MAMBA OUT TO ADD TO WANDERERS’ WOES

If one was asked to depict the life at Manzini Wanderers, I would do the best impression of a smiling man with tears of sadness in his eyes.

As ama-2000s would coin it, happy pictures of a sad generation, so to speak. Having started the season in trailblazing fashion, the ‘Weslians’ are now besieged by internal challenges concerning players’ welfare which have translated to powder-puff performances on the pitch. As a result, the hub giants are winless in four consecutive games with the last win being a scrappy 2-1 victory over Milling Hot Spurs on April 10.

Wounded

Last Saturday’s 1-all draw with Moneni Pirates was the fourth draw of the season. Today they come up against a wounded Green Mamba still licking its wounds after suffering a deflating 0-1 loss to Young Buffaloes on Saturday at Mayaluka Stadium. Caleb Ngwenya’s charges will be hoping to make amends against the faltering maroon and white outfit. Wanderers after a promising start to the season including the famous December 18, 2020 2-1 win over Mbabane Swallows have gone over the boil. Anything other than a win against Green Mamba today will certainly mean once again they will watch from the sidelines as the rest of the top six teams battle it out for the first round E350 000 ‘carrot’. The pressure is mounting on coach Nyanga ‘Crooks’ Hlophe, whose media utterances have not won him many admirers within the Wanderers camp.

But Wanderers face a wounded Green Mamba who will be looking at nothing but redemption against a side they have got the better of in the last decade. It’s the main match of an interesting double header at King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium this afternoon.
