Carling Knockout quarterfinals
Double headers are not a common occurrence in South African football these days, and so when the PSL confirmed the dates, venues and times for the Carling Knockout quarterfinals last week, there must have been more than a few eyebrows raised when the reality hit home that there were two fixtures on the same day at the same venue. Especially because Orlando Pirates, who are fast making a name for themselves as the cup kings of South African footy, are set to be involved in one of the matches. Saturday 4 November is going to be a memorable day for the fans, for besides the fact that Bucs will be facing unfancied Richards Bay FC, there will be the small matter of the KZN Derby between AmaZulu FC and Golden Arrows. You don’t wanna be anywhere else. In this preview, focusing mostly on the double header, Soccer Laduma’s Tshepang Mailwane talks to the relevant people to discuss some of the talking points.
