Cape Town – The Kaizer Chiefs Under-13s achieved a remarkable feat last weekend by going through their entire Safa Gauteng Development League 34-game season undefeated.
Amakhosi’s Under-13s beat their TS Galaxy counterparts 4-1 at the Village on Sunday.
The Chiefs Under-15s then beat their Galaxy counterparts by the same score to finish their campaign as champions.
On Saturday, October 28, the Chiefs Under-17s ended their season on a disappointing note, going down 4-1 at the ETS sports grounds, as did the Under-19s, who were beaten 2-1 in their last match.
But in Chatsworth, south of Durban, Chiefs Reserves won the DStv Diski Challenge battle against Golden Arrows 3-2, in a match where both teams held the lead before the Glamour Boys landed the knockout blow.
The victory keeps them in third place, with 17 points after eight rounds, three points off the leading side.
Their next encounter will be a home fixture against Richards Bay on Saturday, 4 November, kicking off at 10:00.
Kaizer Chiefs has five age groups: the Under-13s, Under-15s, Under-17s, Under-19s, and the reserve team.
Said a club spokesman: “Our responsibility as a football club is to set and maintain a standard of excellence at the training grounds.
“We expect extremely high standards [from] our players, and we expect them to understand that their development starts every day [when] they walk through the gates of the Kaizer Chiefs Village.”
