The Premier Division Final will kick off at 16h00 on Saturday, 24 June at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein. The match will be televised live on SuperSport.

The Free Staters and defending champions were touted as early favourites for the title after dominating the initial stages of the tournament. 

Both teams were less consistent towards the end of the league phase, yet Hawies Fourie’s charges did enough to finish at the top of the standings, and the men from Mpumalanga managed to secure third place.

Both went into the semi-finals as underdogs, and both proceeded to deliver a statement regarding their championship quality.

While the Cheetahs will go into that decider as favourites, they will be wary of a Jimmy Stonehouse’s Pumas side that managed to win last year’s semi-final in the Free State capital.
