The Shield Sbonis’iDiski selections climaxed after a three-day camp at Tuks High Performance Centre in Pretoria on Wednesday afternoon.
Amogelang Matebisi, Cassius Spandelel and Thandanani Tshabalala were the three young players selected by Pirates, Shield and the London club to train with Chelsea FC.
