    WHAT HAPPENED?

    The DDC Fixture has been released ahead of the kick-off this weekend.

    The lower tier allows youngsters to sharpen up before dining with the big boys in the Premier Soccer League or the second-tier.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    On Saturday, a total of four matches will be played; Magesi FC will be hosting Sekhukhune United, while Marumo Gallants will be making a trip to TS Galaxy.

    The other two matches will be between Orlando Pirates and Durban City, with Golden Arrows entertaining Richards Bay.

    The defending champions Kaizer Chiefs will be up against Orbit College on Sunday as Polokwane City tackle Chippa United, Mamelodi Sundowns face Siwelele, and AmaZulu clash with Stellenbosch.

    WHEN IS THE SOWETO DERBY

    The first Soweto derby between old rivals Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will be staged at the Dobsonville Stadium on Sunday, November 16.

    Bucs will then host Amakhosi on Sunday, March 29, at the UJ Soweto Campus.

    Last season, the Glamour Boys did a double over the Sea Robbers, winning 2-1 and 1-0 respectively; the latter will be aiming at avenging the losses.

  • WHAT NEXT?

    Orlando Pirates hope their new attacker, Joy Manana, who has been dubbed the 'new Mofokeng', will emulate the Bafana Bafana youngster and deliver for the DDC team before getting a chance with the senior team.

    However, Amakhosi are targeting one thing: going all the way once again to get crowned.
