admingive their fans an opportunity to get a glimpse of what is in store for the new season.
Makepekepe have played a number of practice matches to date and met with mixed fortunes.
New manager, Sean Connor, and his assistant, Lloyd Chitembwe, who have been working round the clock to assemble a formidable outfit, will have one more opportunity to try their combinations before the start of the season.
Connor indicated during a Press conference this week that the technical team was about to finalise their squad after adding six new players.
They are now working on combinations and tactics. CAPS United had a decent off-season, which took them to South Africa in January before they embarked on a week-long camp in Chiredzi.
The club’s chief executive, Maxwell Mironga, yesterday said they were looking forward to their assignment against Triple B, who finished runners-up in the Zifa Central Region Division One last season.
“This is our first friendly match to be played in Harare this year. We have been playing all our matches outside the city and this time we are at home.
“That one against Motor Action was meant for the trialists and the real CAPS United will play this weekend,” said Mironga.
Their opponents, Triple B, were fancying their chances for a run with the big boys this season but their efforts to have the region’s winners Hardbody penalised for using an
“ineligible” player, were quashed this week.
However, they are expected to give the Green Machine a good run this afternoon. Mironga said tickets have been pegged at US$2 for the rest of the ground.
Bitter rivals Dynamos will be involved in a double header as they host Monomotapa at Rufaro this afternoon and have another date with George Madira’s youthful Gunners at Lafarge tomorrow.
