US lists BLA as global terrorist outfit: group says move 'unjustified'
The Department of State has designated the BLA as specially designated global terrorist (SDGT)
Washington/Islamabad: The US has declared the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as a global terrorist organisation, a move decried as "unjustified" by the separatist group fighting Pakistani rule in the resource-rich Balochistan province. Pakistan in 2006 banned the outfit and has been urging the US to do the same.
"The BLA is an armed separatist group that targets security forces and civilians, mainly in ethnic Baloch areas of Pakistan," the State Department said on Tuesday. The Department of State has designated the BLA as specially designated global terrorist (SDGT) outfit and made it a crime for anyone in the US to assist the outfit's militants and freezing any US assets they may have.
"The outfit has carried out several terrorist attacks in the past year, including a suicide attack in August 2018 that targeted Chinese engineers in Balochistan, a November 2018 attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi, and a May 2019 attack against a luxury hotel in Gwadar," it added.
In May this year, five people, including a Pakistani soldier, were killed after BLA gunmen stormed a five-star hotel in the port city of Gwadar. Welcoming the US' move, Pakistan said it hopes the action would ensure that the BLA's space to operate is minimised.

the cts that show signs of age. Find a qualified Botox practitioner if thinking of getting Botox. Let’s examine some methods can help you find a reputable Botox doctor.
Referrals from family and friends can be the most effective way to start. It’s a good idea to talk with anyone you know who has received Botox injections. Because you have more trust in family members and friends than random people who are not your friends, you should ask them.
There is no harm in looking online for reviews if you don’t have any friends. It is possible to read reviews and see what past patients had to say about their doctor. Once you have found several good doctors get in touch with them.
Then, you could request your physician to know any Botox doctors. This is a great way to locate the Botox specialist since your primary physician will be in contact with the doctor and could refer them to them.
Overall, you should do these things before selecting a Botox physician.

As wildfires continue to ravage the area around Fort McMurray, Alta., the Archdiocese of Toronto is accepting contributions to help victims of this natural disaster. The fires that were first reported on May 1 have grown to encompass more than 10,000 hectares, destroying more than 1,600 buildings and necessitating the evacuation of at least 90,000 people from the Fort McMurray area. Neighboring towns are also being threatened and evacuations continue. The situation is grave and still developing.
Cardinal Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto commented on the tragedy:
"The hearts and prayers of the faithful of the Archdiocese of Toronto are with the people of Alberta, especially those in Fort McMurray and the surrounding area. As a former bishop of St. Paul and of Edmonton, I have witnessed the resolve, generosity and faithfulness of Albertans. In the midst of this tragedy, I am confident that all people of goodwill across the country will reach out in a spirit of prayer, compassion and care to support those who are suffering. May God protect and comfort them both now and in the difficult days ahead."
In an effort to support those people in Alberta who have been impacted by this disaster, the Archdiocese of Toronto is accepting funds that will be channeled through the Canadian Red Cross. The Government of Canada has made an initial commitment to match contributions to the Red Cross to assist people who have been displaced. More information about that commitment will be forthcoming.
Those wishing to help may do so in the following ways:
The Archdiocese of Toronto is Canada's largest diocese, stretching from Toronto north to Georgian Bay and from Oshawa to Mississauga. It is home to 1.9 million Catholics and 225 churches, with Mass celebrated in more than 30 languages each week.

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in life. When determining whether you’re ready to make the switch from an apartment or townhome rental in Nashville to your own home, consider these 10 questions to ask yourself to see if you want to take the plunge and contact a realtor.
Would Your Monthly Mortgage Be Comparable to Your Monthly Rent?
When considering townhomes for rent in Nashville versus homes for sale, the first question to ask yourself is whether you’ll be able to afford the added expense. Depending on the neighborhood you are looking in, your current monthly rent payment may be in line with an actual monthly mortgage expense. As you do your research, determine general costs that may come with living in a certain community and your mortgage qualifications.
Can You Afford the Down Payment, Deposit, Inspection, and Closing Costs?
A more detailed financial piece to consider is if you have the funds budgeted to cover other expenses related to purchasing a home that may not be readily apparent to first-time buyers. In the process of placing an offer for a home, you’ll be asked for a deposit to hold your claim on the property. You will also want to do an inspection of the home before you seal the deal—you could be looking at something much more expensive than meets the eye. Depending on the type of mortgage you choose, the percentage you will need to put down on the total cost of the house will vary.
Finally, there are closing costs associated with the final transfer of ownership. It’s important to review your finances to see if you are financially able to take on these additional costs.
Are You Planning on Staying in the Area?
Purchasing and investing in a home is a huge responsibility to take on, so you’ll want to think about how long you plan to stay in the area. If you’ve found a place to settle and don’t plan on leaving, buying your own home may be the best choice. However, if you have plans to move from city to city at some point, it would be fiscally more responsible to stick to townhomes for rent in Nashville.
Are You Prepared for the Maintenance Required?
Once you have walked yourself through each consideration, the final piece to think about is the ongoing cost that lies with the homeowner after the T’s are crossed and the I’s are dotted following the sale.
It’s important to consider, after everything else, if you will be able to keep up with those unexpected snafu costs throughout your time as a homeowner. It’s also important to decide if you even want that kind of financial responsibility if something breaks and needs to be fixed.
After weighing your options, are you thinking now might not be the time to buy a home in Nashville? Browse townhomes from HND Realty for rent throughout the Greater Nashville area and learn more about contacting our team of agents online.

