The Rhodes University Soccer Club men’s first team suffered their first defeat in the Port Elizabeth Football Association Promotion League over the weekend.
Before the weekend’s two matches, Rhodes were in perfect form, as they had won all of their first five matches. Among the latest of their first five victims were Westville United and Motherwell Academy whom they beat 2-1 and 2-0 respectively.
The students then had a double over the past weekend as they travelled to Komatsu Young Tigers at Kemsley Park on Saturday, and then visited Forresters on Sunday at the Eastern Province Command.
Young Tigers are the newcomers in the league and were unable to deal with Rhodes’ assault as Rhodes went on to win 4-0.
On Sunday Rhodes played against Forresters at the Eastern Province Command, with Rhodes fielding a weaker side due to students preparing for exams.
Rhodes lost the match 3-1 their first defeatof the season. This is also the first time Forresters have beaten Rhodes in four years.
