Downs dominate

A HOST of Mamelodi Sundowns players headline the nominees for the 2022 Premier Soccer League Awards announced yesterday.

The DStv Premiership and MTN8 champions have had a remarkable campaign and it comes as no surprise that the bulk of their squad occupy the majority of categories of potential individual honours.

The Brazilians have racked up unbelievable statistics and broken numerous records on their way to claim a fourth Premiership title in four years.

However, there could be an upset on the cards with the inclusion of Victor Letsoalo in the Footballer of Season accolade and coach John Maduka vying for Coach of the Season.
