A particularly pleasing dimension of the hotly contested race for the local league's R10 million prize is the unexpected shift in the balance of power - from the big football clubs to the giant-killing minnows.
How the mighty have fallen has been the oft-heard lament from Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates fans during a season that saw the two tradition-steeped sides blow hot and cold most of the time.

Finally glory and riches await the victors; and a mere humble pie for the vanquished.
Winner takes all
