Brixton Masters coach Pule Masukela commended his players for their performance and the victory.

He said tournaments like these are important for keeping players active and maintaining their health.

“This is a master’s competition. We need to keep running around to stay active and enjoy social cohesion with our age mates. After the tournament, we hang out and socialise,” he said.

Speaking about the match, Masukela admitted that his team could have performed better in the first half.
