Competition: South Africa First Division
Date: Sat 13.April

Venue: Athlone Stadium

Ubuntu Cape Town hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 25 points and a 15th position in the First Division table. Visiting Richards Bay holds 6th place with 39 pts.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Richards Bay have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
