Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

MBABANE – After six gruelling fixtures on Saturday, SwaziBank Cup fans will be treated to a double-header involving giants Mbabane Highlanders and Mbabane Swallows against separate rivals at Somhlolo National Stadium.


Highlanders will be up first against elite rivals Manzini Sea Birds at 1:30pm before Swallows take on Matsapha United in the game of the weekend at 3:30pm.
The teams clash in the last 16 of the 14th edition of the most exciting knockout tournament in the country.


There is still no extra time at this stage of the tournament so should it be level after regular time, they will go straight into the dreaded penalty shootouts.  So far, this was only witnessed in the game between Mbabane Citizen and Matsapha United.
Most of the games are set for Saturday in three venues being Somhlolo National Stadium, King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium in Nhlangano and Manzini Club.

At Somhlolo, Moneni Pirates meet their First Division rivals last season, Tambuti, before they both earned promotion to the top flight. The match kicks off at 1:30pm.


After this match, it will be Green Mamba against an ailing Manzini Wanderers at 3:30pm.
The Nhlangano folk will be grateful to have the King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium play host to army side Young Buffaloes who go head-to-head with Red Lions at 3:30pm. Their match will be preceded by police side Royal Leopard against First Division League rivals Vovovo FC at 1:30pm.


Initially, these two games were billed for the Mavuso Sports Centre but due to the venue’s unavailability on the day, had to be shifted to Nhlangano.  Those in Shiselweni will want to call it a blessing in disguise because they can once again enjoy the SwaziBank Cup games.
