Caf Confederation Cup: Orlando Pirates ready for tough conditions - Davids

Orlando Pirates assistant coach Fadlu Davids is refusing to complain about the challenges they have encountered in Botswana ahead of Sunday’s Caf Confederation Cup play-off, first leg clash against Jwaneng Galaxy at Gaborone National Stadium.

The Buccaneers arrived in Gaborone to be confronted by searing heat and pitch conditions they are not used to.

With coach Josef Zinnbauer pointing at the National Stadium's playing surface and travelling from Johannesburg as obstacles to a win, Davids is not looking for excuses as they seek to reach the group stage.
