Reigning
champions Bantu took advantage of a poor LDF side and Lioli’s inactionthis
weekend to move to the top of the Vodacom Premier.A Matšo Matebelecomfortably beat LDF 3-1 in Mafetengto leapfrog
both LDF and Lioli into first place.
Bantu now have
21 points, onepoint ahead of LDF and two ahead of Lioli and sit atop the
leaguefor the first time this season.

| Bantu back on top... |
While Bantu
will be delighted with their weekend work there should be concern in the LDF
camp. Sohle-Sohle are now winless in
three of their last four games. Theyhave suffered defeats to Lioli and Bantu
and played to a goalless draw with LCS. And, after leading the standings rather
comfortably at the beginning of October, LDF have in recent weeksexposed the
vulnerabilities that have dogged them inrecent years.
Sohle-Sohleare good
enough to beat the rest but habitually come up short against the other big boys.It’s
a major reason LDF have been unable to end their league title drought which now
stretches back to 2004.
There were
only three matches played this weekend because of the national team’s travels
last week. In one of the other gamesplayed, newly-promoted Kick4Life continued
their commendable start by beating LMPS 2-0 on Saturday. The win lifted
Kick4Life into fifth place while Simunye
dropped to the bottom of the table.
In Maputsoe,
Nyenye Rovers and Qoaling Highlanders played to agoalless draw that did little
to enhance either side’s prospects. Rovers are 11th with nine points while
Qoaling are second from bottom, two points adrift of Nyenye.
