Kwa-Thema – Springs Home Sweepers hosted the Lesotho U17 and U20 girls for friendly matches on Saturday at the Kwa-Thema Stadium.

Home Sweepers technical coach Mkhonza Mkhonzana said, “I am glad we gave the team a tough practice and that these games will help their girls build confidence.”

He said the games benefited his teams because they got to play an international team.

“My girls will feel they can now take on any team because they won against an international team,” he concluded.
