Siphesihle Dlamini celebrates third Varsity Football title with UWC

This after their hard fought 1-0 victory over the University of Johannesburg in the final in Soweto on Friday.

“I honestly feel very good about this milestone - winning the championshipship not just twice but three times. This is something that we were eager to achieve for a while," said Dlamini.

"We wanted to play the final at home so we could lift up the trophy in front of our supporters. It was a very tough tournament for us but I am happy that we fought until the end and that is what it takes to win championships."
