Highlands give Da Gama vote of confidence

Highlands Park have committed to keeping coach Owen Da Gama at the club despite inconsistent results.


Da Gama’s future at the club was put on doubt after Highlands lost 4-1 to Stellenbosch FC over the weekend. Prior to that they lost 3-0 to Kaizer Chiefs in a midweek game.

“The team takes collective responsibility for all that has transpired and is currently hard at work to look to redeem itself and appease supporters.”
