PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - Plett side Oriented Birds played out to a 3-3 draw against Cape Town Region outfit Cape Town Spurs' reserve team (formerly known as Ajax Cape Town) on Friday evening, 26 January at Ikamva Sport Ground in the Mother City.

The Cape Town Spurs players played attacking football and were controlling the game, but the visiting team still managed to earn their first draw away from home. 

It's important to settle for the draw when you play away from home, as away fixtures can often be tough with few points on offer.

According to the Cape Town Spurs manager, Donny Brown, his team did not play well. He said that they could have scored more goals, but failed to convert their clear-cut chances.

Plettenberg Bay is fast becoming the home of football in the Eden Region after the promotion of Oriented Birds to the Western Cape ABC Motsepe Provincial League.

Bitou Young Pirates' Anathi Jonas controls the ball during their game against Black Cats.

The team has been struggling so far, failing to register positive results at their own ground at home. After playing six matches they have managed only one victory and one draw, losing four league games. 

But it's still early days and better results could still come.

In contrast, the newly promoted side Bitou Young Pirates are the favourites in the Safa Eden Hollywoodbets Regional League for their first season in regional campaign.

They are doing exceptionally well sitting in second position and breathing down the necks of Black Cats in the regional league log table.
