Double Fun at the Stadium this weekend

13 March 2015 By Alan Straton

NMBS Doubleheader
Admiring the new pitch, ahead of the Double Header games this weekend at the Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB) Stadium, are Chippa United midfielder, William Twala, stadium GM: Operations Lourens Oberholzer and EP Kings Centre, Tim Whitehead.

While everyone was on holiday during the festive season, last year, Access Management – NMB Stadium operators – started working on growing the DESSO GrassMaster® hybrid grass pitch, which according to the DESSO website is favoured among top players around the world.

Fans can see this pitch for themselves at the double-header games at the stadium which will be taking place tomorrow (Friday, March 13) when Chippa United takes on Amazulu at 8pm and Saturday’s (March 14) match when EP Kings face Golden Lions XV at 5pm. The Curtain Raiser to the Kings match is the Cell C Community Cup clash between Don’s Pawn Shop PE Police and Durbanville-Bellville at 14h30.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
