Mamelodi Sundowns ladies have been crowned the 2021 Hollywoodbets Womens Super League champions following Sunday’s 7-0 thrashing of Ma-Indies Ladies at Wits Sports Stadium.
The extraordinary season saw the African queens remained without an on-field defeat since 2018, winning 24 of their 26 league matches, with just a draw and one defeat suffered from boardroom decision.
The title triumph also means Jerry Tshabalala’s ladies are back-to-back league champions, and completed a treble, following their memorable successes at the inaugural COSAFA Women’s Champions League and TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Champions League earlier in the year 2021.
Head coach Jerry Tshabalala could not hold back his tears after his side collected a third title in a trophy-laden season.
“We are very proud of the ladies and the dedication they have shown this year. We have had a very difficult and exhausting year; playing in two major tournaments and leading the log in the Super League,” said Tshabalala.
“This trophy is just a reward for all the sacrifices, sweat and tears we have endured this year, and we intend to continue with this fighting spirit in next year and many more years to come. Not only in South Africa but in world football.”
