JVW were the biggest winners in Week 20 in the Hollywoodbets Super League when they beat a hapless City Lads Ladies 9-1 in the last match-up of the weekend.
After a break due to the Hollywoodbets COSAFA Women’s Championship in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, JVW played like a well-oiled machine as they beat an out of sorts City Lads at the Tuks Stadium in Pretoria.
Interestingly, the Eastern Cape side was the first on the scoresheet in the 11th minute through Snazo Ntshota – and that’s where it ended for them.
Banyana Banyana’s Gabby Salgado scored a double brace (17’ 28’ 56’ 57’) captain Nompumelelo Nyandeni led from the front with a hattrick (31’ 77’ 86’). Lerato Makhanya and Erin Herz chipped with the two goals.
JVW led 4-1 at the break.
The result sees the Blue Diamonds climb into second spot on the table at the expense of the University of Western Cape who held the reigning league champions Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies to a 1-1 draw.
UWC is the only team to have defeated the Brazilians this season, following their 2-0 victory in the first round.
Banyana Ba Style lead the table with 46 points, two adrift of JVW, while UWC is fourth on 38points.
TUT netted late to collect all three points against Thunderbirds Ladies to move to third spot on the log standings on 42 points.
Busisiwe Ndimeni grabbed a brace (25’ 89’) in the match at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in East London.
Another big winner on Week 20 was Golden Ladies from the North West Province – they notched their first victory in the league as they defeated Coal City Wizards whom they hosted at the Montshioa Stadium.
After 20 outings, Golden Ladies still sit at the basement of the table on six points, and continue to flirt with relegation.
They have drawn three matches and lost 16.
The University of Johannesburg’s visit to De Aar in the Northern Province yielded negative results as they returned home empty-handed after losing 2-3 to Richmond United.
