National First Division rookies Mbombela United are on course to repeat the fairytale story of Chippa United. After winning the Vodacom League (now the ABC Motsepe League) play-offs in 2010-2011, Chippa spent just one season in the NFD before winning promotion to the Absa Premiership.Mbombela hope that their debut season in the NFD will end with them celebrating promotion to the top flight.Mbombela, who finished in third place, host Highlands Park in the first promotion play-off match at Kanyamazane Stadium on Wednesday afternoon."We have managed to win our matches and now we are fighting to win promotion," said midfielder Bednog Manyike."We want to emulate Chippa United. It's only four matches to play in the play-offs and we are positive. We want to win our first match and that will give us a lot of confidence."Highlands are a good side and they showed this when they played Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup," added Manyike.Highlands Park, meanwhile, would probably be celebrating automatic promotion to the PSL right now had they not slipped up whenever eventual NFD winners Baroka FC dropped points.When Highlands visited Mbombela in the first half of the season, they played to a goalless draw.Captain Tapuwa Kapini will be happy with a similar result."Mbombela are good at home. We should make sure that we do not lose, so even a point will do. Then we have to make sure that we win our matches when we play at home in Tembisa," Kapini said...
