Shalulile wins top gong as Downs dominate awards

With the PSL announcing 2021/22 award winners on Sunday night, it was no surprise that Mamelodi Sundowns were well represented, as Peter Shalulile headlined the night by being named Player of the Season and Player’s Player of the Season for the second year running.

Sundowns completed the treble on Saturday when they won the Nedbank Cup, adding to the MTN8 Cup and the DStv Premiership. In the Nedbank final, the Namibian was on target, taking his season’s tally in all competitions to 30. 

His teammate Andile Jali was another big winner as he scooped the MTN8 Last Man Standing, Nedbank Cup Player of the Tournament, and DStv Premiership Midfielder of the Season categories.

The DStv Premiership Coach of the Season award went to Mamelodi Sundowns co-coaches Manqoba Mngqithi and Rhulani Mokwena.

SuperSport United’s Luke Fleurs walked away with the DStv Premiership Young Player of the Season award. At the same time, Lyle Lakay (Mamelodi Sundowns) and Hugo Marques (Cape Town City) won the DStv Premiership Defender and DStv Premiership Goalkeeper of the Season awards, respectively.

University of Pretoria’s Keegan Allan took home the Nedbank Cup Most Promising Player of the Tournament category.

Orlando Pirates youngster, Boitumelo Radiopane, grabbed both the DStv Diski Challenge Player of the Season and DStv Diski Challenge Top Goal Scorer awards after scoring 24 goals in the 2021/22 season.
