2000 BP Top 8

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The BP Top 8 2000 was the 26th edition of the competition, then known as the BP Top 8 for sponsorship reasons,[1][2] featuring the top 8-placed teams at the conclusion of the Premiership season.

It was won for the seventh time by Orlando Pirates, who defended their title won in 1996.[3] The competition had not been held since that year after the Premier Soccer League removed it from the calendar due to overcrowding.[4]
