Eight women's social football clubs will take part in the fourth edition of the Goi Grill five-a-side tournament scheduled for June 27 in Kumakwane.

The clubs are drawn from Mmankgodi, Kumakwane, Gabane and Thamaga and they include Kumakwane Masters, Peace Lovers, Legends S.C, Bring Da Money, Hupa O Buse, Matswakabele, Habarata and Mangwanda Plain.
