Get to the stadium to see Thanda march forward to glory

THANDA Royal Zulu will take the field at the uMhlathuze Stadium this afternoon full of confidence as they prepare to dismantle second from bottom NFD side Magesi.
A win on the day will see them needing only two points from their four remaining fixtures, surely a done deal for automatic PSL promotion.
The other weekend fixtures certainly did Thanda’s cause no harm.
In a result that nobody could see coming, Stellenbosch thumped Mthatha Bucks 4-0 and in the process leap-frogged to second place via superior goal difference over Black Leopards, who edged out AmaZulu 3-2.
Still in with a good chance of making the play-offs are Witbank Spurs, who have a game in hand, and Royal Eagles.
Mbombela are having a decent run but may have left it too late.

 
Weekend results were:
Friday – CT All Stars 1 Pretoria Univ 0
Saturday – Black Leopards 3 AmaZulu 2; Stellenbosch 4 Mthatha Bucks 0;Royal Eagles 1 Real Kings 0; Mbombela 3 Santos 0; Witbank Spurs 3 Milano Utd 2; FC Cape Town 1 Jomo Cosmos 0.
But it’s the 3pm kick-off in Richards Bay on Sunday where local eyes will be focussed.
Surely the fans will stream through the gates in numbers to cheer on an Amabhubesi side that has had an incredible season that is close to being crowned with the ultimate success.
Only one defeat in 25 games is almost unheard of in football circles.
They have put away the most goals (42) and conceded the fewest (19), giving a positive goal difference of 23; again, a remarkable statistic.
