Diamond Dominance in the Hollywoodbets League

The JVW Blue Diamonds enjoyed an exceptional 2025 campaign in the Hollywoodbets League, earning multiple nominations at the upcoming Super League Awards on Sunday, 1 February. The recognition underscores a season marked by consistent performances, strong competition, and steady advancement among the league’s leaders.

The Blue Diamonds finished second in the 2025 Hollywoodbets League, behind Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies. This finish marked the club’s highest league placement and confirmed JVW as one of the competition’s top teams.

JVW Blue Diamonds Progress Under Janine Van Wyk

Under Head Coach Janine Van Wyk, the Blue Diamonds developed tactical maturity and strong squad cohesion. Her leadership guided the team to perform consistently and compete at the highest level.

Van Wyk’s influence earned her a Coach of the Year nomination; moreover, her strategies, player development focus, and structured game approach played a major role in the club’s success.

JVW Players Earn Recognition Across the League

Several JVW players were nominated for individual awards in recognition of their 2025 performances:

• Kaylin Swart earned a Goalkeeper of the Year nomination 
• Boitumelo Rasehlo secured a Defender of the Year nomination
• Robyn Moodaly and Jessica Wade both received Midfielder of the Year nominations 

Bonolo Mokoma’s Breakthrough Season

At the start of the season, seventeen-year-old Bonolo Mokoma moved from defense to attack under Coach Janine Van Wyk. As a result, she quickly adapted to her new responsibilities.

From the outset, her talent shone, and ultimately she finished as the league’s second-highest goalscorer in 2025. Consequently, her performances earned nominations for Young Player, Player, and Players’ Player of the Year.

Players’ Player Nominations Highlight Peer Respect

The Players’ Player of the Year award is voted for by fellow league players, reflecting recognition across the league. The Blue Diamonds dominate this category, with two of the three nominees representing the club.

Bonolo and Jessica earned nominations in this category, underlining the respect they have earned from players across the Hollywoodbets Super League.

A Landmark Season for JVW

Nominations across coaching, defence, midfield, goalkeeping, youth, and peer-voted categories highlight the squad’s depth. Furthermore, the recognition confirms the club’s upward trajectory and growing competitive identity.

As the Super League Awards approach, the JVW Blue Diamonds can reflect on a season that set new standards and built strong foundations for the future.
