The 2022 Hollywoodbets Super League is back in full swing after taking a break due to the TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations that took place in Morocco from 2-23 July – and action continues on Women’s Day around the country.
After playing just one match after the WAFCON recess, defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies will be missing from the league as they will be participating in the CAF Women’s Champions League|COSAFA Zonal qualifier in Durban.
This will perhaps be an opportunity for the rest of the field to collect as many points as they can and even be at the summit of the table.
The Tshwane University of Technology has already taken advantage of the situation as they dislodged their neighbours from the top position with 31 points – just one ahead of Sundowns.
TUT will be hoping to increase the gap when they travel to the Motshioa Stadium in the North West to face Golden Ladies who have not had a very good start in the new season.
Third-placed JVW FC will be also be watching the proceedings with a keen eye when they welcome bottom of the table Tsunami Queens at the Wits Sturrock Park Stadium in Johannesburg.
Thunderbirds Ladies will be hoping for a safe flight when they tackle Ma-Indies at the Giyani Stadium, while First Touch FC and University of Johannesburg FC will do battle in Polokwane, with Bloemfontein Celtic Ladies hosting City Lads Ladies at the Mpumalanga Stadium in Hammersdale. All those matches kick off at 15h00.
Two other fixtures have been scheduled to start early.
Coal City Wizards will entertain Vasco da Gama at the Puma Stadium in Witbank while the University of the Western Cape travel to KwaZulu Natal for a date with Durban Ladies.
Both matches are set to kick off at 13h00.
Richmond United get a bye as Sundowns Ladies is out of circulation.
