Leopards want to start league with a bang

 

Sport  Date: 10 August 2012

 

Black Leopards intend to start their 2012/13 Absa Premiership campaign with a bang when they host Bloemfontein Celtic at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane tomorrow afternoon.

Leopards lost 0-2 to both Orlando Pirates and Bloemfontein Celtic in their first two league matches last season, something which the team’s general manager, Mr Sam Khaphathe, says it will never happen again. He reiterated the fact that the Caf Confederation matches, which they played during the off season, was a blessing in disguise to them, saying that kept the players fit throughout the off season.

In the other PSL matches that will also be played tomorrow, Free State Stars will host Bidvest Wits at the Goble Park Stadium, while Amazulu will entertain Kaizer Chiefs at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. Both Amazulu and Kaizer Chiefs are still in shock after losing last weekend's MTN matches. Chiefs lost 1-4 to Mamelodi Sundowns. while Amazulu were beaten 1-2 by Moroka Swallows.

The premiership rookies, Chippa United, will play their first league match against Mamelodi Sundowns at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.

Two matches will be played this evening. Orlando Pirates will host Lamontville Golden Arrows at the Orlando Stadium  and Supersport United will take on Ajax Cape Town at the Cape Town Stadium.

Sunday will see the University of Pretoria play against Maritzburg United at the Absa Tuks Stadium, while Moroka Swallows and Platinum Stars will meet at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium.
