* t reach seventh heaven in Top Eight THE BP Top Eight competition has traditionally been part of the previous season, with the top eight teams in the first division Castle League doing battle. It was first played in 1972. The teams which qualified in terms of the final 1986 log were: Ran gers, Bush Bucks, Kaizer Chiefs, Moroka Swallows, Mamelodi Sun ^ \ downs, Arcadia, Wits University, AmaZulu. The 16th BP Top Eight competi tion, and the third under the effective Abel Shongwe about to shoot against Arcadia control of the National Soccer League, started on January 31 and was played over four weeks, ending on February 21. It is played on a knockout basis. The rules state that each game except the final must be played to a result, with extra time played and penalties taken to decide the outcome, if nec essary. The final is played over two legs and the winner determined on the ag gregate score. If there is no winner on aggregate at the end of normal time in the second leg of the final, extra time is played. If the teams are still deadlocked, the game is replayed, into extra time and with a penalty shootout, if re quired, to obtain a result. The sponsorship for the competi tion was R200 000 - by the British Pe troleum Company. A total of R 130 000 went towards prize money, and R70 000 for administration, travel and public affairs expenses. For the first time, a Man of the Series award was made in the compe tition, the sponsors making a fur ther R1 000 available as a prize. The draw for the first round was;

Mesback Motloung JPS Cup poses serious knockout challenge

THIS competition caught the imagination of the public immediately it was introduced in the NPSL in 1984, when it replaced the Datsun Challenge. It has grown in popularity each year, and for some, was a serious rival to the Mainstay Cup as the NSL’s premier knockout competition. The competition claims to have established a South African spectator record in the 1986 cup final be tween Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows - 100 283 people are said to have packed Ellis Park for the match.
