Stellenbosch one win from winning promotion to the Premier Soccer League
Sunday will see the culmination of the National First Division regular season‚ with much to be decided at both ends of the table.
Stellenbosch FC have led the division almost from the start this season‚ but a wobble in the final third of the campaign has seen their once commanding lead cut to two points. So a 0-0 draw for the Cape Winelands side and a 3-0 victory for Eagles would leave the teams with exactly the same records in terms of points‚ goal-difference and goals-scored. That would leave them needing to be separated via their head-to-head record‚ which would see Stellenbosch on top after they won both league meetings this season.
But complicating the situation is the fact that the PSL has appealed against the verdict of its own disciplinary committee that essentially gave TTM a slap on the wrist for not fielding the required number of under-23 players in a recent victory over TS Sporting. It seems the PSL wants a harsher sanction‚ most likely a points reduction‚ which could change the scenario drastically. The matter is before an arbiter.
