ORBIT COLLEGE IN A RELEGATION FIGHT
The 2024/25 PSL Promotion/Relegation winners’ first season in the top flight has been challenging. The Mswenko Boys enjoyed a promising start with wins over Siwelele FC, Richards Bay, and Magesi FC, including a 3–0 away victory against Golden Arrows in September.
Recent form has been tougher. January saw losses to Mamelodi Sundowns and Chippa United, followed by a 2–2 draw with Polokwane City on 31 January 2026. In cup competitions, their Carling Knockout run ended in extra time against TS Galaxy in October.
Now, Orbit have a chance to create confidence in the Nedbank Cup Round of 32 against Golden Arrows on 7 February 2026.
Sitting 14th in the league, relegation survival is the priority.
