With the knockout Gauteng Women’s Development League (GWDL) Top 8<\/strong> competition done and dusted a week earlier, the GWDL league season kicked off on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Mamelodi Sundowns<\/strong>, despite a stiff challenge from the South African Football Association (SAFA) Academy<\/strong>, won the u17 division in 2025, and they showed that they remain the team to beat with a winning start to their campaign.<\/p>\n

While Banyana Ba Style<\/strong><\/em> cruised to three points with a comfortable 3-0 win over Kenneth FC<\/strong>, their counterparts from Pretoria, the University of Pretoria (Tuks)<\/strong> and Refilwe<\/strong>, also secured all three points in their respective matches.<\/p>\n

Tuks faced the newcomers, Black Diamond Sports (BDS)<\/strong>, and matched Sundowns with a 3-0 win. Daniella Human<\/strong> initiated the scoring, then netted her second goal with an assist from Landela Gogontle<\/strong>. Zanokuhle Nkosi<\/strong> completed the scoring with a stunning free kick.<\/p>\n

Refilwe surged to a big 6-1 victory over Hellenic Falcons<\/strong>, with Thando Mndaweni<\/strong> striking twice and Dineo Kgomosotho, Titelo Modika, Linamandla Bahlehle<\/strong>, and Mbali Madondo<\/strong> also getting their names on the score sheet.<\/p>\n

In other matches, Panorama<\/strong> claimed a hard-fought 2-1 victory over JVW<\/strong>, while TS Galaxy<\/strong> and Chadi Puse Ladies<\/strong>, both newcomers to the league, shared the points after concluding their match in a 1-1 stalemate.<\/p>\n

In the u15 division, Tuks continued their u17 counterparts’ winning momentum with a 7-0 victory over BDS. Human, who netted twice for the u17 team, ran wild for the u15 side. She put Tuks ahead with an assist from Buhlebendalo Mahlalela<\/strong>, but that was merely the first of five goals.<\/p>\n

Her second was a lone effort, while Vuxongi Makumbia<\/strong> set Human up for her third. Then, Nthabiseng Mahlangu <\/strong>laid on another opportunity, which Human converted to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n

Mahlalela, who had assisted on the opening goal for Tuks, also found the net herself, with help from Sinokubonga Sibanyoni<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Pretoria side’s sixth involved Human, this time as a provider, while Mahlalela provided the finish to bag her brace.<\/p>\n

Fittingly, the seventh and last goal of the match was netted by Human, who slotted after being set up by Kamogelo Tlhako<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Refilwe also put on an exceptional performance in the u15 division, outplaying Hellenic Falcons 4-0.<\/p>\n

Kgothatso Babedi<\/strong> spearheaded their effort with two goals, while Ziyanda Khalipha<\/strong> and Mbali Madondo<\/strong> each contributed one. Just like Human of Tuks, Madondo also played in the u17 match and scored a goal.<\/p>\n

Panorama continued their winning streak by defeating JVW 3-0, while Sundowns clawed their way to a close 2-1 victory despite a strong challenge from Kenneth FC. TS Galaxy was a 2-0 winner over Chadi Puse Ladies.<\/p>\n

In the u13 division, JVW began their title defence with a 3-0 victory against Panorama, which made them the only team to beat Panorama on the day.<\/p>\n

Mamelodi Sundowns grabbed the spotlight, though, with a one-sided 14-0 victory over Kenneth. Chadi Puse Ladies also picked up an easy three points, but theirs came by way of a walkover victory over TS Galaxy.<\/p>\n

Refilwe ran out 5-1 winners over Hellenic, with Owam Zihlangu <\/strong>and Lesedi Masilela<\/strong> netting two goals each, while Tekana Kekana<\/strong> contributed the fifth.<\/p>\n

Tuks, whose teams maintained a flawless winning record similar to that of Sundowns, won 4-0 against BDS.<\/p>\n
