IT’S ALL OR NOTHING FOR LEOPARD

FIXTURE: Sea Birds vs Leopard
VENUE: Mavuso Sports Centre
TIME: 2pm
Royal Leopard go into this match knowing they cannot allow any slip-up at this
stage of the competition, if they still nurse hopes of wrestling the title from
firm favourites, Mbabane Swallows.
They will go to the tie under pressure, knowing the results of their title
rivals who played Umbelebele later yesterday evening.
Young coach Sifiso Nuro Ntibane has demonstrated great character in his first
season in charge of the team, but he has to be warned that more storms are still
coming as the title race gets tougher and tougher with about six teams in the
race. Games of this nature are where he should rake all points, but Sea Birds
will also be fighting for their own survival as they are in great danger of the
chop at the end of the season.
A point against Leopard would give them the confidence they require to move out
of the relegation zone, while for Leopard anything less than the maximum points
will surely spell disaster.
