| Sefotha-fotha can take a step closer to the Vodacom Premier League with a win over Likila United... |
Weather-permitting
it will be a busy weekend in the A-Division as the league reaches its climax.
In the North
Stream, log leaders Sefotha-fotha can take a giant step towards the Vodacom
Premier League with a win over Likila United on Saturday. Sefotha-fotha are
nine points clear of second placed Galaxy.
Mathematically, Sefotha-fotha
(with 32 points) only need 11 more points to guarantee promotion to the
top-flight because the highest points total another team can reach is 42 by third-placed
Lerotholi Polytechnic who currently have 21 points but have played two games
less.
Sefotha-fotha will
be hopeful of collecting three more of those points they require when they face
second from bottom Likila in St. Monicas.
With things as
they are, the game of the game of the weekend in the North is, therefore, the tertiary
derby between Limkokwing University and Lerotholi at Ratjomose on Sunday.
Lerotholi simply have to win keep alive any hopes of winning promotion, especially
if Sefotha-fotha secure a win against Likila.
The third side
in the North Stream race is Galaxy. However, with a nine-point gap deficit to
Sefotha-fotha and no games in hand, promotion is now out of their hands.
Nevertheless, a win looks on the cards this weekend for Galaxy as they host
bottom side Roaring Lions on Sunday.
Things are much tighter
in the South Stream with Van Rooyen, Majantja, Swallows and Roma Boys all in
the hunt for promotion to the Vodacom premiership. Even sixth-placed Manonyane
are not completely out of the race.
Van Rooyen lead the
way with 24 points from 12 games, followed by Majantja (21 points) and Swallows
(20). All three teams are left with six matches. Roma Boys are fourth with 18
points but have played a game less.
The game of the
weekend in the South is the clash between leaders Van Rooyen and Roma Boys at
St Theresa in Roma. Roma Boys need all three points to give themselves control
of their promotion destiny. A loss would seriously dent the Roma side’s promotion
hopes and maintain Van Rooyen’s good run of form. The Mafeteng side has won
three games on the spin.
Another crucial
game will take place at Kick4Life on Saturday as fifth-placed Qoaling
Highlanders host Majantja in second. A win for either team would maintain their
dreams of the top-flight, a loss potentially fatal.
Elsewhere, third-placed
Swallows have a long trip to Qacha’s Nek to face Melele on Sunday. The Mazenod
side know they have to win to keep themselves in the hunt for promotion to the
Vodacom Premier League.
