Bucs have heavy workload

Following his team's hard-fought victory over SuperSport United in the MTN8 this past weekend, Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro is hoping that the Buccaneers can carry the momentum into the new Betway Premiership season when it eventually starts.

The Buccaneers beat Matsatsantsa a Pitori 3-1 in a dramatic quarterfinal clash at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday, to continue their quest of being the only team in the Premier Soccer League to win the cup competition three times in a row.

With start to the league delayed for weeks and only likely to start on the weekend of 14 and 15 September, and with the Buccaneers also set to play in the Caf Champions League preliminary round this month, Riveiro has emphasised the importance of planning well for the new season.
