All eyes on Sundowns and SA's three URC quarterfinalists
There is also plenty of interest in the Champions League final in Europe, where PSG take on Inter Milan. Pyramids FC players celebrate at the final whistle after beating Sundowns in the first leg of their Champions League final match at Loftus last weekend. Picture: Lefty Shivambu/Gallo Images Another exciting weekend of sport awaits us. There's plenty to keep football and rugby fans entertained, with these clashes our highlights. PSG v Inter PSG's trouble-filled efforts to win the Uefa Champions League could finally come to a happy ending on Saturday evening, as they take on Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Since they were injected with Qatari billions following their purchase by QSI in 2011, the Champions League has been the holy grail for the Paris side. Yet they have only reached one previous final, losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich in 2019. This time they will be favourites to beat Inter. But Simone Inzaghi's side have already sprung a couple of surprises in this year's tournament, taking down Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals and Barcelona in the semis. Prediction: PSG 2 Inter 1 Pyramids FC v Sundowns Mamelodi Sundowns have it all to do on Sunday when they take on Pyramids FC at the June 30 Stadium in Cairo in the second leg of their Caf Champions League final. A last-gasp equaliser from Pyramids in Tshwane gave the Egyptian side a precious away goal to take back home, and they now know they will win a first ever Champions League if they can stop Sundowns from scoring. Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso must get another good performance out of his team away from home. Sundowns showed in the semifinals, when they won with a 1-1 draw in the second leg against Al Ahly in Cairo, that they are a force to be reckoned with on their travels. Cardoso's side will probably look to keep it tight and hit Pyramids with a sucker punch. Expect a tight affair, but Sundowns might just sneak it. Prediction: Pyramids 0 Sundowns 1 Rugby URC quarterfinals The Stormers take on Glasgow in Scotland on Friday night, while the Bulls host Edinburgh and the Sharks welcome Munster on Saturday. It will take something special for the Stormers to win on the road, but expect big home games by the Bulls and Sharks. Unfortunately, South Africa might have just one team in the semifinals next week. For my money the Sharks have not been strong enough, in all departments, to progress beyond this stage, while the Stormers face a tough time against the defending champions, who'll have a point to prove. Jake White's Bulls also have a tough encounter against a side who have found way to make life difficult for them, and they have Sean Everitt coaching them, but expect them to come out on top. Prediction: Bulls to win, Stormers and Sharks to lose

Roodepoort parkrun sees strong turnout
The Roodepoort parkrun was once again buzzing with enthusiasm on Saturday, May 18, as 444 runners and walkers gathered, awaiting the run director's signal to start the 5km run. This was event number 607 and saw 29 volunteers facilitating the event by directing participants, scanning barcodes and providing support and encouragement. The event drew an amazing 31 first-time runners, and as always, a whole host of participants celebrated the coveted parkrun milestones, including Tatum King, who completed her 10th; Vincent Joel and Helen Mittwoch with their 100th; and Sadiq Gordon with his 150th run. Desmond Campbell was also honoured on the honours board for his 200th parkrun alongside Gielie Nel with 300, and John Carstens closed off the board with 350. Also read: Easter fun at parkrun According to Pascal Simba, the ambassador for Roodepoort parkrun, a new initiative has been introduced by Discovery Vitality and the Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture called Give2move, which kicked off on May 10 in celebration of World Move for Health Day. Watch video here: 'The aim is to collect 100 000 pairs of shoes in all sizes, which will be donated to those who need them the most. 'Parkrunners are encouraged to donate old or new shoes of any size every Saturday, and that will be appreciated,' he said. Pascal would also like to remind the community that the parkrun takes place every Saturday at 08:00 at Len Rutter Park in Florida Park. The event is free and is a two-lap course. All you have to do is register on print out your barcode, and you are ready to become part of the parkrun community. At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention.

Arrows confirm second half restart for SuperSport clash
The PSL still have to confirm when the two sides will play. The SuperSport United-Golden Arrows clash on February 23 had to be abandoned due to a power faiure at the stadium. Picture: Lefty Shivambu/Gallo Images Lamontville Golden Arrows have confirmed that their abandoned Betway Premiership clash with SuperSport United will be restarted from the second half. ALSO READ: Chiefs midfielder yet to discuss new Amakhosi deal The game at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on February 23 had to be called off at half time due to a power failure at the venue. Arrows – 'Starting from the second half' 'Our previously postponed Betway Prem fixture against SuperSport United will be completed, starting from the second half,' said Arrows on Twitter on Thursday. 'The date and time for the remainder of the match is still to be decided. We will update you on this as soon as possible.' It is unclear quite why it has taken the Premier Soccer League almost three months to make a decision regarding the match. There was a possibility that a PSL Disciplinary Committee would award the game to Arrows, as SuperSport as the home side failed to supply a backup generator. But with both sides still in danger of relegation, it has now been decided that the game will be played. The first 45 minutes on February 23 ended at 1-1, so that is where the game will start from when it is played to a finish. With Royal AM kicked out of the league, only one team faces possible relegation via the play offs at the end of this season. Battle to avoid finishing 15th Cape Town City are currently in the relegation play-off spot in 15th in the table on 26 points. SuperSport are ahead of City only on goal difference, but have one game in hand. Arrows are a point clear of both, also with one game in hand. City will play Stellenbosch on Saturday at the Cape Town Stadium in their last game of the season. On the same day at the same time, SuperSport will host Richards Bay while Arrows are at home to Sekhukhune.
