Ribeiro galloping ahead in awards race

With more than half of the Betway Premiership matches already played this season, I think we can start debating which player has stood head and shoulders above the rest.

The PSL Footballer-of-the-Season award is hotly contested, and it won't be any different this term.

This is due to the fact that fans always view the award through the lens of their own teams and not necessarily from the perspective of the player who has performed admirably.

Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams beat team-mate Teboho Mokoena and Iqraam Rayners, who was with Stellenbosch FC at the time, to the last award.

While many believed Williams deserved the accolade, Orlando Pirates fans still felt that Patrick Maswanganyi should've been a recipient of the coveted award, or at least scored a nomination as one of the three players voted for by premier division coaches.
