MultiChoice Diski ChallengeJOHANNESBURG– As the MultiChoice Diski Challenge (PSL Reserve League) reaches its penultimate round of fixtures three Gauteng teams are within a chance of clinching the title.

This weekend’s festival, which could decide the destination of the coveted Diski Challenge trophy.

It’s all to play for at the summit of the table with only one point separating log leaders Bloemfontein Celtic from second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns. Other teams still within a chance of winning the competition are Bidvest Wits (3rd), Kaizer Chiefs (4th), Maritzburg United (5th) and Highlands Park (6th).

Entry is free on both days but members of the public will be issued with a ticket as part of access control.

The MDC title race was blown wide open this past weekend when Bloemfontein Celtic scored a stoppage time winner against Orlando Pirates to leapfrog long time log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns who dropped valuable points in their match against Free State Stars.

Three teams; Bidvest Wits, Kaizer Chiefs and Highlands Park, all have an outside chance of lifting the trophy after grabbing maximum points this past weekend to keep their title hopes alive.

Celtic will kick-off proceedings on Saturday at 11h00 when they host Ajax Cape Town knowing that a win would edge them closer to their maiden MDC title. Soweto Giants, Orlando Pirates and defending champions Lamontville Golden Arrows, both out of the title race, will do battle in the second match of the day at 13h00.

On Sunday, fifth-placed Maritzburg United and Polokwane City will play the first match of the day at 11h00 with Maritzburg needing maximum points if they are to stand any chance of winning the trophy. Then at 13h00, second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns and fourth-placed Kaizer Chiefs will lock horns in what is expected to be a ‘six-point’ thriller which will most likely have a bearing on the destination of the trophy.

Fans attending and those watching live on SuperSport 4 and Select (Channel 210) stand a chance of winning a trip for two to Netherlands accompanying the winning team.
