Coach Tshabalala was full of praise for his charges who have continued to display their hunger despite their treble-conquering exploits last season.

We are embarking on a new season where we will be tested across several competitions. We desire that we keep executing our game plan on a game-by-game basis. The new players have hit the ground running and we are confident that they will improve our chances of retaining our titles in the upcoming season. Overall, the preseason preparations have gone according to plan and we are ready to display our resilience yet again,” stated Coach Tshabalala.
