Nonjabuliso leading WFL scorer

Kappa Ladies’ Siphesihle Dlamini prolific strikers from Young Buffaloes, Celiwe Nkambule and her accomplice Tenanile Ngcamphalala made a significant contribution to the 26 goals registered last week.

Brace

Amazed by the shower of goals after missing an entire season of football action, Eswatini Women’s Football Association (EWFA) Chairman of the Competitions Committee, Lucky Dube, predicted a thrilling season.

“It shows that the players were hungry for action. Well, some of the teams are too strong because their players were active in the national team and started a preseason training early. Buffaloes scored 10 goals against Mbabane Swallows and we hope to see most of the teams turning the corner this weekend,” Dube said.

On Sunday, Mbabane Swallows will face Green Mamba at the Eswatini Football Association (EFA)
