Kickoff (Cape Town)
3 October 2008
The Premier Soccer League has announced that the Absa Premiership match between Free State Stars and Bay United, that was scheduled to take place tomorrow (Saturday), commencing at 15h30, will now be played on Sunday, at the Welkom Rugby Stadium.
The fixture was rescheduled after it was discovered that the Goble Park pitch, which was recently re-laid, was not ready to host any football games yet.
The change has not affected United's coach Vladislav Heric, who says, "I am very happy with the way our preparations are going so far and we will be aiming to pull out all stops and return with maximum points from Bethlehem.
"It will be a big game for us. We need to continue improving going forward into the season, whether we play big teams or small ones.
"Every game counts and we need to play in all of them the same way and go into the game with the same attitude," the coach added.
Heric is not likely to make any major changes in order to continue with the team's momentum.
The likes of Siyabulela Songwiqi and Luntu Mazana will cause problems for Ea Lla Koto, with Jimmy Zakazaka and Abeyoni Adebayo being a nuisance for the Stars defence, while hard-tackling captain Duran Francis will without doubt be a difficult wall to climb for the Stars' attack.
