Panders: champs of Unity Soccer

OWN CORRESPONDENT

Following the early round robin matches, four teams emerged into the semi-finals: Vichai (Pretoria), Maccabi, Panders, and Chabad FC.

Panders, who were last year’s champions, and Maccabi emerged winners, and everything was set for the big final.

At full time, the two teams were locked one-all. In extra time, however, the Panders score once and then, with Maccabi pressing for the equaliser, Panders struck and scored again. Their counter attack gave them a well-deserved 3-1 victory.

Panders collected their gold medals, and the R3 000 prize money.

Said organiser Ilan Herrmann from Soul Workout, “The soccer is very competitive, but is played in good spirits. There is something special about getting everyone together around a sports event. Next year, we would like to branch into girls’ soccer as well.”
