LIMPOPO – KCE Masters and United Masters FC have emerged as champions of the Mopani Masters League in Streams A and B, respectively.
KCE secured their Stream A title with a 2-0 victory over Julesburg Masters at the Mafarana Sports Ground over the weekend. Meanwhile, United Masters clinched the Stream B title with a narrow 1-0 win over Matlule Masters on their home turf.
The top nine teams from each stream will now advance to the league playoffs, scheduled to take place on June 22 and 29 at Nkowankowa Stadium. The overall league champion for both streams will be crowned on June 29.
KCE Masters captain Lloyd Mtebule expressed pride in his team’s achievement, especially considering the team was only established in May last year.

“We’re excited to win Stream A. Our goal now is to claim the overall league title. The boys are working hard to bring the trophy home,” said Mtebule.

“We’re taking the trophy, no doubt about it. There’s no real competition in the league for us. We’ve beaten KCE in all four of our previous encounters, so they know what’s coming,” said Rikhotso.
The overall champions will walk away with a R30 000 cash prize, along with medals and a trophy.
