MANZINI – It was a comedy of football errors as Mbabane and Manzini pastors curtain- raised for Saturday’s Bible Society Cup.


The second edition of the Bible Society initiative was won by Manzini Wanderers, beating cross town rivals Manzini Sundowns 2-0 courtesy of strikes from either side of the half by the impressive Ali Matse and Congolese wing wizard Mike Dombo.  


Mbabane pastors came from behind to win the curtain raiser 5-3 after penalty shoot-outs. It was entertainment galore at the Mavuso Sports Centre with Pastor Sikhumbuzo Shongwe of Phumlacashi, a late second half substitute, sending the over 3 000 in attendance into frenzy with silky skills.


Pastor Hlatshwako, the livewire of Manzini, put his team ahead from the spot kick before Pastor Simon Nhlengetfwa cancelled it out with a 25-yard screamer to send the game into penalty shoot-outs. Premier League Match Commissioner Esrom Dlamini missed the first spot kick for Mbabane but the men of God from the capital city finally won the match.
NB: Each half was 30 minutes
