Stars team determined to qualify for soccer league

The National First Division side (NFD), Sivutsa Stars are adamant to secure a place in the country's Premier Soccer League (PSL).

Stars who are currently occupying the seventh spot on the NFD table, has been playing quality and
entertaining football, totally different from what they had offered the previous
season where they dropped points at home and ended up languishing in 13th
position.
“Since the new season started, the boys have shown maturity and
confidence. I want to believe that John Tlale, new head coach made a huge
difference in the camp. And the kind of players we have acquired for this season
seem hungrier for success, which is good to qualify for the PSL.
I have no
doubt in my mind that the province will soon have another representative in the
PSL,” commented the team’s PRO, Charles Nkosi.
There are two provincial teams
currently campaigning in the NFD and both stand a good chance of gaining
promotion.
Emalahleni based Witbank Spurs is the other team also eyeing a
spot in the PSL after missing out on a chance to go to the play-offs last
season.
Even though the NFD have been marred by negative reports, Nkosi
maintained that even so, the team had to move past that and continue playing
good football.
“We need to concentrate on scoring more goals and concede
fewer.
“Our focus is to continue to play as one team and start collecting as
much points as we can,” Nkosi added.
