Bumper Sporting Weekend in Port Elizabeth
www.MyPE.co.za:
Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor, Cllr Zanoxolo Wayile, today urged
residents to support the sports activities that will be taking place in
the city over the weekend.
“Nelson Mandela Bay is fortunate enough to be hosting, not one, not
two, but three major sporting matches this weekend, in the three most
popular sports,” said Mayor Wayile, referring to the EP Kings vs Boland
1st Division rugby match on Friday evening at the Nelson Mandela Bay
Stadium, the 2010 Airtel Champions League Twenty20 cricket match
between the EP Warriors and Sri Lanka’s Wayamba Eleven on Saturday, and
the Bay United-Blackburn Rovers soccer match, also on Saturday.
The cricket match takes place at St George’s Park and starts at 13h30,
the soccer is at the Westbourne Oval at 15h00.
“When such exciting events happen in the Bay, it is important that we
show that we are worthy hosts – as we did in the World Cup – by turning
out in our numbers,” said Mayor Wayile.
“I also urge all our people to wear white and red on Friday, in support
of Umlilo (Bay United).”
Mayor Wayile assured all residents and visitors that all necessary
logistical arrangements had been made. “I have had the pleasure of
either meeting with the organisers or being briefed by fellow
councillors and officials, and am confident that this weekend is going
to be great.”
“I hope that our Royals show their mettle and the fact that we deserve
top flight rugby in the Bay, that Umlilo register an emphatic win and
that the Warriors show our brothers from Sri Lanka why they (the
Warriors) are the domestic champs!”
