TWO IN TWO DAYS FOR RED HOT MUSONA!

Two awards in two days. Knowledge Musona must be feeling on top of the world right now.



A selected panel of judges has been keeping a watchful eye over proceedings in the Absa Premiership for the months of October and November. The panel, made up of four reputable members of the media met at the PSL last week where they engaged in healthy debate to deliberate the nominees in the two categories and eventually selected a winner in each.



“This has really turned out to be an exciting season and having sat in on the judging it was evident that the level of football has grown from strength to strength” said Steward Masela, Absa Sponsorship Consultant.



With six players making this month’s list, it demonstrates the high level of football being played in the Absa Premiership this season. The list was made up of the following players Andile Jali (Orlando Pirates), Sibusiso Zuma (Vasco da Gama), Knowledge Musona (Kaizer Chiefs), Noah Chivuta (Free State Stars), Thulasizwe Mbuyane (Orlando Pirates) and Siyabonga Nkosi (Golden Arrow). While Zoran Filipovic (Golden Arrows), Clinton Larsen (Bloemfontein Celtic) Carlos das Neves (Vasco da Gama) and Roger de Sa (Bidvest Wits) secured a spot on the Coach of the Month shortlist.



Of the six players nominated, it came down to one player who stood out head and shoulders above the rest- there was no debate that Musona should win the Absa Premiership Player for the months of October and November 2010. The judges’ reasoning for his outright win was that Musona had emerged as the leading marksman in the top-flight this season. He makes good runs and connects well with midfield. This youngster’s BMT (big game temperament) came to the fore having scored a total of four goals during the judging period, including two against arch-rivals Pirates at Soccer City.


Musona was also named the Red Hot Young Player for the same period. So in fact it`s three in two days! I am definitely gate crushing the Musonas` Christmas get together!
