The hosts played three matches and won them all, proving that being dominant on your home turf helps in the battle to secure maximum spoils.

In the first game, Toti’s U9 team faced off against Ballito Royals in a catch-up league match. Toti won 4-2.

In the GDLFA cup match, Toti’s U11 went head to head against Al-Fallah FC. Toti initially dominated the visitors, easily penetrating the defence and scoring five goals. It was only in the dying moments of the second half that Al-Falaah managed to score two goals in quick succession during the hosts’ lapse in concentration. The match ended 5-2 in Toti’s favour.

In another cup game, Toti’s U12 took on Ballito Royals, who scored first and led 1-0 at half-time. In the second half, Toti scored an equaliser, which caused the game to end at 1-1. The score forced the game into penalties, which eventually led to Toti winning 4-1.

The ball will get rolling again when schools open at the end of July.
