Cape Town Spurs continue their quest for a first PSL win this season against former Urban Warrior Mabhuti Khenyeza’s Golden Arrows.
Spurs captain Clayton Daniels is determined to rally his manskappe as they look to finally break their duck when Shaun Barlett’s rock-bottom span, who are still without a single log point after five games, host the KZN side at Athlone Stadium in a 7.30pm showdown.
Khenyeza’s Abafana Bes’thende are flying high in second on the log, with 11 points after six games played.

But Daniels says his manne have been working hard during the international break and are ready to haak af on his former Ajax Cape Town teammate Khenyeza’s team.
He tells Spurs’ media team: “Training has been going really well.
“We have used this break to really focus on a few areas. The energy in the camp is really good.
We asked our captain how the Urban Warriors have been utilising the international break…#CAPETOWNSPURS#URBANWARRIORS#PSL#DSTVPREMIERSHIP#OURYOUTHOURFUTURE#CAPETOWN#SOUTHAFRICA pic.twitter.com/0Q6tjxHbnB
“We’re looking forward to the Golden Arrows game to showcase what we’ve been working on.”
Over in the Wineland at dieselle tyd, Stellenbosch host Moroka Swallows, with Steve Barker’s 11th-placed hosts looking to end a three-match winless run.
They look set to be without stalwart rightback Deano van Rooyen, who suffered a concussion in Saturday’s goalless draw at Arrows and suspended centreback Thabo Moloisane.
