Stellenbosch Fc Going All Out For 'special Trophy' Against Orlando Pirates

Stellenbosch FC have played so often in Durban over the past few weeks that coach Steve Barker has even reacquainted himself with his local curry shop.

Barker, a KwaZulu-Natal native, has been back in his home province of late due to Stellies being forced to play at the Moses Mabhida Stadium while the Danie Craven Stadium undergoes a rehabilitation process after the rugby season.

Barker and Stellies will be back at the 2010 Fifa World Cup venue this weekend, though, when they face Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 final 6pm kick-off as he certainly feels familiarity breeds success.

Yeah, when I go back home, its a bunny chow from Ganey Road, Britannia Hotel, Barker joked at the pre-final media conference at Stellenboschs Lentelus training ground yesterday.

But seriously, I think we've played more at Moses Mabhida than at Danie Craven this season. It has become a nice place to go to.
