Pelfa teams looking to continue runs

- Mogan Segadavan

WESTPARK and Shamrocks, who are both on a roll, will be hoping to continue their fine form in the Pelfa Old Buck Legends League tonight.

Westpark, who are unbeaten in their last three matches, scored their first win of the season last week, beating NMB Municipali­ty 1-0.

They host Mahle Old Grey at the Londt Park Sports Club and, considerin­g the form of both clubs, will start as favourites.

Shamrocks will be hoping to make it three in a row when they play log-leaders Hearts at the Westbourne Oval.

Two weeks ago, the Malabar outfit ended Kuyga Masters’ reign at the top of the log when they held them to a goalless draw.

African Leopards became the logleaders, but their reign was shortlived when Shamrocks ended their unbeaten run with a 1-0 victory.

In what could turn out to be the match of the evening, Leopards play Callies at the Victoria Park Sports Club.

Priory could pick up at least a point when they play the erratic NMB Municipali­ty at the NMMU South Campus.

Should Hearts slip, Kuyga could become the log-leaders, as they should have the beating of PE City at the Victoria Park Sports Club.

Fixtures:

Hearts v Shamrocks (Westbourne Oval), PE City v Kuyga Masters (Victoria Park Sports Club), African Leopards v Callies (Victoria Park Sports Club), Priory v NMB Municipali­ty (NMMU South Campus) Westpark v Mahle Old Grey (Londt Park Sports Club).

THERE were goals galore in the Zwifa Ntando Tours Premier League over the weekend, with 30 scored in seven matches.

Hungry Lions had a feast, thrashing Major Chiefs 7-2.

Zwide Pirates, who finished as runners-up to Golden Aces last year, beat Swartkops 4-2.

Aces are now campaignin­g in the Safa-NMB SAB League.

Real Crusaders thrashed Gal City 4-1.

In a very close match between the two teams making their debut in the league, Zwifa Mayoral Cup winners Young Brothers beat Strikers United 1-0.

Results:

Shooting Star 3 Zwide Celtics 1, Kuyasa United 1 Manchester City 3, Gal City 1 Real Crusaders 4, Zwide Pirates 4 Swartkops 2, Hungry Lions 7 Major Chiefs 2, Sophakama 2 Young Killers 0, Strikers United 0 Young Brothers 1.
