Durban City Close In On Betway Prem Return

Durban City are just one point away from gaining promotion to the Betway Premiership after a 3-2 win over Black Leopards while Leruma United suffered relegation from the Motsepe Foundation Championship with a game spare.

The KwaZulu-Natal-based outfit scored three quick goals but were almost pegged back despite taking that huge lead after 66 minutes. Lidoda Duvha responded with two quick goals to make it 3-2 but that was it as City held on.

ORBIT College scored one goal in either half to make it 2-0 and officially qualify for the promotion playoffs. They are three points behind Durban City but will need to score seven goals and hope that City lose in their last game.

Leruma have been relegated after just one season in the Motsepe Foundation Championship after they could only play to a 1-1 draw against Milford FC which was not enough to save them from relegation.

Cape Town Spurs have the last game at home to save themselves after a 1-1 draw against Hungry Lions, while Pretoria Callies survived after a 2-1 win over Baroka FC.

Results:

Durban City 3-2 Black Leopards
Leruma United 1-1 Milford FC
JDR Stars 0-2 ORBIT College
Venda FC 1-1 Casric Stars
Pretoria University 0-2 Upington City
Hungry Lions 1-1 Cape Town Spurs

Baroka FC 1-2 Pretoria Callies
