Diadora won the Manchester United Premier Cup

SuperSport United’s Under 15, a South African football team based in Pretoria and sponsored by Diadora, won the Manchester United Premier Cup on Monday. The talented lads from Pretoria City FC, who were runners-up here for the past two years, displayed some excellent football when they beat Balfour Alexandra 2-0 in a one-sided final to book a spot in the international tournament to play against teams from around the world in London from August 2nd to 6th. SuperSport, unbeaten in five outings at this year’s event, started the game with clear intentions of clinching the trophy thanks to their creativity and attacking play they displayed here. They were duly rewarded early in the first half when central midfielder Cebo Meyiwa connected a stunning cross from the left wing to head in. Moments later, SuperSport were soon on the attack again and they profited through a well executed pile driver from the brilliant Meyiwa again which gave Alexandra’s goalkeeper no chance. SuperSport development coach Chris O’Loughlin, who could not hide his excitement at his team’s success, said: “It’s unbelievable what we achieved today, the boys did very well and I’m proud of the victory.”
