“I’m very chaffed about the win ,proud of the boys, they maintained our tactical disclipline, that’s the way we wanted to play  .It was a good win for the team.

“We managed to close down in critical areas and overall the boys put out a good show, they missed a player like Khama Billiat who can turn the game on its head ,but credit to our guys  for maintaining shape and playing well.
