MBABANE – Having one hand on something does not necessarily mean you have got
a better chance than the rest to have it, as is the case for leaders Mbabane
Highlanders in the MTN Premier League standings – they have one hand on the
E200 000 first round incentive as they lead second-placed Royal Leopard by seven
points.
Yes, the defending champions, Leopard, are two games behind but it is not just
any opposition they have in front of them – they take on security forces Young
Buffaloes rivals tomorrow in what is a decisive clash for the former. One result
is intolerable if they will remain on course to wrestle Highlanders for the
incentive at stake, they cannot afford to lose – it invaded them in the final
game last time and Buffaloes took it, thanks to Manzini Wanderers who deprived
the champions of a much-needed win.
leapfrog
If they lose, Highlanders will be first round kings even before playing Leopard
in the closing match of the round which is why tomorrow matters for Leopard and
Highlanders as well, while Buffaloes want know they will leapfrog their rivals
with win tomorrow and take the second spot.
