After winning the Kloof Interprovincial Tournament the previous Saturday and accounting for Clifton during the week, Westville had stretched their unbeaten run to 15 games and they were confident that they would be more than a match for St Charles on Saturday. Although the Highways team was originally blessed with some very talented players it has already lost 6 of them through injury including their three top strikers as well as their Captain Jason Oakes. Kingsley Jollands their star defender having also just been added to the injury list. Possibly too many games in too compacted a season are beginning to make their toil.
Westville got off to a positive start and dominated the first half playing more attacking soccer but without managing to get any reward for their endeavors. The second half was much of the same with the St Charles goalie have a torrid time but managing to keep a clean slate and Westville more intent on breaking the cross bar rather than kicking the ball into the back of the net. Facing a continuous onslaught, St Charles seemed content to hold out for draw.
It was a very frustrating result for Westville’s coach, while his counterpart from Pietermaritzburg would have been quite contented with the draw.
