Cape Town Tygerberg LFA’s (CTTFA) representation in each of the respective Coke Cup Finals shows where the true strength of football in Cape Town lies.
Just looking at the main event – the men’s final – a match between CT Tygerberg powerhouses Hanover Park and Vasco da Gama. I mean, an LFA derby, come on… what does it tell you?
Then you have the Magic Ladies who will, for a second consecutive year, try their luck at a maiden cup title. So, too, are their opponents, RV United, eyeing their first cup success on 18 October at the Athlone Stadium.
Not forgetting that Cape Town Spurs’ u18’s are appearing in their third final in as many seasons.
And If that isn’t enough reasoning to underline their dominance and superiority on and off the field, I must add – then I rest my case. Any doubters are actually just haters, as the proof is in the pudding!
And excuses such as ‘previously advantaged’ and ‘white privilege’ and all that political crap will not be entertained, as it has been long enough to get with the program.
The people running the administration at the CTTFA are pros and its clear they are in it for the right reasons which allows them to perform their tasks to the best of their ability.
Nobody is saying that this LFA don’t have issues, trust me, they do. The CTTFA is also not immune to the crimes of society – the main thing is that it does not affect the running of their organisation.
Now, have a look at the majority of the struggling LFA’s, and where are they all mostly situated? The ghettos, the townships! Gang and drug-infested areas where lawlessness sometimes prevail.
But it is no secret what lurks deeper down at these LFA”S has also become their Achilles heel – dictatorship, fuelled by self-greed and fame, corruption, no transparency and no accountability, coupled with a host of other issues which are to the detriment of their respective LFA’s…
Let’s take Hanover Park LFA for instance; it only exists by name and there seems to be nothing happening at that organisation. So, why does it exist in the first place?
And until a genuine concern and appetite is shown to rid the game of all evil, scandal and everything that it shouldn’t be, then perhaps the future could still be one that inspires hope for the future football generation.
But until then, we have to marvel at the excellence of an organisation called Cape Town Tygerberg LFA.
