BUCS AND SUNDOWNS KEEP MIDWEEK FIXTURES

BOTH Orlando Pirates and Sundowns are keeping their midweek fixtures, despite their Rothmans Cup semifinal showdown at Soccer City on Saturday. Tomorrow night the Bucs kick off against SuperSport United at Soccer City. Tomorrow afternoon the Brazilians face Bloemfontein Celtic at the Free State Rugby Stadium. “Sundowns players are full-time professionals who should be able to play three full games in seven days,” said coach Paul Dolezar, who added that his team needs full points against Celtic. Bucs assistant coach Ronald Mkandawire has also indicated that the Pirates need points from the midweek clash. Also on the cards for tomorrow night is the match between Hellenic and Kaizer Chiefs at Johannesburg Stadium. Jomo Cosmos meet Wits at Vosloorus Staidum at 4pm.
