The third week of the Sasol League was not lacking in goals as a total of 112 goals were scored from the matches that were played on Thursday and over the weekend.

With many of the national team players returning to their clubs and those who never made it to Cyprus wanting to prove a point, the games over the past weekend were always going to be action packed with lots of drama.

Three-time national champions and defending champions Palace Super Falcons showed that they had no intention of giving up the title with another vintage performance scoring twice against a strong Tuks team. The dazzling performance sent out a clear indication to all teams that anyone who wanted the league title would have to dig deep to take it from them.

Whilst only the inland provinces have begun their title chase, the amount of goals scored was evident that the teams have hunger and determination to score goals; something that bodes well for the rest of the season. 

Golden Ladies, Mamelodi Sundowns, Moroka Swallows and Classic Academy are some of the teams that have put their hands up as title contenders at this early stage in the competition. All teams bagged four goals or more in their respective games with Golden Ladies finding the back of the net nine times in their game against Clive United.
