There was joy and sadness at the Olympia Park Stadium in Rustenburg after Orbit College were promoted to the Betway Premiership following a 1-0 win over CapeTown City in a PSL Promotion/Relegation play-off match on Wednesday afternoon.

Letsie Koapeng, a former Bidvest Wits and Orlando Pirates forward, scored the all-important goal, which sealed their promotion to the elite league after he received a pass from Gomolemo Khoto three minutes into the second half. 

The North West side collected eight points after winning twice and drawing two matches during the play-offs. 

While there was joy from the Orbit College camp, Citizens players were visibly disappointed as some of them cried uncontrollable after match referee Thando Ndzandzeka had blown the final whistle which signalled their team’s relegation to the Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC).
