FUTURE Stars FC from the rural village of Khauoe in Ward 25, Matatiele, were crowned champions at the Mayoral Cup awards ceremony last Saturday, September 20. Matatiele Local Municipality awarded soccer and netball clubs for excellence in this year’s Mayoral Cup games.
The games were played from cluster level in April and later moved to quarter-finals, semi-finals and grand finals.
Future Stars FC, Matat netball team and Ingwe TVET College Ladies soccer team were awarded prize money and kits. Matatiele Local Municipality mayor Patrick Stuurman said that this year’s mayoral cup awards ceremony was more than celebrating sports excellence but served as a reminder that sport can unite communities. He said sport can build discipline and nurture future talents.
