Kgatleng East teams gear for Independence tourney :: Mmegi Online

Kgatleng East’s top football teams will battle it out in this year’s edition of the Groot Marico Spring festival tournament, to be played at the Malolwane Young Stars grounds tomorrow.

Mogale Stone Breakers (Malolwane), Legends FC (Sikwane), Diamond Diggers FC (Mathubudukwane) and Mabalane FC will clash in this year’s tournament. The four teams qualified for the main tournament after winning mini-tournaments in the various villages. Speaking to Mmegi Sport on Friday, the event’s media relations officer, Anthony Rasetshwane said only players from the region play in the tournament and the aim is to unite the youth and promote unity.

The tournament also aims to raise funds for Madikwe Junior Secondary School (JSS) prize giving ceremony in 2016. “Madikwe JSS is the only secondary school in the region, so we found no better way of giving back to the community other than offering a helping hand in raising funds for the prize giving ceremony,” he said.
