Wet weather conditions made way just enough for a bunch of soccer lovers to come together for an afternoon of fierce competition with some fun in between as well.
The Eagles 5’s finals were held on 13 November at the Ruimsig Country Club, with the Mighty Buffaloes team managing to win the gold men’s final with a very close 6–5.

The Mighty Buffaloes played 26 games without defeat while the PSG team played 27 games, also without a loss.
Botha added that some of the teams have been a part of the club for almost four years.
The game kicked off at around 6pm with five players of each team looking ready to win gold. The match was tightly contested from the beginning, with it not being clear of which team would take the win.
It was a fast-paced game as each player was required to work that much harder in defending the ball and also doing their part to help score a goal.
After the finals, Botha said that it was a very intense game with only one point separating the teams.
