Flamingoes interim coach, Jacob Galebue said the second round is the toughest and an away draw is a welcome result. “This is our first game of the year. It was always going to be difficult. The players showed rustiness and lack of match fitness but we welcome the result, as a draw is always a good result away. All the teams have upped their game in the second round, but we will come back,” Galebue said.
“We are still in a good position. We are calm and our focus has not changed. We have beefed up our squad with experienced players and we are still vying for automatic promotion.” His GNT counterpart, Edward Leposo was satisfied with the outcome.
“This was a tactically difficult game. We played the same 3-5-2 formation and the centre of the park was packed and it was tough to play.
We had six new players on the field, which also made it difficult for us because they are still trying to gel, but they put up a good display for us. I am happy for them.
“We have a strong side and we are in the race. I am very confident that with these boys we will finish in either spot one or two.” In other games played over the weekend; Palapye All Stars lost 2-0 at home to ECCO City Greens while TAFIC beat Maun Tigers 2-1 in Francistown.
