Randburg Football Club U16s are looking ready to fight and compete for the title in the newly formed Championship League.
The Randburg side is having an impressive preseason, winning all their games and scoring lots of goals.
Head coach Jabz Mdletshe said, “We are excited. Our key moments in various matches played are that the boys are moving the ball well while moving forward and maintaining our shape. With all the changes during the games and rotation of players, while changing formations to see what’s the best strategy that will work for us in the season, they are still able to dig deep and get positive results.”
He added the boys have been disciplined in keeping to the game plan during games, and just a few tweaks here and there and they will be ready.
“Our challenge from last season was goals and the creation of goal-scoring opportunities – that has been the emphasis these past two weeks. There have been lots of positives, it shows the confidence in front of the goal is there and we are on the right track. It’s great to see that we are beginning to be lethal in front, we have worked very hard on that.”
Mdletshe said their goal was for the boys to take the next step in their soccer careers, so development was key for every individual in the team.
“There is a lot of good competition in the league. It will be tough, which is great. There are a lot of qualified coaches as well which is great for the game and development of players all around.”
