’DOWNS, LEOPARD IN #YELELE U-20 DECIDER

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

MBABANE – While the main final will be between Matsapha United and Young Buffaloes, Manzini Sundowns and Royal Leopard Under-20s will treat spectators to a perfect curtain-raiser.


More pressure is on the inaugural edition (2014) winners, Sundowns, who are in chase of their second title in four attempts. Following a brilliant run, keeping their backdoor shut; they look beyond the blue and white outfit.
In their four matches so far, Sundowns, who convincingly beat holders, Young Buffaloes, by 3-0 in the semi-finals, scored nine goals. On top of parading leading goalscorer, Muziwakhe Mahlalela, who has three goals, the outfit are under the tutelage of seasoned gaffer, Penuel Malinga, who steered them to the championship in 2014.


For Leopard, who boast gifted young forward Tony Dlamini, they are out to defy odds as they dangle underdogs nametags. With more pressure on the opposition, they hope it will work in their favour.
Up for grabs will be the E35 000 first prize money and a glittering trophy, while individual players are in chase of the ‘Golden Boot Award’, which carries a E2 000 ‘carrot’, among other accolades.
