CHRIS Hani District Girls’ football club, Cumakala Ladies’ FC, is ready to take part in this season’s Sasol Women’s League play-offs.
The Wezo Ndiki-coached side earned the right to compete in the Provincial play-offs after finishing third in the 2019 Sasol Women’s League Inland Stream with 25 points from 14 games.
The Eastern Cape Sasol Women’s League play-offs are set to take place on Saturday at the Jan Smuts Stadium in East London.
The fixtures will determine the Eastern Cape Sasol Women’s League top eight and the overall winner who will represent the province in the national play-offs this December in Gauteng.
The play-offs will be played according to the SAFA uniform rules of competitions.
The Cumakala Ladies outfit will play against Port Elizabeth side, Sophakama Ladies’ FC, for a third place position in the province at 11:00.
Cumakala Ladies’ chairperson, Fundile Jacobs, is happy with the state of the team even though they are playing under difficult conditions.
“We are happy with third place. The team played well this season and hopefully we will continue with that form in the play-offs.
“Our players are based in different places and that makes it difficult to prepare the team every week, but that does not stop the girls from working even harder,” Jacobs said.
Jacobs also said they would love to finish third in the province when they face Sophakama Ladies.
“It is not our first time playing against Sophakama. We have beaten them before, but we will be playing against a different side this time. We would love to finish the season with a win and finish third in the province,” said Jacobs.
