The National Soccer League (NSL) was a South African football (soccer) league established in 1985, as a response to boardroom disagreements in the new topflight non-racial league NPSL (established in 1978 after a merger between NFL and “NPSL for blacks”). As the NSL accounted for the continuation of the major federation, the remainings of NPSL (known as “new NPSL”), decided after 10 years co-existence in 1985–95, finally to merge with NSL, to form today’s Premier Soccer League (PSL). 1st Division Log Gp Gd Points 1 Sekhukhune Utd 15 +10 24 2 Richards Bay 14 +8 24 3 JDR Stars 15 +5 24 4 Royal AM 15 +2 24 5 Pretoria Callies 14 +1 22 6 Uthongathi 14 +1 21 7 Jomo Cosmos 14 +2 20 8 Cape Umoya 15 -1 19 9 Free State Stars 14 -1 19 10 CT all stars 15 -1 18 11 TS Sporting 15 +1 17 12 Uni.
