KZN rivals Arrows and Bay clash at familiar turf in search of first win

The Mercury

|

August 13, 2025

GOLDEN Arrows and Richards Bay will be desperate to get their Betway Premiership campaigns on track when they collide in a KwaZulu-Natal derby at the King Zwelithini Stadium this evening.

- SMISO MSOMI

Both sides lost their league openers, leaving them already under pressure to put early points on the board.

Arrows were beaten by newly promoted Siwelele FC, while Richards Bay fell to Marumo Gallants.

The urgency is shared - neither camp wants to risk an extended winless run this early in the season.

For Arrows, the 2025/26 has begun as a season of transition.

Head coach Mangoba Mnggqithi has assembled a squad brimming with fresh-faced youngsters signed in the off-season.

While the energy and enthusiasm are clear, the chemistry is still developing, particularly in attack where their youthful frontline has yet to click.
