\"Tuks,
Tuks, with wins in both of their matches on Sunday, bagged six points to move up to third in the GWDL u16 standings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The u16 Gauteng Women’s Development League (GWDL)<\/strong> delivered another exciting day of action at the Panorama Football Club<\/strong> in Roodepoort on Sunday, with some sides strengthening their challenges for the title, while others, at the wrong end of the standings, struggled.<\/p>\n

With nine weeks remaining, Mamelodi Sundowns<\/strong> continues to lead the way in both the u16 and the u14 divisions of the GWDL.<\/p>\n

In the u16 age group, ‘Downs are seven points clear at the top, with 45 to their name. JVW<\/strong>, who are known for giving the Brazilians a tough time, are in second place, on 38 points.<\/p>\n

The battle for third is tight, with Tuks<\/strong> holding down that position, on 35 points, while Remember Elite Sport Academy (RESA) <\/strong>lies fourth, only one point adrift, on 34.<\/p>\n

Tuks, under the guidance of coach Tania Oliveira,<\/strong> enjoyed a successful Sunday of football, securing all six points available to them.<\/p>\n

They defeated the hosts, Panorama FC, 2-0, with Rorisang Matjeding,<\/strong> and Maemu Rasivhaga<\/strong> scoring for the Pretoria-based club. In their second match, against Kempton Park<\/strong>, Tuks maintained a clean sheet and won 3-0, with Vhugala Netshithothole, Tshiamo Kekana,<\/strong> and Zanokuhle Nkosi<\/strong> finding the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Tuks’ versatility was on show as their five different goal scorers attested to their ability to score from anywhere, rather than rely on a single goal threat.<\/p>\n

RESA, on the contrary, was held to a 1-1 draw by Panorama FC. However, RESA’s coach Simeon Lekhooana,<\/strong> known Coach Solly,<\/strong> oversaw a much better performance from his charges in their second outing against Tornado FC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

RESA secured a 4-2 victory – with Thuto Rathebe<\/strong> netting twice, Madika Motloung<\/strong> also scoring, and Tornado giving up an own goal – which gave the team from Vereeniging a three-point haul.<\/p>\n

JVW was on cruise control in their sole outing. They overpowered Football Origin<\/strong>, romping to an 8-2 victory. Sundowns also won comfortably in their game, beating Tornado FC 4-0.<\/p>\n
