Mamelodi Sundowns might have made a clean sweep at the DStv Premiership awards ceremony but Monnapule Saleng also stole the show.
Fresh from winning the Nedbank Cup, Saleng bagged two awards on Sunday night to ensure that Orlando Pirates stayed relevant.
The Orlando Pirates star won the MTN8 Last Man Standing and the DStv Premiership Players’ Player of the season.
This made sure that his season was indeed celebrated in the vest possible way ever.
The A-league’s Melbourne derby descended into violence before Christmas – four months later, the teams returned to finish the match.
Melbourne Victory fans threw flares and a bucket at Melbourne City keeper Tom Glover, forcing an abandonment – both sets of supporters were already angry after discovering that the Grand Final was being moved to Sydney (the league’s top team usually hosts).
The match restarted from the 22nd minute in early April – ex-burnley man Aiden O’neill put City 1-0 ahead in the original fixture and made it 2-0 when it resumed, meaning he had scored two goals in the same game, 109 days apart.
No one clonked him on the bonce with a bucket, either: win-win.
