The Germiston City FC teams played their first games of the season on April 5, at the Germiston City Sports Club.
The age groups, from the club, that took to the field were the u-8, u-13, u-15, u-17A and u-17B.
The various age groups played against the Old Spring Boys, Old Bens, Leondale, Katlehong Stars and Future Stars sides.
The juniors played well and made the club proud with the number of wins.
The u-17B team, however, lost their match of the day.
It was a well-played game and Germiston tried their best, but Future Stars proved to be a bit stronger and bagged a 6-2 win.
Germiston City FC’s senior sides also showcased their skills when they played against Old Parks’ senior first and reserve sides.
With their pre-season training having started at the beginning of the year, the Germiston teams were eager to battle it out on the field, and the blood, sweat and tears they went through during their immense training was evident and rewarded.
The first league game for the first side, against Old Parks, ended in a 5-0 win for Germiston City.
The senior reserve side were victorious against the Old Parks reserves, with a closely fought 2-1 win.
Although it is still early in the season, their performance boosted their morale for the rest of the season.
“This was a very good start to the season in the ELFA Super League 2 and I can only predict great results in the season ahead; we do understand that there is still a long road ahead, but we are ready and up for the challenge,” said the media liaison for Germiston City FC, Peter Oliver.
