31 August 2021 – After six rounds of matches played, JVW and Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies are leading the pack in their respective streams of the 2026 Hollywoodbets Super League Amplified.
The South African women’s football premier festival rolled into the Eastern Cape province this past weekend with four matches on offer in the SuperRise stream.
JVW dropped valuable points when they were held to a goalless draw by UJ Ladies in a tough encounter played at the Davidson Stadium in Alice, leaving the former three points ahead of the University of Johannesburg (UJ Ladies).
In other matches, University of Fort Hare (UFH), Ezemvelo Ladies registered a 1-0 victory against a winless City Lads Ladies, who are also yet to score a goal since the start of the season.
Newcomers Ramatlaohle won the Limpopo Derby as they defeated neighbours First Touch Ladies by the same margin, while the Varsity Derby between the UFH and TUT Ladies ended in a goalless stalemate.
In the SuperEra stream, played last weekend, defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies were not in action as they were involved in the COSAFA Women’s Cup which was a CAF Women’s Champions League qualifier. The Brazilians lifted the trophy in Botswana and will represent COSAFA in the continental club championship later this year.
In their absence from the Hollywoodbets Super League Amplified festival, Copperbelt Ladies received a bye, but three other matches took place at the Sol Plaatjie University in Kimberley, Northern Cape.
TS Galaxy Queens cemented their second-place spot in the SuperEra Stream with a hard-fought 2-0 win over bottom of the table Stellenbosch FC, who are yet to collect any points or goals after six matches played.
The University of the Western Cape (UWC) – which will host the next festival – managed a 1-0 win against new kids on the block Diepkloof Ladies, while Richmond United Ladies and the University of Pretoria shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw.
Banyana Ba Style, who have a match in hand, and return to local football this week, are two points ahead of TS Galaxy Queens in the SuperEra section.
