SOCCER – Fresh from winning the MTN Premier League E100 000 first-round incentive, the real business ultimately bagging the ‘Holy Grail’ of local football begins against Mbabane Highlanders on Sunday for Young Buffaloes.
Buffaloes are yet to test defeat this campaign and played to a draw in the corresponding first-round clash against the ‘Bull’, as Highlanders are fondly called.
On the second spot Green Mamba will play host to ambitious Nsingizini Hotspurs on the same day in a game scheduled for KaLanga Stadium.
The action begins on Friday in the MTN National First Division with a potential thriller between Ludzeludze Killers and Pigg’s Peak Black Swallows at Manzini Club while promotion hopefuls Ezulwini United will welcome rookies Louis XIV at Prince of Wales Ground.
