Stellies' victory on Friday night did little to shift the standings, as Gavin Hunt’s charges remain level on points with Golden Arrows, who stay ahead on goal difference. The race to muscle into the coveted top eight is reaching a boiling point, while down in the trenches, sides like Marumo Gallants, Orbit College, and Magesi FC remain locked in a gritty scrap to dodge the drop.
