As a football blogger, I think I would be amiss not to highlight the result of what is arguably South African footballs biggest rivalry this weekend when Orlando Pirates took on Kaizer Chiefs.
Both sides have had indifferent starts to their seasons with Pirates having one of their worst starts on record, but a kick in the pants seems to have fired up Pirates in particular.
Through the Goals For Miracles campaign the two goals from Orlando Pirates raised a total charity funding of R100 000 (50 000 for each goal scored), to the benefit of the cataract operations performed through the South African National Council for the Blind (SANCB), the Pretoria Eye Institute’s Sight 4 U Cataract Project, and Netcare in association with Vodacom For You.
Goals For Miracles is a joint-initiative between Vodacom, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates
Venue: Mafikeng Stadium
Date: 15 November 2008
Kick off: 16H00
Kaizer Chiefs 0
Orlando Pirates (2) (Gilbert Mushangazhike 22, Lucas Thwala 33)
Kaizer Chiefs winning streak came to an end after Saturday afternoon when Amakhosi lost by 2-0 against archrivals, Orlando Pirates. In what was a sizzling heat in Mafikeng, Orlando Pirates started the game on fire and two goals one from Zimbabwean born striker, Gilbert Mushangazhike and the second one a tap in from Lucas Thwala were enough to hand Orlando Pirates their fourth win in a row.

I'll be honest, I hadn't been on to either the Chiefs or Pirates websites in a while and I was blown away by the quality of the sites. I think some of them might even put their counterparts in the english premiership to shame!
