NRB jinxed in freakish finish
After a goalless first stanza, the home side scored early in the second period and with the game already in time added on, that appeared to be that
RICHARDS Bay FC slid into the relegation zone after a last gasp loss to Witbank Spurs at the Puma Stadium on Saturday.
After a goalless first stanza, the home side scored early in the second period and with the game already in time added on, that appeared to be that.
But the NRB boys fired in one of their own in the 94th minute through Michael Roelf, seemingly sharing the spoils and earning one valuable point.

However, directly from the resumption if was Spurs who netted again from a debatably offside position to secure a 2-1 win – a cruel loss for Jean Losciuto’s jinxed men.
This is now their sixth defeat by a solitary goal, to go along with nine draws. It can’t get any more unlucky.
With only five points separating six sides at the bottom of the NFD log, Richards Bay are third from last and will need to turn things around as a matter of urgency, starting this Saturday when they take on mid-table Tuks at the uMhlathuze Stadium.
