All Ticket Affair for Harry Gwala Opener 3 February 2010 The newly revamped Harry Gwala stadium will play host when Maritzburg United entertain Lamontville Golden Arrows on Satuday, 06 February 2010 in an Absa Premiership encounter.

The 1st round fixture between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw and both teams will be eager to collect maximum points.

Arrows Coach, Manqoba “Brilliant” Mngqithi recently returned from Spain where he spent time with the biggest and most successful Club in Europe, Real Madrid.

The “Team of Choice” will have stalwart Bageta Dikulu back from his one match suspension and will be at full strength and will look to grace the occasion with a solid performance in front of their home faithful.

Arrows will look to Richard Henyakane their free scoring forward to settle matters, while the “Team of Choice” will have Rudolph Bester and Fadlu Davids supported by flying Felix Obada to create problems for the Arrows back four.

“With the quality of players on both teams being exceptional, the level of football promises to be of the highest quality and with it being a Derby this game has all the ingredients of being a cracker” said Brand Manager Younus Kadodia.

“Derbies are great levelers and this one is special as it is the opening of the Harry Gwala Stadium and both teams will want this occasion to be theirs and enter into the history books.” Added Kadodia
