The big clash in the second round of the Women’s First Division is between last year’s finalists, the SWD Eagirls and Leopards, in Potchefstroom. SWD won in 2022 to claim bragging rights and the trophy, but they will be well aware that their trip to North West province will result in a fierce contest match. Both sides won their opening encounters last weekend and the result of this match could have a big impact on the final later in the season.

The Free State Women will have something to say about that though as they look to claim another neighboring scalp, this time in Kimberley where they face Griquas Women. The team from Bloemfontein smashed the Griffons in Welkom in the opening round and will be keen to continue their dominance over their Northern Cape rivals at Windhoek Draught Stadium on Saturday.

While the top four teams on the log play each other this weekend, all of the Pumas Women, Limpopo Blue Bulls Women, Griffons Women, and Valke Women will be looking to bounce back immediately after suffering defeats in the opening round.

The Pumas will host the Griffons in Middelburg, while Valke hopes to treat the Barnard Stadium faithful in Kempton Park to a win over the Limpopo Blue Bulls. That match will be played after the Mzansi Challenge final between the Valke and SWD, which kicks off at 12h30.
