Team ready to dominate

Vodacom League contenders, Mbombela United FC, is back from camp and ready to declare war as they fight for a spot at the National First Division and the Nedbank Cup’s last 32.

United resumed their league campaign yesterday at the KaNyamazane Stadium and will travel to the Thulamahashe Stadium on Saturday for a Nedbank Cup encounter. Speaking about their preparations after the long Christmas break, United’s head coach, Alex Zondo, said they were soldiering on and they will fight tooth and nail to achieve top honours.

“We just got back from camp where we had enough time to work on some of the departments, so that they team can function as one engine.

I was happy in the manner the boys handled themselves during the Christmas break, because they came back fit and this made our preparations much easier,” he said.

“We are ready for the Nedbank Cup and to represent the province well in this competition. We are however not going to only focus on the Nedbank because the bigger prize is the league and qualifying for the NFD,” continued Zondo.

He said there were only four of his players in the injury list but he wasn’t worried since there were other equally talented players in the camp.

This team boasts some brilliant and skilful players such as Bednock Manyike and many others who have been instrumental in the team’s successes and continue to pose serious threat to the opposition.
