Orbit College claim pole position as Milford win two successive games
Orbit College claimed pole position in the Motsepe Foundation Championship after defeating Pretoria Callies 1-0 at TUT Stadium on Saturday.
The North West-based side has had an impressive start to the 2023/24 Motsepe Foundation campaign following their promotion from the ABC Motsepe League at the beginning of the season.
Orbit College won six games in the NFD, drawing one while losing just once and they are sitting comfortably at the summit of the log with 19 points.
Elsewhere, Milford beat the struggling Venda FC 2-0 at Princess Magogo Stadium on Saturday. This was a second successive victory for Milford after they brushed aside Casric Stars at Giyani Stadium on the 7th of October.
MILFORD FC HAD A POOR START TO THE SEASON
The KZN-based outfit had a poor start to the season which saw them sack head coach Asanda Mvalo.
Milford won two games, drew two, and lost four times. They occupy 9th position on the league table with eight points.
Meanwhile, Marumo Gallants and Upington City FC could not be separated after playing to a 1-1 draw at Isak Steyl Stadium on Saturday.
City’s new signings Keletso Makgalwa and Joseph Mhlongo got their debuts after being signed a few days ago on free transfers.
In addition, Magesi FC moved to the second place in the second tier despite playing to a goalless draw against Platinum City Rovers at Old Peter Mokaba on Saturday in the Limpopo derby.
Magesi accumulated 15 points after winning four games, drawing three, and losing once with eight games played.
