Orbit College and Hungry Lions suffered defeats in the latest round of the Motsepe Foundation Championship, while Maritzburg United moved closer to the top of the table.
The Team of Choice inflicted Orbit College’s third loss of the 2023/24 campaign, following a 3-1 win at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday.

Platinum City Rovers have now moved clear of the drop zone and currently sit in 14th spot on the table.
In yet another frustrating week for Milford and Pretoria Callies, both sides ended the current game week with stalemates to their names.
Casric Stars shared the spoils with Upington City in a 1-1 draw on Saturday, while Pretoria Callies and La Masia fired blanks at the TUT Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
