The teams squared off at Currin Park and it was vital that coaches Kenneth Watts’ and Mark Henderson’s team put a halt to the Germiston team brimming with confidence after scoring 27 goals in their first three games.
The Old Bens defence, however, had other ideas and put in a valiant shift to restrict their opposition in a match that ended at 2-1, in favour of the Benoni team.
Bens’ goals came from Carlos da Fonseca and Keagan Bailie.
The coaches thanked the supporters for their diehard support and praised the team for a strong display.
- Meanwhile, another Benoni team, Benoni Cedars Football Club’s u-15 SAFA Ekurhuleni League team, cemented their status as table toppers in the league, with a 5-0 win over second placed Katlehong Stars Academy, on Saturday, May 3, at the Huntersfield Stadium, in Katlehong.