Major business groups have urged the City Council to reject the plan in its current form. Two labor groups have threatened to sue the city if the plan is enacted.

Streamline WA fact sheet
What is Streamline WA?
Streamline WA is a whole of government initiative to make it easier to do business in Western Australia through better regulation and regulatory practice.
The Government launched Streamline WA on 6 December 2018 to encourage more investment and create more jobs in Western Australia by developing better ways of creating and applying regulation and improving how Government interacts with business, industry and the community.
Streamline WA is part of the Government’s Roadmap to Reform commitment to drive reform and change across the public sector to deliver real outcomes for Western Australians.
Why do we need Streamline WA?
The Government’s Service Priority Review 2017 found that economic, environmental and social opportunities could be maximised by developing and implementing regulation and regulatory practices that are risk-based and outcomes-focused.
Streamline WA will consider all aspects of regulation, including legislation and administration, and standardise how it is applied across government.
How will Streamline WA work?
Streamline WA will deliver better outcomes for business, industry and community by focussing on reforms that reduce the barriers, costs and complexities of doing business in Western Australia.
The Streamline WA web portal will provide a gateway for the public to refer regulatory issues and share ideas on how the Government can improve and simplify the regulatory process. Streamline WA will assess these issues and ideas, and prioritise the implementation of reforms that make it easier for business, industry and community to interact with the government.
Streamline WA is led by a Steering Committee, supported by regulatory and economic development government agencies, in operating in collaboration with leaders from industry and community groups. The initiative is implemented by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety and Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, with support from the Department of Treasury.
Where can I find more information?

Ex-Uttarakhand Congress chief Kishore Upadhyay accused of anti-party activities, removed from all posts
The Congress' in-charge of Uttarakhand affairs Devendra Yadav, in a letter to Kishore Upadhyay, accused him of 'hobnobbing' with the BJP and other political parties.
Congress MLA Narensh Saini and Samajwadi Party MLA Hari Om Yadav joined the BJP.
"If permission was not granted to Mekedatu Padayatra, why action not taken against Congress party?," Karnataka HC asks State govt
Meanwhile, Additional Advocate General submitted that the state government has already issued an order dated January 4, 2022, banning rallies/dharnas or demonstrations involving gatherings of people.
Last week, PM Modi's convoy was stuck on a flyover when he was on his way to Hussainiwala in Ferozepur district to visit National Martyr's Memorial.
The Lok Sabha MP from Anandpur Sahib also tagged a news report titled 'Channi nudges Congress to name candidate for CM, with a hint: he is quite popular' along with the tweet.
'Oldest party with strongest cadre base, but why do you fail against Modi?' Sushmita Dev's jibe at Congress
Dev also said the TMC has not entered the Assembly poll fray in Goa to cut the Congress's votes, and that the Banerjee-led party has to go to other states to expand the organisation.
On a day more Congress leaders were booked for violating Covid-19 norms, two of its senior leaders tested positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday.
Questions why no cases were filed against the ruling party leaders who participated in events where there were huge crowds
The soaring Covid positivity rate in the state, especially in Bengaluru, is seen as one of the major reasons for the administration to an act in a stricter manner.
Reddy and Mahesh also accused the Congress leaders of not taking any initiative to implement the Mekedatu project, when their party was in power.
Revanth also demanded that Rama Rao and his team explain what TRS has done for farmers from 2014 till now.
Nothing of the sort happened as an ousted Amarinder floated his own party and joined forces with the BJP. Meanwhile, the drug problem has remained as serious as ever.
In Goa, Pawar claimed his party has a base and senior NCP leader Praful Patel as well as Sanjay Raut from the Shiv Sena are in talks with the Congress for a larger secular alliance.
Navjot Singh Sidhu's sharp retort came in response to reporters' query on who would be the Congress' chief ministerial face in Punjab after the February 14 pill.
Former BJP leader Michael Lobo on Tuesday joined Congress, a day after resigning from the Goa cabinet and quitting the saffron party.

