Black Leopards

Two difficult hurdles lie ahead for the Black Leopards

 

Sport  Date: 23 October 2015

 

After dropping three significant league points at home last weekend, Black Leopards are now facing two tricky hurdles. They will travel to Durban tomorrow, where they will fight for league points against Amazulu at the Princess Magogo Stadium. Both Amazulu and Black Leopards lost their matches last weekend.

Amazulu gave away points to FC Cape, to whom they lost 1-2, at the NNK Rugby Stadium in Cape Town. The Leopards’ marksman, Kgabo Mashiane, will be available for selection tomorrow. Mashiane watched their game last Saturday against Mbombela United from the grandstand after seeing red in their game against FC Cape Town at the Thohoyandou Stadium four weeks ago.

The Leopards’ sharpshooter, Ruggert Nyundu, will also be back from a Bafana Bafana call-up.  Nyundu is likely to be in the team’s starting 11, replacing Thembisani Nevhulamba, who was down and out in their game against Mbombela United last Saturday. Thivhavhudzi Ndou, the Leopards’ centre back, is also ready for action tomorrow after missing two matches due to injury.

Lidoda Duvha will host Highlands Park at the Thohoyandou Stadium next Wednesday, 28 October. Also tomorrow, Santos will host African Warriors at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. Thanda Royal Zulu and Witbank Spurs will meet at Umhlatuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Moroka Swallows and Vasco da Gama will lock horns at the Parow Park Stadium. FC Cape Town will fly to Nelspruit, where they will test their strength against Mbombela United at the Kanyamazane Stadium.

The other fixtures for next Wednesday are: Moroka Swallows vs Santos, Witbank Spurs vs Baroka, FC Cape Town vs Cape Town All Stars, African Warriors vs Mbombela United, Milano United vs Amazulu, Royal Eagles vs Vasco da Gama and Mthatha Bucks vs Thanda Royal Zulu.
