Goalkeeper Mark Kapman put in an outstanding performance to help Fortune to victory in a First Division soccer game in Kimberley yesterday.

The FC Fortune team is making a strong bid for promotion.

Kapman managed to block out the striking efforts of Pescod's George Pienaar and Ronnie Cloete.

The winning goal came midway in the first half when striker Brent Adonis netted his fourth of the season.

In midfield for Fortune, captain Leon Ganger, Mark Faro, Ashley Hartog and Serge Simon did well to contain the home side.

In another First Division game Park United scored a 4-3 win over Royal Tigers in Port Elizabeth.
