Leopards ready for ‘battle of the bravest’ against Pirates

Coach Kerr will be hoping to do what various of his predecessors have failed to do for a long time, and that is to beat the Buccaneers at their home ground.


Black Leopards coach Dylan Kerr says his side will thread carefully when they play Orlando Pirates at the Orlando Stadium tonight .

“We need the three points more than they need it and they have not won the title for seven years and they have got a chance now so they will be gunning for the three points and it is not going to be easy, especially in Orlando Stadium,” Kerr told reporters.

“We know we can be a threat to Pirates but we just have to be careful not to give away the possession because it is going to be tough. It is going to be nice and it will be the battle of the bravest and I dint mean that in terms of making tackles,” he added.

Kerr will be hoping to do what various of his predecessors have failed to do in over two decades, and that is to beat the Buccaneers at their home ground.

“We are going to their back garden and I know it is going to be tough, they have got a good fan base and they are on the high because they won a big game against Bidvest Wits.
“We got to be realistic on what they have got and what we have got, it is miles apart, they have the infrastructure and the top-flight experience and they have four or five technical systems and they have everything that we haven’t got.”
