WATCH: Alberton’s Rovers took on Edenvale in a fierce match to cheering spectators
The u6 soccer match took place at Rovers FC’s home ground on Letaba Street, in Brackendowns, Alberton. Parents cheered as their little ones displayed incredible sportsmanship.
Alberton’s Rovers Football Club’s U6 team played a home game against Edenvale on August 8.
Held at Rovers FC’s soccer grounds on Letaba Street, in Brackendowns, Alberton, it attracted dozens of cheering parents and spectators.
Despite a strong showing, Rovers FC suffered a 2-1 loss to the visitors (Edenvale).
Rovers FC’s Vinesh Pillay said: “We played quite well. I think the team played exceptionally well. We just had some unfortunate goals conceded against us.
“Overall, I think when we made some changes, we improved a lot, and in the second half we did pretty well. I think we could have won that game given we started with our tactics that we were supposed to do in the second half,” added Pillay.
