Lentswe, Jouberton - The 018 Friendship Cup took place last weekend. It is organised by regional teams from the Dr KK region. Six teams from NW travelled to Carle-tonville in Gauteng in October. The event, played on December 7 was supposed to be the return leg where six teams from Gauteng were scheduled to compete. Unfortunately all Gauteng teams withdrew due to challenges encountered and the organisers opted for teams playing in the Dr KK regional league to play.
The tournament consisted of eight teams: Klerksdorp Rising Stars FC, Klerksdorp Youngsters, Maglera Stars, Thembu Stars, Triumphant Militant Kings, Tigane Newcastle FC, Ikamva Sporting FC and Freedom Stars FC.
Rising Stars FC and Tigane Newcastle met in the final and Rising Stars won the tournament. The idea is to expand the tournament, but they need more sponsors.
