Mbabane Swallows ppd Royal Leopards [replay]
[ludicrously a replay was ordered following a farce procedure including
an apparent falsification of the referee's report; the day before the
replay should take place, the executive board of the FA decreed that
only the last 3 minutes should be played; the match was then postponed
due to refusal by referees to officiate; on Mar 8, Swallows (finally)
announced their withdrawal from the tournament]
