday.
The race is to topple the log-leading Mamelodi Sundowns u19 who remain unbeaten in the tournament thus far.
The ‘Ka Bo yellow, Masandawana’, as Mamelodi Sundowns football club are famously called, have a solid structure that runs from the ground up.
The senior team has already won the DSTV Premiership and are also dominating African football year-in, year-out.
They are setting the standard for all African football clubs to follow.
Their u19 team follows the same winning culture. They currently sit top of the log despite being one match behind.
Kaizer Chiefs u19, School Of Excellence u19, Highlands Park u19 and Randburg FC u19 all make up the top five on the log standings.
The main questions is – who will hand Mamelodi Sundowns its first loss of the season?
