The Chiefs reserve team has made a lot of people talk with an exciting brand of football they have been ,playing which has seen them reach the final.
Luckily for him, most of the boys in the Chiefs team were part of his South Africa national Under-17 team that won the Under-17 Cosafa Cup in 2020, most notably Mduduzi Shabalala, who walked away with the Player of the Tournament award in that edition.
“So, it is a process, when I started with them they were 15-years old and now they are 18-years old. We are nurturing them and making them the stars of the future. They are getting better every day. They have done well in the Diski Shield, we just have to finish the job in the final.”
The Chiefs youngsters will be up against an exciting Stellenbosch reserves team that won last season’s DStv Diski Challenge. The Cape side will go into the final with the hopes of lifting their second trophy this season, while Chiefs will be aiming for their second Diski Shield, having won the tournament back in 2018.
Meanwhile, playing for third/fourth place play-off will be Downs reserves, who will be up against Chippa United on the same day.
