Dublin Boon (Orlando Pirates | South Africa)

Orlando Pirates 1-0 Las Palmas

Adj on the pine. Come in 2nd half

OP coach makes changes and brings in many of OP younger players that were at the reserves last season. 

You got to admire Spanish teams, even from the 2nd division ability to keep the ball. Wonderful to watch.

Highlights on YT

Edit: why did I put this update under Boon? Anyways, OP did give the reserve goalkeeper Dladla 60 minutes in this game. 

Stellies 0 - 1 AmaZulu

Garrow selected as reserve goalkeeper, which is a surprise. Boon not in the match day squad. 

Looks like Stellies management probably think he ain't staying. 

"Pirates widen goalkeeper search beyond SA"

- from the biggest newspaper publication/website whatever in SA. 

More indication that this move might still happen. 

Speculation that Stellies are after another goalkeeper from Ghana. More signs that Boon is on his way out?

Done deal for Dublin. He's signed a 3 year deal at Orlando Pirates.

So Orlando Pirates reserves won their league (Diski Championship) last season, and traditionally the champions prize is a European tour to a select country to play top Junior teams.

Last season's champions, Kaizer Chiefs, went to England and played Man Utd, Leeds and QPR.

It has been announced that the Buccaneers will be going to the Netherlands:

Fixtures:

Interesting they will be playing Japan's Yamanashi Gakuin High School on this tour which should enhance the experience.

Not sure if Boon will be invited on the tour but if so, it could be a very interesting trip down memory lane. 🤞 

Vitesse 5 - 0 OP Reserves

Vitesse reserves gave OP a lesson to remember. Boon not involved in the tour.
