‘BIRDS’ MSHOLOZI, NDABA, GOSHEN TO FACE PL. STARS

MBABANE – Mbabane Swallows will be boosted by the presence of new signees Siyabonga ‘Msholozi’ Mdluli, Gabriel Goshen and Ndumiso Ndaba when they face South Africa’s Platinum Stars.

The second match of group B in the CAF Confederation Cup is billed for Tuesday at 3pm. The players couldn’t feature in the 1-0 defeat to Tunisia’s CS Sfaxien.
National Football Association of Swaziland (NFAS) Marketing and Communications Officer Muzi Radebe confirmed yesterday that the players were now fully registered with ‘The Birds’.

Swallows boosted their squad after reaching the group stages for the first time by signing the three players from Green Mamba, Tambuti and Midas City.
The club will also welcome back the trio of Banele ‘Pupu’ Sikhondze, Sifiso Mabila and Richard Macreesh who were serving the yellow card rule. Macreesh was serving a two match ban after a straight red card in the match against AC Leopards.

“The Confederations of African Football (CAF) confirmed that the players have been registered and can now play in any match for Mbabane Swallows,” Radebe said.
Mbabane Swallows players who have to be careful not to receive a yellow card are Xolani ‘Tyson’ Magagula and Wonder ‘Samba Jive’ Nhleko, who were both booked in Tunisia on Saturday evening.
According to the CAF rules and regulations, a player serves a one match ban after accumulating two yellow cards.

Zimbabwean referees will be in charge of the game. The referee on the day will be Norman Matemara with Salani Ncube being first assistant and Luckson Mhara being the second assistant.
Swallows are at the bottom of the four-team log after the 1-0 defeat while Platinum Stars third with a point with MC Alger after they settled for a draw on Sunday in their opening match.