CLEVELAND—The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is pursuing a contract with the private prison company Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) to hold people in the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center in Youngstown prior to deporting them.
“Incarcerating thousands of immigrants in a private prison before deporting them is unjust and allowing a corporation to profit from it is a travesty,” said Mike Brickner, Senior Policy Director of the ACLU of Ohio. The U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) is seeking 5,000 new beds to house the unprecedented numbers of immigrants who are in its custody. “The DHS’s decision to partner with private prisons sends a horrible message about profiteering at the expense of individuals seeking asylum,” said Brickner.
DHS’s decision to negotiate deals with private prisons is especially troubling as just two months ago the Department of Justice announced the end of its use of private prisons after finding evidence of widespread abuse. Following suit, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson asked the Homeland Security Advisory Council to review its current policy on the use of private immigration detention centers and evaluate whether to eliminate the practice. Prior to DOJ’s announcement this year, the federal Bureau of Prisons had cancelled its contract with CCA in Youngstown in December 2014.
“During ICE detention, these people have been subject to abuse and mistreatment,” said Brickner. “Incentivizing private companies to detain people for profit only exacerbates our criminal justice system problems. To allow more people to be incarcerated for a profit in Ohio sends our state in the wrong direction.” We urge local legislators to immediately call for an end to the contract discussions between ICE and CCA and prevent the Youngstown prison from becoming an ICE detention center.

The U.K. music industry remains one of the most heavily-hit cultural sectors to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. After a booming 2019, which saw the it contribute a record £5.8billion (approximately $8billion USD) to the U.K. economy and reach an all-time high of employment, 2020 was a sharp jolt.
According to a “Music By Numbers 2020” report commissioned by U.K. Music, the sector lost around 85-percent of its live revenue across the year following cancellations, while music creators themselves faced losses of up to 80-percent of their predicted income. These cancelled events also sent waves across the music magazine sector, with the likes of Q, Crack, Loud and Quiet and more missing out on valuable paid advertisements that are usually guaranteed around festival season, and contributing to their collapse. And, of course, almost every music festival slated for 2020 was postponed, and postponed again, before being cancelled. The economic effects of that have been devastating for organisers.
The Association of Independent Festivals — an organisation that represents 65 festivals across the U.K. — reported that the cost of cancelling its 2020 events put the majority of their clientele into severe financial hardship. Refunds of up to £800million (approximately $1billion USD) were due as a result of the cancellations, while non-refundable overhead costs reached on average £375,000 (approximately $510,000 USD). While many of the larger festivals are able to survive such damning financial hits for one year at least, many others aren’t so lucky and are facing closure if they haven’t already. Even the country’s most iconic festival has been left with its future uncertain.
Now, though, a vaccine and subsequent roll-out plan has culminated in a light at the end of the COVID tunnel and a glimmer of hope for many. Last week, Dr Anthony Fauci told a conference held by the Association of Performing Arts Professionals that he believed festivals could make a return in the U.S. “some time in the fall of 2021”, while an earlier date and at least 14million vaccinations are set to be received across the United Kingdom by February. This ambitious roll-out is already well underway, with the government even admitting they’re “hopeful” the country can have a “Great British summer”.
While vaccinations remain the main concern in festivals going ahead this summer, social distancing and similar preventative measures will most likely remain in place, resulting in what’s expected to be an all-round new festival experience for everyone.
John Giddings, who runs Isle of Wight Festival, last week took to Twitter to offer his services on ensuring vaccinations stay on track. He tweeted: “Dear Boris Johnson. We are the music business – we have thousands of skilled people capable of running events and empty theatres/clubs/arena. Give us the vaccines and we will work 24 hours a day to sort it?”
“I think you’d probably need 50% of the audience to be vaccinated, and for 50% to be able to get a test in a very short period of time”.
While many took the Tweet to be a lighthearted Giddings himself confirmed he was entirely serious, and was keen to help out where they could in order to save the U.K. ‘s music industry. “I was lying in bed last night thinking: why don’t I do something as opposed to waiting for people to tell me what to do?’” he told NME in a recent interview. “I sent out a tweet saying that I’ve got thousands of people who know what they’re doing and hundreds of empty venues.”
Despite the efforts being made, many festivals across the U.K. like Parklife and Mighty Hoopla have already postponed their events to later in the year in a hope of increasing the chances it goes ahead, with the chance of another cancellation potentially fatal.
“I think you’d probably need 50% of the audience to be vaccinated, and for 50% to be able to get a test in a very short period of time,” Giddings continued. “I don’t think that’s unrealistic. Isle Of Wight Festival is six months away, it’s not tomorrow. I just want to help accelerate the process”.
George Pritchard, Head of Events and Talent at Defected Records, thinks we need to learn from other countries and how they run their own events. The London-based record label is behind the popular Defected Croatia that’s held yearly in the south of the country — an event they’re positive will take place this year.
“We are super confident it will go ahead,” he told HYPEBEAST. “It’s all outdoors. Croatia had some events last year, all within COVID restrictions, so they’re doing something right. Although last year didn’t happen, we survived. Two years in a row though will be very damaging for us as a brand and those that follow us”.
“A huge amount of festivals are independent and if they fall on hard times, they’ll ultimately be lost”.
Another country to be leading the charge on COVID-safe festivals is Spain, who in December ran a test event that saw over 1,000 people attend the Barcelona-based trial. Organised by the company behind the famous Primavera Sound, PRIMA-CoV, as it was named, ensured attendees had to pass a rapid COVID test upon entry, before being moved into designated areas for dancing and standing, as well as socially-distanced refreshments and toilets. While this approach resulted in none of the attendees testing positive for the virus within 14 days of the festival, the question begs as to how well it can be scaled up.
On what consequences it could have for the U.K. festival industry should the virus result in another year of cancellations, Jamie Tagg, one of the organisers of London-based festival Mighty Hoopla said: “It will cause long-term damage to the industry with fewer live options available to audiences. It will put a lot of pressure on the supply chain for those that do survive too. A huge amount of festivals are independent and if they fall on hard times, they’ll ultimately be lost”.
Although there are ways to live alongside COVID, the recent vaccine announcements have given music lovers a glimmer of hope that festivals needn’t change. Events like Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds are yet to make a decision soon on the fate of their 2021 events, with many waiting on updates regarding the vaccine roll-out. If all goes as planned, a host of large-scale events have a big chance of taking place this summer, if it doesn’t, however, and we face further cancellations, it could signal the end for some of the U.K.’s most exciting independent events, and British summer as we know it.

