Co-coaches face tough derby clash after record ABC Motsepe League defeat
When they meet this weekend, more than just three league points will be on the line.
BOIPATONG.- Boipatong FC are facing a desperate struggle to save their season after suffering the heaviest defeat in the ABC Motsepe League so far.
The team crashed to a heavy 5-1 loss against SSU M-17 FC at Phillip Stadium on November 6, leaving them returning home in low spirits.
It has been a very tough start for Boipatong FC, who currently sit second from the bottom of Stream A with only two points from six matches.
Their problems are mounting quickly as they prepare for a crucial local derby against Ben 10 FC.
The much-anticipated match is scheduled to take place at President Park Stadium in Vereeniging on November 15, with kick-off set for 14:00.
Boipatong face an opponent coming off a major boost in confidence. Ben 10 FC secured a vital 1-0 away win against bottom side Lesco at Powerline Stadium on November 7. That victory allowed Ben 10 FC to bounce back from recent poor home form and collect maximum points on the road.
Both clubs are newcomers to the ABC Motsepe League after earning automatic promotion to the second division.
When they meet this weekend, more than just three league points will be on the line, with local pride and derby bragging rights up for grabs.
On the touchlines, Boipatong co-coaches Tshediso Tukane and Thabang ‘Vila’ Mphuti will lock horns with opposing manager Katloho Tau as Boipatong look to revive their troubled campaign.
