“To be part of a national and well organised challenge, we felt blessed as a team. “We were one of the few inexperienced teams in the tournament, because we were playing with professional teams, such as Chippa United and Stellenbosch FC. “The tourney gave our boys exposure; they were on television, and they have learned a lot and came back home to implement what they have learned.
