BARKER DISMISSES CLAIMS THAT THE BUCS WILL BE UNDERCOOKED IN FINAL OF MTN8

- BY SMISO MSOMI

STELLENBOSCH FC coach Steve Barker has dismissed suggestions that Orlando Pirates’ busy national team involvement ahead of the MTN8 final will give his span an advantage.

The Buccaneers are set to go into tomorrow’s 6pm clash at Mbombela Stadium with min preparation time, as eight of their players were away on international duty.

Sipho Chaine, Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Oswin Appollis, Sipho Mbule, Thalente Mbatha, Kamogelo Sebelebele, and Relebohile Mofokeng were all with Bafana Bafana, while Deon Hotto was representing Namibia.
