Casric Stars FC use the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium in KwaMhlanga as their home ground.
Despite being new in the league they have been on the rampage. They have managed to complete the double over the Limpopo outfit, Baroka FC.
They beat the Limpopo side 2-1 on November 9 during the first half of the race and recently on Sunday February 5 they completed the double over Bakgakga.
If Casric Stars can fight to win the league, they could gain automatic promotion and give Mpumalanga soccer aficionados another team in the top tier, the DStv Premiership, where they could join TS Galaxy.