After fifteen years performing together around the world and carrying on the family’s musical traditions, The von Trapps; Sofia, Melanie, Amanda and August, are closing this chapter in their lives as full-time musicians to pursue individual dreams and interests.
The von Trapps are the great-grandchildren of the family depicted in the musical, The Sound of Music. Their extensive career has taken them everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to Beijing’s Forbidden City to Carnegie Hall; they have performed with Wayne Newton, Rufus Wainwright and many major symphonies across the globe.

While in the studio with Pink Martini, the four siblings began to write original material. In 2015, they released Dancing in Gold, an EP of original songs inspired by their travels as young adults.
In a celebration of new beginnings the The von Trapps will be throwing a final farewell concert at Star Theater on May 3rd (cake-lover Melanie von Trapp’s birthday) in their hometown, Portland Oregon.
“Our family story as been shared in nearly every corner of the world. It has been a surreal honor to continue this musical tradition and be a part of such a hopeful message to the world for these last 15 years. We want to thank our family and friends who have supported and encouraged us throughout all of these adventures.”

The UAE may only be 47 years old but people have been inhabiting this region for thousands of years.
Bedouin traditions are engrained in the culture of the UAE and new research into an archaeological site in Al Ain has given insight into how people in Abu Dhabi lived over 3,000 years ago.
The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCTA) has discovered methods of cooking, house-building techniques, the crops farmed and evidence of communal activities at the ancient settlement and UNESCO World Heritage site, Hili 2.
The site, originally excavated in the 1970s and '80s, features a number of well-preserved houses that formed an ancient village.
Among the most recent discoveries are tannour ovens, used for cooking and preparing communal meals, the presence of wheat and dates, stamped and marked pottery and evidence of bricks made from pre-formed moulds to construct walls.
Incredibly, despite being 3,000 years old, many of the bricks contain fingerprints and experts may be able to estimate how many people inhabited the village at the time of construction.
Commenting on the latest discoveries, Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of DCTA says: “The ancient people of Hili created a vibrant and successful society using techniques such as the falaj, which continue in use until this day.
“We have also gained insight into aspects of their day-to-day lives; the tools used to cook meals for their families and which crops they were tending to out in the fields.
“Our heritage has profound cultural value, not only at national level, but also at global level, and the discoveries at Hili 2 are especially valuable as it is one of the sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List, where we are working to preserve this heritage for humanity.
“The discoveries at Hili 2 bring previously unknown details about our past to light, for us and for future generations to marvel at, study and learn from.”
What a discovery.

