The Premier Soccer League has revealed its delight in the Western Cape High Court's decision to dismiss an urgent application from Chippa United to stop the promotion/relegation play-offs.

It was revealed that the Chilli Boys had gone to court to interdict the play-offs but the league filed opposing papers. The judge overseeing the matter then dismissed the case this evening, and the play-off match between Santos and Mpumalanga Black Aces has continued as planned.

A statement from the PSL read, "The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has welcomed the decision by the Western Cape High Court this evening to dismiss an urgent application by Chippa United.

"Chippa United filed papers at the Western Cape High Court today to interdict the on-going Promotion Play-offs. In response, the PSL filed opposing papers. Chippa United’s application was dismissed by the Judge this evening."

PSL Head of Legal, Advocate Ntsietso Mofokeng, added in the statement, “We welcome this decision from the Western Cape High Court as we believe it is the correct outcome. We can now go back to football tonight.”
