“I’m happy with my boys because we managed to win without any substitute. When we went to the game we didn’t have believe that we would win because of the limited number of players. However our hope was restored as during the games we kept on winning against the other teams,” said Paddy Mohale, Sedan United Development Team Coach.
The tournament was an initiative of SAPS and Built It as the main sponsor, where they were doing a crime awareness campaign through sports.
