| The A-Division is reaching its final stages... |
Swallows will be
looking to take one step closer to the Econet Premier League when they host
second-placed Manonyane in Mazenod on Sunday.
Maswai-swai are top
of the first division’s South Stream with 29 points from 12 games. They are nine
points clear of second-placed Manonyane in the race for the stream’s lone
promotion spot to the Econet Premier League.
It means a win
on Sunday could all but secure Swallows’ return to the top-flight for the first
time since 2011.
The Mazenod outfit
would be 12 points clear of Manonyane – who have looked the team most likely to
spoil Swallows’ party – with just five matches to play.
At the other end
of the South Stream, Rovers will be desperately looking for three points when
they host Machokha at the Machabeng Stadium in Roma on Saturday. Rovers are rooted
to the bottom of the table with just one point from 12 matches.
However, even
with their horrendous record, there is still hope of avoiding relegation for
Rovers because Qoaling Highlanders, in the safety of ninth place, are only four
points ahead of the Roma side.
In the North
Stream, the promotion race is a tight three-way battle with Galaxy, Litšilo and
Ketane separated by just a point at the top.
Galaxy lead the
way with 24 points from 12 games, but they are only ahead of Litšilo on goal
difference with Ketane in third with 23 points.
This weekend all
three have winnable home ties on paper.
On Saturday, Galaxy
host CCX at the Maputsoe DiFA Stadium while Litšilo welcome Butha-Buthe
Warriors to Pitseng. On Sunday, Ketane face Mphatlalatsane in Maputsoe.
With the margin
for error so small in the race for the North Stream’s sole promotion ticket,
none of the top three can afford a slip-up this weekend.
