RANGERS, FLYERS ELIMINATED

MBABANE – Ingwenyama Cup regional phase finalists Rangers from Shiselweni Super League, along with former National First Division outfit Ubombo Flyers, are among sides that have bitten the dust in this exhilarating tournament.

All four regions are left with finals that will determine the four teams to battle it out for the main prize. The finalists in each region also stand a big chance to be part of the main Ingwenyama Cup in the event they scrap through in the play-offs. 

 
Railway United are in the Lubombo finals after beating hard fighting CPL 5-3 after penalties in an entertaining game played at Tambankulu Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The game ended 1-1 on regulation time after both teams missed hosts of scoring opportunities, failing to score the winning goal.

Siphofaneni-based City Warriors beat Ubombo Flyers 3-2 in a game played at Tambuti Stadium to set a date with Railway United in the final of the regional phase of Ingwemyama Cup in Lubombo.

Soccer fanatics will not be starved of football this festive. Tentatively, the Ingwenyama Cup launch has been set for Friday, December 8, 2017 with the eagerly awaited last 32 kick-off earmarked for the weekend of 15-17 of the same month.

The third edition of the exciting tournament, backed by Sincephetelo Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (SMVAF), has entered interesting times at regional level where six teams are to emerge for the last 32 knockout stages.

Tournament Public Relations Officer (PRO) Nkosilenhle ‘Makawosi’ Masuku had confided that the proposed date for the launch is December 8 with the regional finals the following day. Mbabane Swallows have won the past two editions, beating Royal Leopard and Young Buffaloes in the 2015 and 2016 editions, respectively. The face of the tournament is His Majesty King Mswati III.
