    This is the second season of the Absa women’s league, after Absa sponsored the first league events which started at the beginning of this year.

    Cacadu section kicks off in Hankey this weekend, with defending champions, African Connections from Grahamstown playing two matches.

    This is the second season of the Absa women’s league, after Absa sponsored the first league events which started at the beginning of this year.

    Th event sees each region playing in its own league, with African Connection falling under the Cacadu league.

    The top Cacadu league teams then meet other regional winners in the Eastern Cape event, before the top Eastern Cape teams head off to the national champs.

    In the past season, African Connections took part in the provincial event where they represented Cacadu. The local side lost to both the NMMU and Amatole champions to finish bottom of their section.

    The women’s team will face Alexandria Bay on Saturday and then meet Red Stars from Bathurst on Sunday. Most of the Cacadu teams will be in action over the weekend in Hankey.

    Totobela said his side will be going all out to defend the title as Cacadu champs and he hopes to see them progress even further in the 2009/2010 league.

    He says that according to a new rule, all women’s teams in the competition must field at least five U17 players at all times.

    Totobela said this will not be a drastic change to his side who already have a few U17 players in the team. He said this change helps to identify up and coming talent, adding that there is a shortage of talent in the natinal women’s side.

    He believes this is Safa’s way of finding and promoting the carreers of young talented women.
