This weekend marks the starting point of the league programme for the teams affiliated with the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League. Three matches will be played on Friday afternoon, with the remaining nine scheduled for Saturday.
Munaca FC will start the new season with a home match against Vondwe XI Bullets at the Makhado Show Grounds on Saturday. Bullets will face a tough challenge if Munaca’s performance in their Nedbank Cup games is anything to go by.
