Motsepe Foundation Championship Cape Town Spurs have announced a “groundbreaking sponsorship agreement” with Albany Bakeries for the next three years.
The Urban Warriors have had a torrid 2024/25 campaign so far, winning just two out of their 12 opening league fixtures, and are now hovering with just one point above the relegation drop. On Friday, Spurs suffered yet another defeat, going down 1-0 to JDR Stars to slip into 14th spot
