According to the RCFLA website, it is an association that “promotes, advances, administers, co-ordinates and generally encourages the game of football in Rand Central.” The area development programme for girls encourages the growth of girls’ and women’s soccer in the area.

The final day saw KZN and RCLFA play their hearts out in scorching heat. KZN U14 beat RCLFA U13s 6–1; KZN U16 played and lost to RCLFA U15s 6–1.

Listen to KZN U16 coach Nolwazi Nkabinde talk about the game.
