The countdown to the Diski Shield is here with the first games taking place this weekend. We play against Chippa United in the first of our ‘Coastal West’ clashes in this new and exciting competition.
We will want to pick up from where we left off in the diski Challenge competition, and look to continue our winning ways in the opening game.
The players are hungry to dominate the competition and are aware that every team would like to be the side to progress to be dubbed ‘Ubani Ibhoza Ngakini?’ (The Boss of the Hood) and progress to the Clash of the Cities stage of the competition.
We last played Chippa in a festival game at King Zwelithini Stadium in December. Although we won the game 2-1 it was a tough game against a very capable side.
Chippa opened the scoring in the first half and maintained pressure on us. Two goals in the second half eventually saw us take the win, but it was a closely contested game that could have gone either way.
There will be festivals in the Shield competition, but unfortunately our game this weekend at Wolfson Stadium is not one of them, and will therefore not be televised.
We will be keeping you up to date with minute by minute information on the game.
