Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Ofori relishing looming Soweto Derby against Kaizer Chiefs

Orlando Pirates new signing Richard Ofori has admitted he is aware of the magnitude of the Soweto Derby against Kaizer Chiefs.

Pirates and their traditional foes Chiefs are set to face off in an MTN8 semi-final match on October 31, which would be 11 days after Ofori joined the Buccaneers.

It is not yet clear who will start in goal for Pirates on that day between Ofori, Wayne Sandilands and Siyabonga Mpontshane, but the Ghana number one goalkeeper admits he has been a keen follower of derby showdowns ever since he arrived at his former club Maritzburg United.
