Hattingh Park played host to a SAB Castle League fixture on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The league, that started in September, saw Kathorus Football Club go up against Shumba Football Club.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Both teams played well, with the first goal scored by Shumba FC in the first half.<\/p>\n

Shumba\u2019s victory lasted until the break, after which Kathorus scored an equaliser just one minute into the second half.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The two rivals put out robust defence lines, ensuring that the affair ended in a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were relegated from the Vodacom League to this league, but the team has been performing well, which is great because we want to get back to the Vodacom League,\u201d said Kathorus FC\u2019s general manager, Kwezi Masono.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the greatest challenges we have been faced with is the inconsistency of the players.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would come and go, which put massive strain on the performance, but we have been stable these past couple of months, which is a good sign.\u201d<\/p>\n

The local team was formed almost two years ago, but Masono told the GCN that they are looking to expand.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment, we have only this one team, but we are looking to expand to a proper academy with more players and teams,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome new players at the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team will also be taking part in a tournament from December 16 to 30, at different venues in Thokoza and Katlehong.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll teams are welcome to take part in the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are great cash prizes to be won and the age groups range from u-13 to senior teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
