Caf return matches for end of month

ALL the return legs for South African representatives in the African club competitions will be played on February 28.

Champions Mamelodi Sundowns will host St Michel United of the Seychelles in Atteridgeville in the second leg of their first-round tie after an embarrassing 1-1 away draw against the island part timers on Saturday.

Kaizer Chiefs and Bidvest Wits will travel away, albeit on relatively short bus journeys across a single border.

Chiefs take their slender 2-1 lead over Township Rollers to Gaborone's recently refurbished National Stadium on the same day when the match will kick off at 3pm.

A capacity 25 000-strong crowd is expected to cheer on the home team as they attempt to cause a major upset and oust Amakhosi from the Champions League.

Wits will likely rest key players as they go to Swaziland's Somhlolo Stadium at the same time for their Confederation Cup assignment with Royal Leopards.

Wits won 3-0 in the first leg at home in Saturday's first leg with Sthembiso Ngcobo scoring twice against the Swazi policemen.

Orlando Pirates have a bye directly into the second round, which is being played on the weekends of March 13-15 and April 3-5.

The Buccaneers take on either Uganda Revenue Authority or Elgeco Plus of Madagascar.
