KAITANO TEMBO’S Richards Bay suffered another defeat, losing 2-3 against Royal AM in a DStv Premiership match at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg yesterday.
Royal AM held on dearly for a win over rivals Richards Bay FC in the KZN derby.
All the goals were scored in the first half and when Royal AM ran up a commanding 3-0 lead everything pointed to a runaway win for them.
However, Richards Bay stormed back into the match but ultimately, they came up short and suffered defeat, although they will be kicking themselves because they had so many chances to claim an outright win.
Richards Bay will remain in 15th place in the 16-team league but Royal AM will move from 14th to 12th place in the 16-team league.
With grey skies overhead and a drizzle prevailing, the fans from both sides burst into song at the opening whistle. By the sound of things, the fans came well-prepared with drums and instruments and their offerings made for a heady atmosphere — Sports Reporter/IOL.
