Orlando Pirates have swept the board in the Premier Soccer League's first monthly awards of the new campaign. The Buccaneers claimed the Player, Coach and Goal of the Month honours for September, underlining their strong start to the season.
The specific winners were not detailed, but the club's success in all three categories is a significant achievement. This recognition comes as the team sits second in the Premier Soccer League with 13 points from five matches. Their impressive form, which reads four wins and one draw, has them just six points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
The awards cover a period where Orlando Pirates were balancing domestic duties with continental competition. They began their September league schedule emphatically, securing a 4-0 victory over Kruger United.
Individual awards often reflect collective strength, and this haul suggests a confident and in-form squad. The club's attacking prowess is clear from their league-leading tally of 12 goals scored, while a defence that has conceded just once provides a solid foundation. Fans can check the latest standings to track the ongoing title race.
While the award-winning players were not named, one forward who has previously delivered is Leon. The player, who joined Pirates in January, scored ten goals in fifteen league matches last season, demonstrating the kind of finishing that wins monthly accolades. The team will look to maintain this standard in their next match.
