Bongani Ndimande was man of the match after scoring the only goal of the day against Michaelhouse.
Westville boys travelled to the Midlands on Saturday for a full set of soccer fixtures against their Michaelhouse counterparts with Westville having had to make a few changes to the team that took on Northwood last week due to injuries to key players Kyan Braithwaite and Jacques Bleekers. Bongani Ndimande and Smiso Buthelezi stepped up to play 1st team on Saturday.
Both sides pressed for the opening goal in the first half with both enjoying periods of good possession but neither was able to convert this possession into points.
Half time saw a few changes to the Westville side, with Nhlanhla Blose being replaced by Shane Ball. Changes were also made to the team’s formation.
These changes had the desired effect with Westville using the extra space created in the midfield and Bongani Ndimande in particular beginning to dominate in this area.
Despite these changes, Westville could not find the back of the net with Jason Oakes and Smiso Buthelezi both missing good chances.
With only 5 minutes left to play, it was up to man of the match, Bongani Ndimande to score a great goal from 30 metres out into the bottom right corner.
It was a tough but deserved victory for Westville. It was pleasing to see the competitive spirit the game was played in.
