The Eastern Cape teams playing in the Hollywoodbets Super League had a hard time at the beginning of the season but what is pleasing recently is that they seem to be finding their feet.
Up until now, many teams have played 24 and 25 matches. The Thunderbirds Ladies from Butterworth are in ninth place – a position they are not exactly new to. Meanwhile, City Lads from Gqeberha is sitting in twelfth place. It is good for City Lads fans because it is promising after staying at the top half of the Super League for a long time.
There are signs that City Lads can end the season in a decent position. And the Thunderbirds have a chance to do better than last season. For this to happen, they must win all the remaining games.
The Thunderbirds Ladies camp are in high spirits after beating First Touch FC by 3-0 in last weekend’s match. They are going to the important game with that momentum. The Butterworth team will meet Vasco Da Gama in the Hollywoodbets Super League game scheduled for 3pm on Saturday afternoon.
Although all teams are struggling to get points as the season ends, Thunderbirds should not face much difficulty when they face a team just above the teams facing possible relegation at the end of the season.
On the other hand, City Lads, who had won two games in a row, played against JHB FC on Wednesday and they played a two-all draw. In the next game, City Lads will face Coastal City Wizards.
The game will be difficult because City Wizards are behind City Lads in terms of points. This means that the teams will go into the game looking for one thing – three points.
