University of Johannesburg FC produced one of the standout performances of the day, recording a convincing 3-0 win over Mamelodi 11 Stars Ladies. UJ’s attacking quality and control allowed them to dominate the contest and finish the afternoon with a comfortable victory.

Kaizer Chiefs Ladies also walked away with maximum points after overcoming Young Achievers FC 2-0. Chiefs kept their opponents at bay while finding the back of the net twice, demonstrating their ability to manage the game and secure an important away win.

There was a much tighter contest between Emmarentia Pirates FC and JVW FC, with the two sides sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw. Neither team was able to find the decisive breakthrough, ensuring both walked away with a point from an evenly contested encounter.

The round also featured Future Stars Ladies FC and Blue Birds Ladies Football Academy, adding to another busy Saturday on the women’s football calendar.

With the season continuing to gather momentum, the latest results highlight just how important consistency will be. Every point matters, and teams will be looking to carry their performances into the next round as the battle for position intensifies.
