The Gauteng Women’s Development League (GWDL)<\/strong> witnessed a high-scoring weekend, with Mamelodi Sundowns<\/strong>, once again, leading the way.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, a week after the Brazilians<\/strong><\/em> stuck 10 past Highlands Park<\/strong><\/a>, they tallied double figures once more, although their victims on this occasion, Edenvale FC<\/strong>, managed a goal in response as ‘Downs<\/strong><\/em> cruised to a 10-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Only 10 games into the season, Sundowns has already netted 70 times while conceding just 12 goals. They have suffered a defeat, though, going down to SAFA Academy<\/strong> earlier in the season.<\/p>\n

SAFA Academy is tied with Sundowns on 27 points. Not surprisingly, though, given their goal-scoring rate of seven per game, Sundowns tops the league table on goal difference.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, SAFA Academy faced a stern challenge from JVW<\/strong>, but they came through it with flying colours, recording a 2-0 victory.<\/p>\n

After a disappointing 0-0 draw with Edenvale FC<\/strong> the previous weekend, Panorama FC<\/strong> returned to winning form against the struggling Sporting CP<\/strong>, picking up a 2-0 win.<\/p>\n

Another team that needed to regroup on Sunday was Highlands Park, off the back of the hammering they had endured at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns. They found Kempton Park FC<\/strong> far more to their liking and secured three points after a 5-2 victory.<\/p>\n

Refilwe FC<\/strong> and the University of Pretoria (Tuks) <\/strong>more than lived up to the promise of an exciting Pretoria derby, producing nine goals between them, with Refilwe FC sneaking a 5-4 win after an entertaining clash.<\/p>\n

At President Park Stadium<\/strong>, in Vereeniging, Remember Elite Sport Academy (RESA),<\/strong> playing on their home ground, bagged a comfortable 4-0 win over Tornado Academy Ladies.<\/strong><\/p>\n
