The Boksburg North first match of the year in the Ekurhuleni North Football League for police officers had to be postponed due to bad weather.
Boksburg North’s away game against Etwatwa SAPS on January 10, is now scheduled to take place on January 17.
According to the team’s chairperson, Sergeant Bhuti Kunene, the team’s spirit is looking good.
“I believe we are excited and ready for the league,” said Kunene.
Boksburg North was previously in the East Rand Football SAPS League but decided not to be part of it following an incident at a game against Katlehong North SAPS on September 6.
Kunene explained one of the Katlehong North players received a red card in the first half but helped to score a goal early in the second half even though he was not supposed to be on the field.
Boksburg North forfeited the game.
General secretary of the East Rand Football Association, SA Mbatha, said Boksburg North should have lodged an official complaint instead of walking away from the game. He highlighted the team has walked away from games in the past.
