Stellenbosch Football Club has reached the final of the 2023 Carling Knockout competition after recording a resounding 3-0 semi-final win over Richards Bay in Umlazi on Saturday (2 December).
Goals from Devin Titus, Oura Anicet and Antonio van Wyk fired the team from the Cape Winelands in a first-ever cup final, where they will meet TS Galaxy at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday 16 December.
“The players showed great commitment and deserved to win and reach the final,” Steve Barker, Stellenbosch head coach, said after his team recorded the win. “They work hard every day; they are a young and energetic squad of players with good qualities, so I’m really proud of their efforts.”
The Carling Knockout final will be the second of two high-profile fixtures for the local lads in the next two weeks. The Maroons will also play host to Cape Town City in an upcoming DStv Premier Soccer League encounter.
The highly-anticipated Cape derby is set to take place at the Danie Craven Stadium at 19:30 tomorrow (Friday 8 November). Tickets are on sale for R30 for the Open Stand seats, and R50 for a spot on the Grand Stand.
