Richards Bay Shoot Down Golden Arrows To Clinch Kzn Derby

Richards Bay broke a five-game losing streak after defeating Golden Arrows 1-0 at the Mpumalanga Stadium in Hammarsdale on Saturday afternoon.

The Natal Rich Boyz found the decisive goal halfway through the second half and lifted themselves off the bottom of the Premiership table.

Just as it seemed another instalment of the KZN derby was heading for a draw, Richards Bay youngster Lindokuhle Zikhali found the breakthrough for the visitors in the 75th minute.

The 19-year-old midfielder popped up at the right place to ensure his side got a reward for their second-half endeavour by scoring his first professional goal.

The attention around the Arrows technical team had dominated the headlines leading up to this match, with head coach Mabhuti Khenyeza still absent from his duties.
