Royal AM is finally in the DStv Premiership after a while of trying but they, unfortunately, lost their first encounter in the league against Swallows FC. Shauwn Mkhize recently bought Bloemfontein Celtic and changed the name of the club.
There was a lot of scrambling to get things started since the sale was confirmed just days before the league kicked off. It's understandable that things didn't get off to a flying start in the beginning. The match was lost 1-0.
