‘Thorny’ CAF Cup opener for Ajax
Posted: 2008-03-13 06:03
The Confederation of African Football has announced the draw for the second round of the Confederation Cup competition, the first leg of which will be played on the weekend of March 21-23.
Ajax Cape Town, who drew a bye in the first round, will be at home to Indian Ocean islanders Anse Reunion of Seychelles, who disposed of Petite Reviere of Mauritius 2-1 on aggregate in the first round.
Craig Rosslee and his Urban Warriors are unlikely to know much about their visitors and are bound to be more than a bit confused when they see the Anse team list submitted to CAF.
It contains eight players with the surname ‘Rose’ – Ricky, Bernard, Simon, Dana, Roderick, Dervik, Yelvany and Verna. Four of them, Ricky, Roderick, Verna and Yelvany, play for the island’s national team, the Pirates.
Apart from the Roses, Anse also use a trio of Kenyan players, striker James Omondi, towering defender Zablon Amanaka and midfielder Sila Gwada. The first two named have both seen CAF action with their national team, the Harambee Stars, in the past.
The full Caf draw is:
Issia Wazi (Ivory Coast) v US Masseda (Togo)
Rachad Bernoussi (Morocco) v Esperance (Tunisia)
