The hot favourites, Mpheni Home Defenders.

Berea and Defenders in mayoral final

 

The Thohoyandou Stadium will be a hive of activity tomorrow. That is where the much-awaited final of the Vhembe Mayoral Tournament will be staged. Berea FC and Mpheni Home Defenders will meet in the dream final.

Home Defenders beat Tshakhuma RO Nandilani 2-0 in their semi-final match at the Rabali Stadium last month. Berea’s way to the final went via Tshivhilidulu Hungry Lions, whom they beat 4-3 in the semi-final stage.

The programme for the day will commence with a ladies soccer losers final match between Tshandama Young Stars and Chippas Ladies FC, which is scheduled to start at 09:00. Teams that were booted out in the semi-final stage, Tshakhuma RO Nandilani and Tshivhilidulu Hungry Lions, will meet in the losers final match in the men’s category soon afterwards.

The final in the ladies’ soccer category between Maindis Ladies and Shayandima Morning Stars is scheduled to commence at 13:00. The main match between Mpheni Home Defenders and Berea FC will kick off immediately after the final whistle of the game between Maindis and Morning Stars.

The champions in the men’s category will receive R30 000, gold medals and a floating trophy. The runners-up will take home R20 000 and silver medals, while the third-placed side will become R15 000 richer and will also receive bronze medals.

A cheque to the value of R10 000 is awaiting the team that will finish in the fourth position. Teams booted out in the quarterfinal stage will each receive R5 000. The remaining teams will each go home with a consolation prize of R2 000.

The ladies’ champions will take home R10 000, a floating trophy and gold medals. The runners-up will receive R5 000, while the third- and fourth-placed sides will be presented with R3 000 and R2 000 respectively.

Individual awards will be presented to the top goal scorer, best goalkeeper and the best player in the tournament.
