The Boksburg Football Club collected a crucial three points when they defeated Bedfordview Country Club (BCC) 2-1 in a top-of-the-table clash at the Boksburg City Stadium on May 15.

The victory also rewarded the Blues with some breathing space at the summit of the standings with 16 points collected from five victories and a single draw. They are now four points clear of BCC, who stayed on 12 points from the same amount of games.

Blues winger Dylan Fray gave the Blues a slight advantage going into the half-time break after he netted the only goal of the opening stanza.

With BCC equalising in the second 45 minutes, Boksburg’s star striker, Ernest Anwulobi, restored his side’s advantage with a little over 15 minutes to go until the final whistle blew.

The forward, who was included in the starting 11 despite carrying a knee injury, had to be substituted moments after scoring the decisive goal with the knee causing discomfort.
The home side hung on for the important win, which could go a long way towards the end of the season.
