The top three teams were separated by three points each, with the second spot being decided by the last game where LSA (Langalibalele Sports Academy) Mambas won 4-2 against FDC (Future Development Academy) to dislodge Toti Eagles from the second spot.
Ncube said the top team, LSA Dolphins, did not have it easy as they had to fight tooth and nail against Toti Eagles in their last game, eventually emerging 5-3 winners and claiming the top spot on the log. “The off-season league winners walked away with gold medals and a trophy, with the second placed team also walking away with medals and a trophy for the player of the tournament,” he said.
