The Industrial Soccer League (ISL) rounded off their six month long league at Hattingh Park, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The league, registered under the South African Football Association (SAFA), comprises players from eight different companies from Elandsfontein and Jet Park.<\/p>

“This is a league aimed at East Rand-based companies,” said ISL chairman William Shwayiba.<\/p>\n

“One of the main reasons for the league is to unite companies and promote their brands through sports.”<\/p>

Shwayiba said another element that contributed to the birth of the league is the aim of keeping the youth off the streets.<\/p>\n

“The player’s ages range from 18 to 50, so, together with keeping the youngsters off the streets, we want to keep men fit and try to alleviate illnesses,” he said.<\/p>\n

Although the league started only this year, there are talks of another league next year.<\/p>\n

“The league was successful and I think this will be an annual league, we, thus, encourage and reach out to other companies from the East Rand to come and register their teams,” explained Shwayiba.<\/p>\n

With eight teams battling it out on the field the league had supporters crying and celebrating.<\/p>\n

A prize-giving ceremony was held later that day; Quadrant were crowned the 2014 champions, with 40 points overall; Al-Clad trailed behind with 24 points, while Joy Global were third, with 22 points.<\/p>\n
