Excitement swept through the Dr

Beyers Naudé Local Municipali­ty last weekend as football enthusiast­s gathered to witness thrilling matches played by 20 clubs affiliated with the Local Football Associatio­n League. From Aberdeen, Jansenvill­e and Graaff Reinet, the region buzzed with football fever.

At the Masizakhe Stadium, Eleven Attackers clashed with Real Madrid in a high-octane encounter, emerging victorious with a 4-2 win. Prior to that, Birds United soared to victory against Academy with an impressive 5-0 scoreline. Meanwhile, Dangerous Darkies unleashed their prowess against Destroyers FC of Aberdeen, securing a commanding 4-2 triumph.

Despite Masizakhe Stadium being the preferred playing field, its facilities face constant vandalism, posing challenges for the teams. Neverthele­ss, undeterred by setbacks, the teams are already gearing up for the upcoming annual Easter weekend tournament, eyeing substantia­l prizes. In light of the stadium's plight, tournament organisers urge the community to take pride in the facility and join hands in its restoratio­n.

With collective effort, the stadium can be restored to its former glory, ensuring a vibrant sporting hub for future generation­s.
