Flames Back on Top
CUT Flames beat Sodbury Spiders 2-1 in a Matchday 9 encounter to reclaim top spot in a race that appears to have been reduced to three horses.
Barca Kadoma and Better XI Academy are not far away, just two points behind the leaders, with the former ahead on goal difference.
As the title chase intensifies, three players have also set themselves up for a possible two awards at the Golden Footprints Soccer Awards, set for 18 December 2026. Kadhija Issah (Better XI), Shyline Muzamhindo (CUT Flames) and Thelma Ngirazi (Barca Kadoma), while in an epic battle for the golden boot, are also among the four-player shortlist for the Best Player in the MWWSL category. The fourth, Judith Matsiye of Sodbury Spiders, is so lowly on the goals chart that her realistic hope of a gong is the Best Player one.
Unless, of course, the usual goals miracles synonymous with women’s football manifest in Sodbury’s next matches before 30 November.
The current top three sides are all represented too on the top three positions of our clean-sheet rankings.
