Masiphumelele, Hamediehs and Victorians have already proven that they are aiming for the promotional play-offs at the end of the season.
Three teams in the league will qualify for the promotional play-offs to the Super League C.
The promotional play-offs will also include three teams each from the Northern League and Southern League. Only the top three from the play-offs will gain promotion.
However, after one more round the league will still only be at the halfway mark so the road to the play-offs is still a long one and the teams below the three front runners will fancy their chances of clawing their way back into contention.
The second half of the season will see Masiphumelele going up against sides that are in the top half of the table including Western Zebras, Hamediehs and Violets.
They have a break this weekend and when they return on Saturday June 1, they will have Progress awaiting them.
Club chairman, Darren Clarke says as tough as he expects things to be in the second round of the league, promotion to Super League C is a must this season. The side narrowly missed out on promotion last season when they lost in the final round of the play-offs.
Clarke says Masiphumelele is a community club that means a lot to the people of the southern peninsula and promotion would be a huge step forward not only for the club but the whole community.
“Last season we narrowly missed out and this time around we want to correct those mistakes and make the Super League C.
“We know it will be difficult but we have to give our all in the remaining seven games for us and the southern peninsula community,” he said.
