BOIPATONG.- Boipatong FC and Young Pirates are first and second in the SAFA Sedibeng Hollywood Regional League log standings respectively.
These two sides played to a 3-3 draw in the exciting SAFA Sedibeng Hollywood Regional League during the Easter long weekend to consolidate their position on the log. This top-of-the-table encounter was played at the packed Boipatong Stadium, with local soccer fans packing the venue to capacity to watch this exciting encounter.
It was a six-goal thriller with both sides attacking each other from the first whistle to the last.
However, the home team, Boipatong FC, could have won this encounter as they created clear scoring chances compared to their opponent.
As things stand, Young Pirates are still topping the log standings with 68 points from 25 games, while Boipatong FC is second on the log with 58 points from the same number of games. This game will go down as one of the best matches in the calendar of local football. Both sides came into this encounter well prepared, and the draw was a fair result, looking at how the two played on the day.
It was football without fear, with the local soccer fans enjoying every moment of action from the stands.

To date, Young Pirates FC are the defending champions, and they look like they will defend their title as things stand.
This game took place at the Isak Steyl Stadium on Saturday.
It was supposed to take place at George Thabe Stadium, but was moved to Isak Steyl Stadium due to the funeral of Simon 'Bull' Lehoko, which took place at the venue. All the games that were supposed to take place at George Thabe Stadium were moved to other venues due to the funeral. This caused controversy as some of the teams felt that the games could have been postponed so that they could attend Ntate Lehoko's funeral.
