Consistency. Confidence. Class.

Hleliso Gamedze has been electric for Rangers; a spark in every attack and one of the leagueโ€™s most reliable goal-getters. His performances through October have now earned him the MTN Premier League Player of the Month honour.

A reminder that hard work still scores, and form like this deserves its flowers.

๐Ÿ‘ Congratulations, Hleliso!

Full-time might stop the game, but never the stories. Hereโ€™s how MatchWeek 6 looked through the eyes of

LASEKHAYA.

Not every story is told in headlines. Some unfold quietly; in the laughter shared off-camera, the touchline glances, the sighs, the small mercies between chaos.

OUTSIDE THE SCRIPT is a visual journal of the in-betweens. The unscripted, unpolished, and undeniably human side of matchday, where emotion breathes freely, and every frame feels like something youโ€™ve lived before.

Here, football isnโ€™t performance. Itโ€™s presence. Itโ€™s the small, stolen gestures that remind us why we fell in love with the game in the first place, and why we keep showing up.

We kicked off the weekend with Nkwene Sundowns edging Lozitha Spurs to climb top of the standings, and they werenโ€™t alone in making moves. Red Rhinos joined them in the winnersโ€™ circle, while All Nations stumbled and lost ground.

At the other end of the table, Viva Stumbo XI and Ludzeludze Killers continue to search for that elusive first win. Madlenya and Piggโ€™s Peak Professionals meanwhile have muscled their way into the top four, proving just how quickly things can change in this league.

Five matchweeks in, the race for promotion is already fierce and every point feels heavier than gold.

Goals, shocks, and statements - MatchWeek 5 had it all! From Sisonkheโ€™s heavy baptism at the hands of Young Buffaloes to Tabankulu Celtics stunning Royal Leopard in Mkhuzweni, the league continues to remind us: nothing is guaranteed.

Manzini Sea Birds soared, Nsingizini steadied, Ezulwini stunned, and the champions bounced back. 24 goals in 8 matches โ€” and every one of them carrying a story.

๐Ÿ“Next stop: MatchWeek 6.
Same passion. New drama.

The dust has barely settled from yesterdayโ€™s storm; six matches, twelve goals, and more twists than we bargained for, but the show rolls on this Sunday.

Two fixtures close off MatchWeek 5, and both promise more drama. At KaLanga Stadium, Sisonkhe are still in search of their first points of the season as they host Young Buffaloes, whoโ€™ll be desperate to get their campaign back on track. Up north, at Killarney, Malanti Chiefs look to protect their unbeaten run as they welcome Mbabane Highlanders in whatโ€™s shaping up to be one of the weekendโ€™s biggest fixtures.

Sometimes, itโ€™s just a team caught between cycles. A champion shedding its old skin.

Royal Leopard have been here before. Theyโ€™ve clawed back from tougher stretches, rewritten narratives, and reminded us why the name Ingwe still commands fear and respect. But right now, after a string of un-Leopard-like results, they find themselves on unfamiliar ground; not chasing titles, but chasing rhythm.

This isnโ€™t about panic. Itโ€™s about perspective. A reminder that even the fiercest hunters need to rediscover their hunger.

A leopard never changes its spots, they say. And yet, it must learn how to make them matter again.

Royal Leopardโ€™s story isnโ€™t one of decline, itโ€™s one of regeneration. The goals will return, the rhythm will come back, and the roar will rise again. But only if they remember what made them Ingwe in the first place: discipline, instinct, and a refusal to be ordinary.

Because in Eswatini football, survival isnโ€™t just about talent. Itโ€™s about timing; knowing when to crouch, and when to pounce.

Every predator hesitates before it pounces. Royal Leopardโ€™s stumble might just be that breath before the next kill.

Itโ€™s tempting to call it a crisis. But maybe itโ€™s just a necessary pause, a leopard learning to hunt again. The siSwati proverb reminds us โ€œIngwe idla ngemabalaโ€ โ€“ the leopard feeds by its spots, but only if it remembers how to hunt. For Royal Leopard, the time for remembering has come. Fr...

Newcomers Tabankulu Celtics stunned Royal Leopard 3โ€“0 in Mkhuzweni, easily the biggest surprise of the season so far! Elsewhere, the defending champs Nsingizini Hotspurs, Ezulwini United, and Green Mamba all edged 1โ€“0 wins, while Manzini Sea Birds turned on the style to thrash Manzini Wanderers 4โ€“0.

At Mavuso, it was honours even as Moneni Pirates and Rangers played out a 1โ€“1 draw, with league top scorer Hleliso Gamedze once again on target.

MatchWeek 5 isnโ€™t done yet. Sunday brings Malanti Chiefs vs Mbabane Highlanders and Young Buffaloes vs Sisonkhe. The story of the season keeps getting better.

HIGH PRESS - THE DEFINITION

In sporting terms, High Press is a defense tactic that emphasizes defending high in the opposition half. It is not merely a tactic meant to prevent the other side from scoring, but is also a core attacking strategy. It's a tactic that has come to the fore in recent years with the world's top managers/coaches tweaking and retooling it to fit their needs, preferences and overall approach to the game. That's the tactic we chose to name our blog after.

We wanted to create a platform that would facilitate improved visibility and packaging of football in the Kingdom of Eswatini and try, even with the existing limitations as provided by the reluctance to catch up with the times as far the organisation of administration of our games go, to give concise timely useful information, balanced commentary and analysis of ibhola Eswatini.

This is not a gossip station. Well-mannered banter is welcome, but you can take the insulting language somewhere else. Keep your comments clean and palatable.
