As for the hosts, the score dented their PSL ambitions, but did not kill them off. They now have to defeat the Dube Birds in their final match on Saturday afternoon to ensure that they return to the top-flight.

Swallows has to avoid defeat in that match at the very least, as well as against All Stars next week to unsure that they remain in the DStv Premiership for the next campaign. A victory in either fixture will automatically do this for them, too.
