Buffaloes admit Coke Cup weakness

The coach fears that he might not stand the test in the next round against Premier League sides. Buffaloes will face Gaborone giants Township Rollers on the weekend of August 9-10 in the last 32. "This game (against Checkers) has opened our eyes. We did not think Checkers would come out so strong and I have to admit we struggled, especially in the first half. It was only individual brilliance which saved us and the fact that they were not deadly in front of goal," Koitsiwe said.

Star Ramponwane's individual brilliance set the Mochudi side to victory when it appeared the match was headed to the penalty shootout. In the 65th minute, he made a harmless run on the left but suddenly he spotted the Checkers' goalkeeper out of his line. He powered a low shot into the net to light up the small crowd in attendance.
