UJ Ladies head coach Baloyi upset by the unavailability of referees

University of Johannesburg women's football team coach Jabulile Baloyi isn't impressed with how the National Women's League is managed.

On Tuesday, the league match between Touch Ladies and UJ Ladies started 90 minutes late because of the unavailability of referees for the newly-launched professional league in South Africa.

And Baloyi feels this can't be the way to go if women's football is to grow in this country.

"We can't be treated this way... We can't, we can't. Regardless of gender and everything but we cannot," said Baloyi in an interview with SABC Sport.

"We know that we are desperate as women's football to have a proper Premier League and such things are happening.
