The Reds beat Orapa United 1-0 in an entertaining final played at the National Stadium. A last minute goal from striker, Thatayaone Kgamanyane was enough to hand the title to the team after surviving a scare from Orapa United’s endless attacks throughout the match.

The Reds are now the most successful side in the knockout competition and they have now qualified for the CAF Confederations Cup.
