There were a lot of positional changes on Week 10 of the Hollywoodbets Super League as results favoured some and did not go positively for others.
Perhaps the most significant movers was University of the Western Cape (UWC).
The Capetonians are now in second position on the table after winning the varsity battle when they defeated a stubborn University of Johannesburg (UJ) 2-1 in Bellville.
The visitors led one nil at the break but Noxolo Cesane grabbed a brace as she helped the home side collect all three points.
In five matches, UJ still has to register a win against UWC.
In the 2019/20 season, the Blues won 6-1 and 2-0, and the following season UWC won 1-0 in the first round while the spoils were shared in the reverse fixture in a 1-1 draw.
With the latest victory, UWC is now on 23 points, four behind log leader Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies who also ran amok as they scored four with no reply from First Touch FC at the Baroka Village in Lebowakgomo.
New recruit Miche Minnies bagged all four goals – becoming only the second player in the league this season – after her teammate Andisiwe Mgcoyi – to net a double brace in one match.
The former Vasco da Gama forward helped herself to a brace on either side of the half – 25th, 35th, 65th and 72nd.
Masandawana has now bagged an impressive 46 goals in 10 outings – an average of 4,6 goals per match.
They are now on 27 points.
Bloemfontein Celtic Ladies broke the hearts of JVW FC with a smash and grab victory at the Sturrock Park Wits Stadium when they scored in referee’s optional to register a 1-0 victory against the hosts.
Siwelele sa Masele last minute penalty goal saw them climb a level up and they are now in fourth position with 19 points, just one behind the Blue Diamonds who dropped to third place following the loss.
This was JVW’s second defeat in a row.
Elsewhere, there was finally joy for newcomers City Lads Ladies as they recorded their first win of the season, 1-0 against the Tsunami Queens at the Isaac Wolfson Stadium in Qgeberha.
The Eastern Cape side is in 14th place with five points – three above the winless Queens and bottom-of-the-table Golden Ladies.
Ma-Indies defeated Golden Ladies 3-1 in Montshioa, North West, as the latter suffered their eighth loss in ten outings.
With the victory, Limpopo’s Dikgoshigadi moved two places to fifth on the table with 17 points, level with UJ FC, who dropped from fourth to sixth on the log standings.
The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) travelled to Cape Town to face newly-promoted Vasco da Gama and returned victorious 2-0.
They also climbed one place up to seventh with 13 points.
At the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium, Durban Ladies brushed aside the visiting Richmond United in a 3-1 win – which was good enough to help them move from 12th position to ninth, while the Northern Cape outfit dropped four places to 10th.
This was Durban Ladies’ fifth win of the season in nine outings, as they still have a game in hand along with TUT, Vasco and City Lads.
Thunderbirds Ladies ran out 3-2 victors over Coal City Wizards in Witbank.
A total of 24 goals were scored, with only four teams failing to find the back of the net.
