Unfortunately this was overshadowed when it was discovered on an audio recording that Wallaroos coaches Dwayne Nestor and Matt Tink had used "unacceptable language" and have since resigned. In South Africa's Premier Division, DHL Western and the Border Ladies have confirmed their spots in the playoffs and Kenya was shocked in the Africa’s Cup as they were upset 27-15 by Madagascar; they will play again next week.
