Line-up for Carling Cup revealed
JOBURG - The D-Day has arrived to sort the men from the boys on Saturday when the two Soweto giants clash in a titanic match for the coveted Carling Black Label Cup 2013.
Players for today, 27 July’s Carling Black Label Cup at the FNB Stadium, have been revealed after a record 22,2 million votes cast.
The people have spoken and and it’s up to the chosen players to deliver the goods for their fans in this precursor to the league opener, which will see the Soweto giants, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs battle it out for supremacy in the historic township.
The match will be played at a sold-out FNB Stadium and watched by millions more at home, hoping to see their selected side to victory.
Those chosen for Pirates include Senzo Meyiwa, Happy Jele, Rooi Mahamutsa, Lucky Lekgwathi, Thabo Matlaba, Siyabonga Sangweni (though injured and will not play), Sifiso Myeni, Oupa Manyisa, Andile Jali, Tlou Segolela, and upfront Ndumiso Mabena and Zambian hitman Collins Mbesuma.
Kaizer Chiefs, on the other hand, will be represented by their captain Itumeleng Khune (making him the most favourite player having singularly secured over 2,6 million votes overall), Siboniso Gaxa, Tefu Mashamaite, Erick Mathoho, Tsepo Masilela, Josta Dladla, Reneilwe Letsholonyane.
Others include the evergreen Siphiwe Tshabalala, George Lebese, while upfront Bernard Parker and Lehlohonolo Majoro will lead the strike force. Knowledge Musona might come in as a substitute, having been signed a few weeks well into the voting season.
The gates open at 10am and the match kicks off at 15:30.
