Ajax Cape Town Will Face FC Stellenbosch On New Pitch

Ajax Cape Town Will Face FC Stellenbosch On New Pitch

Ajax Cape Town are set to face National First Division highflyers, Stellenbosch FC, in a friendly at Ikamva this morning (Wednesday).

Interestingly, this encounter is the first match being played on the club's B Field following a lengthy re-surfacing programme.

"It's not a Wembley by any stretch of the imagination," a source told Soccer Laduma. "But we tried to get the ground in the best possible condition as there's such a shortage in Cape Town. Ajax has only been training there since March 1.

"With Stellenbosch in third position, it should be a competitive match. Hopefully they'll put out a decent team as this game's a nice opportunity to give our full-time MDC professionals a run. An internal match is not quite the same."

Stellenbosch's technical director, Steve Barker, is also looking forward to this friendly.

"It'll be good to give the fringe players a run," he said.

In November last year, Stellenbosch first succumbed to a 6-1 defeat in a similar fixture before overpowering the Urban Warriors 3-0.
