AFC off to Dar for build-up ties

AFC Leopards left the country yesterday by road for a series of friendly build-up matches in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania during the Christmas holiday.

The Kenyan Premier League side will rub shoulders with Tanzania champions Simba and Yanga on Christmas Day and Boxing Day as they prepare for next season.

Leopards chairman Julius Ochiel said they would use the trip to gauge their new signings before the league kicks off in February.
