Woodview double success

-

THERE were double celebratio­ns for the Woodview United under-13 side after the SAFA-Phoenix outfit achieved a league and cup double for the second consecutiv­e season.

In addition to winning the PSF KO Cup and their age group division, Woodview United went through the league campaign undefeated.

“Defending the league and KO Cup for the second consecutiv­e year was great, and the cherry on the top was winning the league unbeaten,” said coach Anesh Deepchand who focused on a basic developmen­t programme for the club’s juniors.

He added that their under-9 and under-11 sides performed reasonably well, and that the under-15 unit took third spot in their league.

A boost for the club is that they have adopted the Woodview grounds from the Parks and Gardens department. The facility regularly hosts the SAFA-Phoenix under 7, 9 and 11 games. The ground and the surroundin­g area will be under the control of Woodview United in conjunctio­n with Parks and Gardens, said Deepchand.

The club is already planning ahead for next season. Players from under-7 to under-17 who wish to join the club next year can contact Jay Govender on