Both General Motors and Ford Motor Co. will be employing the low rolling resistance tires in 2009 model cars. The entire Ford compact SUV line, for example, will be using the technology, reports The Detroit News. Expected improvements are in the 1-2mpg range in highway driving, depending on the vehicle and the previously specified factory tire. The gains aren't enormous, but as Scott Miller, GM's vehicle performance manager for full-size hybrid trucks said, "Every bit helps."
The low-resistance tires work by flexing less as they roll, meaning less energy is absorbed by the tire's carcass as heat and more is transmitted directly to the road as forward motion. Downsides of the tires include higher cost and somewhat reduced grip thanks in part to the different compound and in part to slightly higher tire pressures, though wet performance is claimed to still be 'solid'. GM doesn't recommend taking the tires offroad, however.

And last but not least is my tandem bike. Hubby and I rode 10 miles on it last night around the Longview Lake bike trails in our neighborhood. Ten miles!! We outdid ourselves for sure.

It would seem that the frame and some bits on my re5m has been repainted/powder coated in the past. The frame has a gloss black finish, as does most of the non chrome parts. Some of the smaller parts have suffered/gone rusty over the years...... the engine mounting brackets are poor.
So I am wondering what was the original finish on the frame. I have a couple of suzuki gt750/550 and these frames are not gloss but may have been when new. And are now just faded. But they look more of a satin black.
I know there are endless shades of black...... but was the frame on the re5 really gloss black. I am going to get most of the smaller frame parts powder coated..... if the frame is the wrong finish then I might (maybe might) have everything redone. I am not much of a fan of powder coating but there does seem to be places that can give a finish that "looks" like stove enamel or paint.
I've been restoring my GT/GS bike frames to Satin Black.
Some years back I bought a very original A model with 4,000 miles on it. Stored indoors its whole life, most of it in impeccable conditions.
The frame looked satin. But giving it a thorough clean, I removed a couple of those triangular black engine mounting brackets. While the sides you could see (ie most exposed to light) looked satin, the inside surface of the plates were gloss black.
From this I suspect that the whole frames were probably once gloss black and they fade to a satin finish.
I presume the re5 is the same as the gt750... All parts are gloss except the top yoke and handlebar clamps which are satin black. I agree that the bikes may have been gloss when new but both my gt550's & gt750 look almost satin now. And an cb550 frame I had powder coated in gloss black looks too good. Too bright and new. I think a slight matt black almost fits better. I think I will have the small parts powder coated black and leave the rest as is.
The top yoke on my 8000 klm RE5M that I bought in 1980 was gloss. All my GT750 mates reckoned it must have been repainted. No way, I bought it from the original owner who parked it in less than 12 months of ownership and hadn't touched it 'til I bought it in '80. They're not the same as the GT.
Sydney, Australia. The new leaner, trimmer shed: RE5M, RE5A, GSX1100EX, GL1800/Champion sidecar
Interestingly the top yoke on my re5 is gloss black.... so it could actually be right. I assumed it had been resprayed. The bike had been off the road since 1982.... stuffed in a barn with dozens of other interesting bikes.
So, in its shortish life on the road (1975-82) did it get a complete re-paint??. Its missing the headstock label which in the UK is usually a sign that the frame has been powder coated or repainted.
If the top yoke is supposed to be gloss black then I may as well leave it alone.
Looking at the pics in the thread "New RE5- reference photos." it looks like the Front fork cover (p/n 51871-37000) is satin black... mine was rough and has been polished back to metal... Was this also gloss black? or the mythical satin.
It seems that the p/n for the top yoke is 51311-31700-019 with the last 3 digits giving the paint code which is gloss black. Its a shame Suzuki dont give these paint code for other items like the exhaust covers and Front fork cover and the radiator etc. But that would make life too easy

