Stand aside Malandela Mighty Heroes’ U15, for the royal cats have arrived on the scene.
For a number of years, the Malandela Mighty Heroes U15 team has dominated this age category of Alex football, but the Alex Royal Tigers teenage group owner, Thembinkosi ‘Tiger’ Matholengwe believes his cats are ready to take over.
Matholengwe was speaking to Alex News on the backdrop of his successful defence of the U13 Alex League, which he won in his team’s maiden season in the league in 2015, and defended last year.
The successful defence of the championship was largely based on the fact that all the players who won their maiden season title were all eligible to play for a second season as a team and hence they managed to defend the title.
An upbeat Tiger has warned other teams to be on the lookout for his new U15s, who have been promoted en bloc from the two-time champions of the U13 league. “I believe they’re continuing to mature year after year, and they will be one of the teams to blaze the trail of Alex football in 2017 in the U15 league which has been dominated by the Mighty Heroes,” said Tiger.
In their new league category, the boys will be under the tutelage of seasoned former Rangers coach, Lee Ndhlovu, who takes care of the U17s as well.
