Hanover Park FC’s “Waanie” gives rationale behind head coach Bradley Barnes’ appointment


I must admit I was rather surprised when Hanover Park FC owner Rieduwaan Anthonly appointed Bradley Barnes as their new head coach for his ABC Motsepe League side to succeed Anwar Gallant.

Saxon Rovers could not have asked for a more fitting fixture to make their ABC Motsepe League Second Division debut – a home tie against archrivals FN Rangers.

“HP first up will be a major test,” says Ikapa’s Ryklief ahead of league opener at new Ikamva home venue


There seems to be an aura of confidence, not arrogance, amongst the Ikapa Sporting FC faithful – and perhaps understandably so. A new home venue at Ikamva, where they will be a tenant at their ABC Motsepe League rivals, Cape Town Spurs’ home for the new season. No Bones with Jones understands that Ikapa will for […]
