Kick4Life Ladies finished runners up again in the Maseru District League, missing out on the title after losing the final 5-4 on penalties against rivals Likhosatsana.

After winning the normal group over the regular season, they entered a group with Setsokotsane and Basetsana on the first day of the finals weekend.

In the first group game they saw off Setsokotsane 4-2, despite playing the last 20 minutes with ten players, after Rethabile Ntobo was sent off for a late challenge.

Goals from Thato Sentje, Kefuoe Makoa and Helieo Mohasisa (2) saw off Setsokotsane.

Kick4Life followed up the win by seeing off Basetsana 3-0 in the second game. Two more goals from Mohasisa and a penalty cooly converted by Makoa completed the scoring.

In the semi-final on Sunday Kick4Life saw off Rovers, on Sunday morning. After a tight start to the game, where Rovers could have taken an early lead, Kick4Life went in front just before half-time, with Makoa finding the top corner with a well placed free-kick.

Makoa then set up the second with a fine cross, which the ‘keeper failed to gather, and Ramphielo was on hand to finish.

Mohasisa added a third late on when she was played in and saw off a defender before easily beating the ‘keeper, which saw Kick4Life through to the final.

In the final, against rivals Likhosatsana,  Kick4Life had the best of the game creating plenty of chances, however the current champions went in front early in the second half.

A free-kick by Makoa in the final minute of normal time, sent the game in to penalties. After Kepa, Letsie, Ntobo and Makoa all converted from the spot, Sentje unfortunately missed the final kick to hand Likhosatsana a 5-4 victory and the 2014 title.
