Cimone Sauls: 
Ready for a Bigger Role in Her Second Season
Author: John AliuCimone Sauls is preparing to take her game to the next level. Having joined Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies last season, she is now more settled and eager to contribute even more to the Club’s continued success.“The team is very excited to be back. There will always be pressure on us because of the high standards we have set. We have won five straight league titles and we have to keep living up to that standard. We know it is never easy, our focus is on taking it one game at a time.”
With five consecutive Hollywoodbets Super League titles under their belt, Banyana Ba Style is determined to defend their crown and extend their dominance. For Cimone, this season is about building on last year’s experience and helping the team reach new heights.

“Our main goal is to keep our winning streak going and defend our title. We also want to minimize losses and draws—getting three points in every game is the goal. Another big objective is to compete well in the CAF Women’s Champions League, as we want to redeem ourselves and reclaim the title.”

During the off-season, the team has been working hard to ensure they are in the best shape possible. “We focused on physical conditioning, tactical drills and skill development. We have also made some adjustments to our playing strategy and we need to understand and implement those changes in the games ahead.”
For Cimone, personal growth is just as important as team success. “I am excited with the start of the league. I look forward to seeing how teams have improved and competing against new opponents. My goal this season is to get more game time, score or provide assists for as many goals as possible and contribute to the team’s success whenever I get the chance.”
The midfielder has been using the off-season to refine her technical skills and improve her understanding of her role within the team. “I have been working on my technical ability and learning more about my position. Understanding my key responsibilities on the field is crucial for me to succeed.”

As always, the firm support of the Masandawana faithful remains a major source of motivation. “The support from our beloved supporters is crucial—it pushes us to do our best on the field. To our supporters: we love and appreciate every one of you for your loyalty. The season will be full of excitement, and we want you to show up in large numbers on game days to support us..”
With a new season on the horizon, Cimone Sauls is ready to step up, make her mark and help Sundowns Ladies maintain their dominance in South Africa and on the Continent.
