Read; Official: Maritzburg Retain Absa Premiership Status
The Team of Choice have shown superiority against two National First Division sides in the play-offs for a spot in the Absa Premiership and retained their status officially on Wednesday after beating Royal Eagles 2-0, which was their third consecutive victory in the mini-table. Eric Tinkler's charges will now have an opportunity to set a perfect record of winning all their matches in the promotion-relegation play-offs. On the other hand, TTM will be gauging their quality against a premiership side in preparation for another season in the NFD. The Limpopo-based side lost their first two games in the play-offs, which severely dented their chances of challenging Maritzburg for a spot in the Absa Premiership. TTM registered their first win against Eagles last week to give themselves some slim hope, but the result proved irrelevant as Maritzburg defeated Eagles on Wednesday to win the mini-tournament.Here's how they line up:
Maritzburg: Mpandle, Onyango, Farmer, Ndlovu, De Reuck, Makaringe, Timm, Kutumela, Mokate, Mekoa, Shandu.
Subs: Barr, Katerrega, Matsi, Sanoka, Hlongwane, Zakri, Kunene.
TTM: Ramaele, Meso, Nyadombo, Makgoga, Mokoena ,Ononogbu, Khumalo, Ndlondlo, Mbandlwa, Makhubu, Bhengu.
Subs: Mbanjwa, Chauke, Nkoana, Mashau, Msomi, Mabotja, Nevhulamba.
