Another undeserved loss for Richards Bay FC
Richards Bay FC supporters pinched themselves when they woke this (Thursday) morning, hoping the 1-0 loss to Lamontville Golden Arrows last night had just been a bad dream. But it was, in fact, real – a nightmare. After again hugely dominating proceedings, firing shots at will against their opponents, the Rich Boyz were simply unable to put the ball into the back of the net. There were at least a dozen clear opportunities, when it looked easier to score than to miss, but not one that mattered. It was the opposite story for Arrows, whose lone second-half chance was well and truly buried by Junior Dion – a magnificent volley from just outside the box that left four defenders and goalkeeper Salim Magoola mere spectators. No stopper in the world would have got near, and ultimately the 82nd minute goal was enough to deny NRB the win they thoroughly deserved. That's two losses in two games in an unlucky start to their Betway Premiership campaign, after losing 2-1 to Marumo Gallants in the season opener. And it won't get easier as they travel to the FNB Stadium on Tuesday to meet Kaizer Chiefs and their thousands of fans. But they have played extremely well thus far, and if Lady Luck changes her fickle mind, this time they could well get the rewards they deserve. Don't have the ZO app?

Golden Arrows boost squad with striker from AmaZulu
Golden Arrows have reinforced their squad by acquiring the signature of Junior Dion who was previously with AmaZulu. Dion first joined Usuthu on loan from Marumo Gallants in 2023 before making the move permanent a year later. However, despite what appeared to be a promising career, AmaZulu released him at the end of last season. Dion had scored 14 goals in 47 official matches for AmaZulu, and Arrows saw the chance to pounce on him. Abafana Bes'thende unveiled Dion as their first and newest signing for the new campaign on Friday morning. Dion can be seen as a direct replacement for Knox Mutizwa who was released from his contract in May by Arrows. Marumo Gallants' Ivorian striker Sede Junior Dion is reportedly on the wanted list of a number of PSL clubs.