With the growing demand for the consumption of healthier products, as well as the constant recommendations from health authorities and nutritionists to increase the consumption of vegetable protein, the consumption of beans and chickpeas is becoming more and more present in the diet of Portuguese consumers. The convenience of shelf stable beans assists in meeting this demand.
Consumption of frozen fruit has been growing in Portugal. Such products are a very convenient solution in the preparation of juices and desserts.
A high number of consumers have continued to spend more time at home through either lockdowns or having lost their jobs, leading to increased home-cooking. Initially, this was due to closures of foodservice channels, including hotels, restaurants, and workplace and school canteens.
Although processed fruit and vegetables will continue to see competition from fresh variants over the forecast period, with fresh products often more affordable and perceived as healthier by retaining their vitamins and minerals due to not being processed, there are still some vegetables whose sales in canned or frozen formats are preferred for convenience reasons, such as mushrooms, corn and pulses such as beans, chickpeas, lentils, and green peas. The concern with healthy eating has led consumers to increase their consumption of products such as canned beans and chickpeas.
Foodservice channels continue to face severe challenges with recovery still expected to be slow. Several months of closures have been followed by a steep decline in the number of consumers, both tourists and nationals, visiting on-trade channels.
With the post-COVID-19 economic crisis and lower consumer purchasing power, it is expected that there will be an increase in the weight of private label in the shopping basket. In some categories of processed fruit and vegetables, private label ranges are the leaders, as in the case of shelf stable beans, tomatoes, among others.

TED is a complex autoimmune disease that can result in vision loss, disfigurement, and decreased QoL. Developments in our understanding of the pathophysiology of TED have led to a paradigm shift in TED management. Traditionally, corticosteroids, radiation therapy, and surgical correction were the mainstays of treatment. In 2020, the FDA approved teprotumumab for the treatment of TED after pivotal phase 2 and 3 RCTs showed significant improvement in proptosis, diplopia, QoL, and CAS. Teprotumumab is a promising therapy for patients with active moderate to severe TED, particularly for patients with proptosis and/or diplopia. Long-term efficacy studies are still needed to better assess the durability of all treatment options available. Several emerging treatments are in the pipeline, as research has shifted to the development of additional targeted molecular therapies. It remains to be determined how new therapeutic options will continue to change the treatment paradigm of TED.

Bloemfonten Celtic (Free State) defeated JVW (Gauteng) 1-0 to be crowned 2016 Sasol League National Champions.
The battle took place at the D’Almeida Stadium in Mosselbaai, Western Cape on Sunday, 11 December.
This was a great improvement for the Free State side as they finished in 5th position in 2015.
On paper, JVW looked the stronger of the two as they had five players from the Sasol-sponsored Banyana Banyana team – Yolula Tsawe, Amanda Dlamini, Janine van Wyk, Mamello Makhabane and Nompulelelo Nyandeni, while Celtic only had two – Shiwe Nogwanya and Bambanani Mbane.
With no goals at the break, it seemed the game was headed for the dreadful penalty shootout, but the Free State made sure they won at their first attempt in the final.
Emily Moholoholo scored the all-important goal in the 70th minute.
She beat Tsawe in the JVW goals and the defence tried to clear the ball but it had already crossed the line and the referee pointed to the centre.
There was jubilation from the Free State side, while dejection could be seen on the faces of the JVW players. Celtic held on to claim their first ever Sasol League National Championship title.
This was their ninth appearance in the tournament but the first time they made the final – and the celebrations clearly showed when the final whistle sounded.
“We didn’t want to let the sponsors Sasol down – we have been coming to this tournament but not winning anything. So we felt this was our time. I would like to congratulate my players on a job well done. They played very well and had great disclipline on the field. They showed they are a professional team – we came here on a mission and now it’s accomplished,” said a jubilant Celtic coach Edwin Lisene.
“There was too much wind today and I told the girls not to play the ball in the air but to knock it around and the plan worked. Now we can safely say we would like to come back and get to the final and win it again, but we need to go back and plan even better – but I am confident we will be back here and defend our title. For now it is celebration time.”
For JVW, regardless of the loss, they have still made great strides.
“I am extremely proud of my team they worked really hard the whole season, we didn’t really aim for this but it came unexpected to all of us. I take my hat off to them for the performance they gave, sadly it was not our day. I am delighted we not only made the National Championship, but are also finalists. We are second in the country and we can only grow from here on,” said captain Van Wyk.
“We have a young team, some of the players are 16 years and our oldest player is 36 – but we have one thing in common, which is football. I am proud of them – we came here to showcase our talent and that is exactly what we did, just a pity we did not get the troph, which we so wanted to win, but we are grateful for what we have achieved, I have no doubt that we will be back next year again more determined.”
