Cape Town-based duo Steve Barker from Stellenbosch FC and Cape Town City’s Hugo Marques, together with Thabo Matlaba of Royal AM, have won the last monthly awards of the season, the DStv Premiership Coach, Player and Goal of the Month of May.
Barker, who guided his side to an impressive fourth-place finish in the recently concluded DStv Premiership season, saw his side go through May unbeaten with impressive wins over champions Mamelodi Sundowns and city rivals Cape Town City and holding out Swallows FC, Maritzburg United and SuperSport United to draws.
Angolan Marques crowned his impressive debut season by taking home the DStv Premiership Player of the Month to add on to his Goal of the Season award. During May, Marques kept four clean sheets in City’s five outings, which hugely contributed to The Citizens’ securing a place in the CAF Champions League.
Thabo Matlaba won the DStv Premiership Goal of the Month award thanks to his superb strike in his side’s 2-2 against Orlando Pirates last week.
Matlaba’s goal will now be added to the list of all the monthly goals that are in contention for the DStv Premiership Goal of the Season award. The voting of the DStv Goal of the Season award, to be voted by fans and the public on www.psl.co.za, will open later today and will close on June 10.
