Milford capitalise on Casric slip, City move up

Milford FC moved to the top of the Motsepe Foundation Championship this weekend, while Cape Town City gained momentum with their second victory on the spin in matchday eight.

Following a 3-3 draw with Upington City last week, Milford returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win against Black Leopards on Friday.

Now back on track, Milford climbed to the top of the pile yet again, with their latest result being supplemented by Casric Stars’ 1-0 loss to Highbury on the same day, who subsequently slipped into second position.

Highbury’s win moved them within two points of Casric Stars in third place after they made sure to join the winning column after their 2-1 defeat against Leicesterford City during matchday seven.

Elsewhere, Cape Town City covered valuable ground in South Africa’s first division this weekend after they bagged a 2-1 win against The Bees on home soil.

With two wins on the spin, City have now accumulated nine points from eight matches played so far and ended their latest assignment in 11th place.

On Sunday, Midlands Wanderers moved away from the bottom of the standings after jotting down a 1-0 win against Venda Football Academy.

Their victory leapfrogged them into 14th on the table via only their second win of the 2025/26 season.
