MBABANE – Yet another preseason international practice match was on the cards
for Mbabane Highlanders on Tuesday afternoon.
Destined for their first in nine years inter-club competition, the TOTALEnergies
Confederation Cup in nine years, Highlanders, also known as Inkunz’emnyama,
had been spending time in South Africa this preseason where they have played and
lost some big practice matches against Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
Their last match was last Sunday in Rustenburg while Gallants were next on
schedule. “We had to travel yesterday (on Tuesday) to play another practice
match with Marumo Gallants, but after some considerations, the technical bench
advised against attending the game. They felt we should work on the Bible Cup
preparations here as it’s only this weekend,” Highlanders’ Public
Relations Officer (PRO) Mandla Madonsela said.
Prepare
He said the technical bench led by Selaotse Mosala wanted to make their
assessments and prepare well for the Bible Society Cup slated for Mavuso Sports
Centre on Saturday. Highlanders play against Denver Sundowns in the second
semifinal while it will be the tournament’s treble champions Manzini Wanderers
against hub rivals Moneni Pirates at 9am opening the show on its fourth edition.
It makes a return two years later since COVID-19 halted it. Madonsela said he
could not name the players they were assessing at the moment but they were
mainly from the regions.
