Simunye will be the ninth team to represent George in the SAB regional League. The other George teams in the league are Black Cats, Eastern City, Young Blues, Paris United, Diego Masters, Young Pirates, United Brothers and Heaven Stars.
Simunye are now facing new challenges in the SAB Regional League. The league wants to see more u.21 players, so-called development players, rather than seniors. The age restriction will make things difficult for the newly promoted side. For the love of sports, let's hope they will find a way of recruiting more u. 21 players in order to remain in the biggest competitive league, the SAB.
