Tuesday and Wednesday night: 8 Betway Premiership fixtures

Tuesday and Wednesday night: 8 Betway Premiership fixtures

All eight Betway Premiership fixtures are scheduled for 19:30. Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs headline the two-day programme.

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS VISIT TS GALAXY

Kabo Yellowfinally begin their Betway Premiership campaign on Tuesday night. The reigning African champions travel to face TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium. saltysenoritaaz.org

The fixture was originally the subject of a venue request from TS Galaxy. The club wanted to move the match to Solomon Mahlangu Stadium, but the Premier Soccer League rejected the request. The game will therefore go ahead in Nelspruit.

Polokwane City will host Stellenbosch FC at Seshego Stadium, while Chippa United welcome Richards Bay to Dobsonville Stadium. At Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Marumo Gallants face newly promoted Kruger United.

Wednesday brings another set of heavyweight fixtures. Orlando Pirates travel to Durban to face AmaZulu at Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium after opening their title defence with a 2-0 win over Milford.

The Buccaneers will want another positive result, but AmaZulu will provide a much tougher test on home soil. The Durban side will be determined to make their home advantage count against the defending champions.

KAIZER CHIEFS HOST SEKHUHUNE UNITED IN THE BETWAY PREMIERSHIP

Kaizer Chiefs return to FNB Stadium on Wednesday when they face Sekhukhune United. The Amakhosi will be looking to continue their strong start after beating Kruger United 3-1 in their opening league fixture.

The match comes just days after Kaizer Chiefs suffered a 1-0 defeat to Lamontville Golden Arrows in the MTN8 quarter-final. Sekhukhune United will therefore provide another test as Chiefs look to quickly recover from that disappointment.

There is also a KwaZulu-Natal derby at Chatsworth Stadium, where Durban City take on Lamontville Golden Arrows. Golden Arrows enter the match with confidence after eliminating Chiefs from the MTN8.

The final Wednesday fixture sees Milford host Siwelele at Richards Bay Stadium. Both sides will be looking for an important result as they continue their early-season campaigns.

The midweek schedule promises two nights of major Betway Premiership action, with every match kicking off at 19:30 CAT.

How much it costs to: Take the family to watch Springboks play the All Blacks

Taking a family of four to watch the Springboks play the All Blacks will cost anything between R3 400 to over R11 000 – for tickets alone.

This is of course dependent on the match, seating choice and other costs.

Factoring in transport, food, drinks etc and the total outing skyrockets even higher.

Affordable tickets available for All Blacks clash

Tickets are still available for Tuesday night’s match between the Sharks and All Blacks at Kings Park – and they’re relatively cheap.

All remaining tickets for the second match of the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour are priced at R250.

The first match between the Stormers and All Blacks attracted a crowd of 47,130 at the 55,000-capacity Cape Town Stadium, with high ticket prices (R650 to R1,350) blamed for the unsold seats.

Golf : Michael Brennan s’offre le Wyndham Championship

L'Américain Michael Brennan a remporté dimanche le Wyndham Championship à Greensboro (Caroline du Nord), dernière épreuve de la saison régulière de PGA avant le début des play-offs de la FedEx Cup. Le golfeur de 24 ans, qui avait remporté son premier titre PGA en octobre dernier lors du Bank of Utah Championship, a enchaîné cinq birdies d'affilée pour prendre la tête.

Sa série a débuté par un putt de près de 2 mètres et demi au quatrième trou, avec un birdie au septième trou où il a manqué de 15 centimètres un «trou en un» dans ce par 3.

Brennan a ensuite concédé un bogey au 11e trou, mais a réagi avec un nouveau birdie au 13e puis au dernier trou. Il empoche la somme de 1,53 million de dollars (1,32 million d'euros) sur la cagnotte de 8,5 millions (7,35 millions d'euros) mise en jeu au parcours du Sedgefield Country Club.

Éthiopie: une nouvelle guerre au Tigré «s'étendrait à l'ensemble de la Corne» au vu du «jeu des alliances»

De nouveaux combats ont eu lieu début août dans l’ouest du Tigré, à la frontière avec le Soudan. Il s’agit des deuxièmes affrontements signalés entre les forces fédérales éthiopiennes et les forces tigréennes depuis le début de l’année. Alors que le gouvernement fédéral et le Front de libération du peuple du Tigré (TPLF) ont multiplié les déclarations de plus en plus hostiles ces derniers mois, faut-il craindre une reprise du conflit entre Addis-Abeba et le Tigré ? Réponses avec René Lefort, chercheur spécialiste de l’Éthiopie.
