Sekhukhune United keep pressure at the top despite ups and downs

SEKHUKHUNE

- OBAKENG MELETSE

United have had an inconsistent start to the Betway Premiership season, but despite the ups and downs, the team has shown enough quality to remain competitive among the league's top sides.Heading into the season, Babina Noko had clear ambitions and strengthened their squad with several new signings.

While they haven’t consistently met the high expectations set by their early performances, the team has demonstrated resilience and quality, keeping pace with the league's demands.

The race for the league title has been highly competitive, and with the Christmas break upon the teams, there is no clear frontrunner. Orlando Pirates have threatened to run away with the top spot, but their true test will come when the season resumes next year.

Despite recent struggles, Sekhukhune closed out the calendar year in a strong position, sitting third on the log, just one point behind Mamelodi Sundowns, with both sides having played 13 matches each.
