The Absa cup draw

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates should fancy their chances of progressing to the quarter-finals of the Absa Cup after the draw was announced this afternoon. Chiefs, who faced defending champions SuperSport United in the first round, were pitted against Mvela Golden League side City Pillars, while Pirates will face PJ Stars. Big-spenders Mamelodi Sundowns also got a kind draw against Mabopane Young Masters. The draw was not so kind for Moroka Swallows and Ajax Cape Town as they were both paired against fellow Premiership clubs. Swallows will tackle Santos, while Ajax will meet Tembisa Classic.
