The landlords are back on top of the GWDL table

Mamelodi Sundowns has regained the club’s customary position at the top of the Gauteng Women’s Development League (GWDL) standings after defeating Refilwe 6-1 in a Pretoria derby on Sunday. That convincing victory knocked Refilwe from the top spot.

The defending champions of the u17 GWDL, Banyana Ba Style, hosted Refilwe at Chloorkop and made the most of their home ground advantage.

With the loss, Refilwe slipped to second place. Their next match, to be played at Curro Hazeldean on Sunday, is against JVW. It, too, will be a challenging clash, with JVW in third place after a big 7-1 win over TS Galaxy this past weekend.

The University of Pretoria (Tuks), another team that had been performing well, suffered a 1-2 defeat against Hellenic Falcons. That leaves them fifth in the standings, with 13 points, just behind Panorama. It was a good weekend for the Roodepoort club, who slammed 10 goals past Black Diamond Sports.

Panorama trails third-placed JVW and second-placed Refilwe on goal difference only. All three have 15 points.

Kenneth secured a 3-0 victory over Tornado Academy Ladies, with Dintshanelo Mazibe scoring two goals and Ntshepend Maqola netting their third. Kenneth has shown consistent improvement in recent seasons and currently lies sixth in the standings.

Unfortunately, for Remember Elite Sport Academy (RESA), they remain winless after suffering a 0-2 loss to Edenvale, which was preceded by a staggering 0-10 loss to JVW a week earlier.

It has been a difficult stretch for the Vereeniging club, which was expected to be among the top teams in the GWDL. After five matches this season, they have conceded 53 goals and scored only one.
