Warriors are a National First Division (NFD) side while Spears are in the SAB regional league, two tiers lower than their opponents.

Neither side knows anything about the other as they have never crossed paths in league or regional games.

"They are a closed book to us. We are going there only knowing our strengths," said Warriors PR officer Tsholedi Moloi.

"Our team has no injuries or suspensions, everyone is looking forward to this match."

Spears are coached by Thulani Nkosi, once an assistant at NFD side United FC, the club owner Mojalifa Sethunja is just as excited about the game.

"Playing in the Nedbank Cup is a dream come true for us as we come from a very small area and these opportunities come around once in a lifetime for us," Sethunja said of the Jan Kempdorp club.

"When I started this team I wanted to show that there is talent in the Northern Cape, but it is talent unseen and the Nedbank Cup gives us the chance to prove that."
