With four rounds of league action remaining, SA Cup front-runners Griquas and the Pumas will target their next matches to put distance themselves from their rivals.
The teams from the Northern Cape and Mpumalanga each have 25 points from winning their five games, with the men from Kimberley sitting in top spot thanks to a better points difference.
The last encounter of the weekend, on Sunday afternoon in Welkom between the Griffons and the Valke, will wrap up the sixth-round action, with the SA Cup final – between the top two sides on the log on Saturday, 25 May – moving into view for the participating teams. The Cheetahs ended on the losing side in a thrilling Free State derby against the Griffons in Welkom last weekend, and the men from Bloemfontein will be targeting an immediate response against SWD in George on Saturday. However, Zane Kirchner’s Eagles are equally determined to offer the Free Staters a stern test at picturesque Outeniqua Park.
