‘TIGER’ BOOST FOR ‘BIRDS’, LEOPARD CLASH

MBABANE – Mbabane Swallows attacking midfielder Neliswa ‘Tiger’ Dlamini looks set to be available for the clash against Royal Leopard tomorrow.

The two sides face off in the MTN Premier League, a match scheduled for Mavuso Sports Centre at 3pm. ‘Tiger’ was nabbed by the yellow card rule after having accumulated three yellow cards, which led to the former Manzini Wanderers player watching his side defeat Denver Sundowns from the side lines.  He missed the match played at Prince of Wales Sports Ground last week when Swallows won 1-0.

News coming from the Umkhonto KaShaka camp is that he will be available for selection against Leopard. Swallows General Manager (GM) Sandile ‘Beyond 2000’ Zwane said the return of Tiger was positive news for the club. “We are happy to have him back in the team and his return will definitely give the coach many options as we want a win tomorrow against Leopard. It is very important for the club to win. The team has been working hard since the start of the week and the only setback with regards to injuries is Leon Manyisa. We believe he will potentially be out for the last game too,’’ he said.

He also said the likes of veteran stars Wonder ‘Samba Jive’ Nhleko and Tony ‘TT’ Tsabedze would also be available after a few games out due to injury. Meanwhile, Leopard will be without striker Thembisa Shabangu, who is suspended after accumulating three yellow cards.
