“The boys really impressed in the first game and I am happy. They did well, played as a collective, punished when needed to and overcame the obstacle ahead of them. We anticipate the next game against Limpopo to be tough, but we will fight till the end. It’s just unfortunate that the boys’ hunger for success will end in the other provinces succumbing to our boys’ success,” said coach Rewano Swarts.
