‘Y’ELLO’ CARROT CHASE CLIFFHANGER

MBABANE – Two security forces teams will headline the weekend, as they are 90 minutes away from claiming the MTN Premier League E100 000 carrot prize.
As the curtain falls on the MTN Premier League first round, the top spot is still undecided, with reigning champions Royal Leopard and the rampaging Green Mamba locked in a fierce battle. Both sides sit at the top with 28 points, separated only by goal difference. Their final showdown promises to be a nail-biting contest, with the coveted crown and a lucrative prize purse at stake. The Ernest Mavuso-led side cemented their position with a 2-0 victory over struggling Mbabane Highlanders, while Edwin Matsebula’s outfit cruised past Manzini Sea Birds with a comfortable 3-0 win. Nsingizini Hotspurs, who won their derby match against Rangers 2-1, leapfrogged Mbabane Swallows, who lost 0-1 against Young Buffaloes.
