Freddy Hlungwane Soccer Tournament draws a good crowd

The Zone 14 soccer ground in Bela-Bela was transformed into a mini carnival with spectators filling the venue to capacity.

This was during the annual Freddy Hlungwane Soccer Tournament hosted on Sunday 8 September.

The first match was between Bela-Bela Diesel ‘n Dust FC and Golden City FC from the Pretoria township of Soshanguve.

Golden City FC triumphed 2-1 over the locals.

In the second fixture Bela-Bela Soccer Academy FC ran riot over Bela-Bela Pirates with a runaway 6-0 score-line.

The final was won by Golden City FC after they beat Bela-Bela Soccer Academy FC 2-1.

Before the last game Bela-Bela Masters FC played a curtain-raiser against Bela-Bela United FC and won 2-1.

Hlungwane also played in the Masters games.

A live sheep was among the many prizes on offer.

Hlungwane said he was humbled by the support shown by the locals and visitors.
