SPORTS : WEEKLY ROUND UP

By Nyiko Magamana

This seemed to be the weekend that shattered dreams and kept hopes alive for others, In the Barclays premier league the relegation of two clubs was confirmed and Man City looked to have won their most important match of this season, while in the Nedbank cup, Orlando Pirates are on course to get some salvation from a forgettable season and Chiefs’ dream of getting any silverware this season got another blow.

The relegation of Fulham and Cardiff City was confirmed after they lost 4 -1 and 3 -0 respectively, both teams needed to get a positive result to stay in the relegation battle. And on the other side of the table, Manchester City beat Everton 3 -2 at Goodison Park to take the title challenge to the last day of fixtures.

Nedbank Cup

The Nedbank cup semis was the final stop for chiefs as they lost to Bidvest Wits 4-2 on penalties, goals from Sibusiso Vilakazi and Sthembiso Ngcobo for Wits and January signings Katlego Mphela and George Maluleka for Chirefs saw that the match go to extra time and eventually to a penalty shoot-out. Orlando Pirates may have something to smile about come the end of the season after they beat Maritzburg United 2-1 to reach the Nedbank Cup final.

With this being the penultimate weekend for most leagues, the next weekend is not one to miss. And for me personally as I am a Manchester United fan I will be happy to see the season end and will be extra joyous if Liverpool doesn’t win the league.
