Rovers duo target semi-final success

Posted on: Sat 20 Jun 2009

Two Rovers players, who are both back on home soil, will be hoping to make their first appearances in two of this summer's top football tournaments.

New signing Elrio van Heerden has failed to feature in South Africa's opening two group games at the Confederations Cup, so will be keen to play some part in tonight's crucial clash against European Champions Spain.

Bafana Bafana need just a point to progress or hope that Iraq fail to beat New Zealand in tonight's other encounter.

In the UEFA Under-21 European Championship, Martin Olsson's Sweden are also one step away from the semi-final stage after beating Belarus 5-1 in Tuesday's Group A opener.

Victory later today over their Italian counterparts, who drew 0-0 with Serbia earlier in the week, would guarantee the tournaments hosts a place in the final four.
