Bugger.
Stellenbosch (GD +15) lose 2-1, and Orlando Pirates draw (GD +18) with SuperSport, so that both teams end up on 50 points. Pirates edge 2nd spot, and the automatic CAF Champions League spot on GD.

Stellies finish 3rd and get a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup. Which based off Saffa's post above could be a financial poisoned chalice for the club.

ADJ on at HT with Stellenbosch down 2-0.

He seems to have been in good form of late, and might be rewarded with a OFC Nations Cup callup, with Wood unavailable.

Stellies just ran out of steam in the end.  What a huge achievement for Stellies players and management team to finish 3rd in the Psl. Qualifying for the Caf Confederations Cup and the Top 8 Cup.

Congrats to Adj for a wonderful season by staying fit and really putting a shift in. It would be awesome if Stellies ownership financially back them for the Confederations Cup but its understandable if they don't. Their reserve team won their development league so there is a wonderful crop of talent to blood into the 1st team. 

Stellies are at risk of losing some quality young players to the PSL Big 3, MLS and European teams. The PSL fight with wyscout however could be a massive stumbling block to MLS or European transfers. Pure idiots!
Playing in Africa would definitely be good for Adj development and career. It is tough, frustrating and the need to be resilient has the potential push him to the next level
