Stats should have earned me awards nominations: Sundowns' Rayners
Soccer 'For me, the best player in the league was Lucas, I think I'm second after Lucas' 29 July 2025 Iqraam Rayners of Mamelodi Sundowns. Image: Richard Huggard Mamelodi Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners admits being disappointed after he was overlooked for nominations for the Premier Soccer League Awards. Rayners had an outstanding campaign in his first season with Sundowns after joining them from Stellenbosch FC, contributing 14 goals and nine assists in 26 matches as he helped the club win their eighth successive Premiership title. He was not nominated for any of the awards despite having an impressive season and feels he deserves to be among the nominees.

'The coaches believed in me, so I was disappointed when I saw the players nominated. I think my stats from last season were good enough to be in a lot of nominations.'

Grey triumph in muddy battle against Framesby
Grey High ' s effective line-out maul rose to the occasion in the nick of time when they averted a fourth straight loss to Framesby with a 19-15 win in a pulsating King Price Derby Series schools rugby clash on the Kolisi Field on Saturday. Played in incredibly muddy conditions with rain pouring down at stages, the visitors were devastated at the end as they agonisingly failed to pull off another memorable win after taking the lead for the first time in the match in the 63rd minute with a try by flank David Matyani. This came after an ambitious Grey move to run the ball broke down in midfield and the ball was kicked ahead for Matyani to win the race to glory. Jaiden Brewis ' s conversion made it 15-14 to Framesby with the final whistle looming, but the Grey team kept their composure to force their way into their opponents ' territory. A penalty in their favour and a kick into the 22 set them up for another driving maul. Framesby had failed to hold them in this department in the first half and again their cohesion and power were just too much, allowing flank Cody Wilmot to cross for his third try. With just three minutes remaining, Grey won a line-out from the kickoff and again produced a devastating driving maul, taking them about 40 metres downfield and ending in another penalty. Though Framesby stole the ball from the final line-out, they were pegged deep in their territory and there was no way for them to get back into the lead. The conditions prevented the match from being a spectacle, but there was no doubting the courage and passion of both sides as they fought for supremacy on a slippery field. Grey scored first through Wilmot from a line-out maul, Tristan Kemp adding the conversion, but Framesby made it 7-5 at the break when hooker Luke Didoft dived over after a series of forward drives close to the Grey line. Three minutes into the second half, Wilmot returned the compliment as it became Grey ' s turn to apply the pressure to go out to a 14-7 lead. Brewis landed a penalty with 10 minutes to go and soon after that they went ahead through Matyani, only to be denied by a final, determined Grey effort. In Kariega, Brandwag powered to a 62-3 victory over Muir to secure the Tinara Cup which the two sides compete for along with Daniel Pienaar. With one match to play against Daniel Pienaar, Brandwag have already done enough (two wins over Muir and one against Daniel Pienaar) to seal the title as the 2025 champions. Conditions in the Nelson Mandela Bay metro and surrounding areas were less than ideal for rugby, with rainy and cold conditions persisting throughout the afternoon. This saw Pearson and Graeme College slog it out in a 10-10 draw, while, in a freezing Humansdorp, Nico Malan had too many guns for the visiting DF Malherbe team, winning 50-5. — Additional reporting by

Untidy handover costs Bayanda Walaza golden treble in student games finale
Double sprint champion Bayanda Walaza had to settle for the 4x100m silver on Sunday afternoon as South Africa wrapped up their World Student Games campaign by claiming three last medals at the weekend. In the morning rowers Kat Williams and Courtney Westley secured silver in the women's pair, winning the country's only medal outside swimming and athletics. And javelin-thrower Jana van Schalkwyk took bronze in the women's event on Saturday night with a distance of 56.73m. The nation ended seventh on the medals table with six gold, five silver and eight bronze, though they finished fourth on the athletics medals table and fifth in the swimming standings. An untidy final handover from Mthi Mthimkulu to Walaza cost the Mzansi flyers as they ended second behind Korea in the final athletics event of the showpiece. Walaza, the 100m and 200m champion at the Universiade, went into the relay expected to make it three sprint golds, but just when it seemed they were going to make it, the South Africans came unstuck. Kyle Zinn, fifth in the 100m, got off to a good start, with Retshidisitswe Mlenga and Mthimkulu advancing the baton at the front of the race.
