“At the moment we’re happy with the results and the team’s progression, especially after having to rebuild following the loss of several first-team players to other clubs. Our new players have adjusted well, and we’re continuing where we left off last season.”
Tlhako added that the club aims to build on its past success and push for promotion.
“We won our stream in our debut season but fell short during the play-offs to the ABC Motsepe League. This season, we want to replicate that success and earn promotion,” said Tlhako.
