Fighters, together with Prisons XI and BR Highlanders found the going tough in the just ended season and failed to retain their Premier League status.Fighters and Prisons XI will be joining the First Division South League while BR Highlanders will campaign in the First Division North. Fighters' chairperson, Kehumile Kgoroba said they need to go out there and work as a unit if they are to see themselves back in the elite league next season."We need to correct our mistakes. Maybe we did not put too much effort and we paid the price. I am not saying someone is to blame for our demise, we are a team and we should work together and steer the team back to the Premier League," he said.
Fighters finished at position 15 on the log, won just six matches, drew seven and lost 16.Kgoroba pointed out that they lost some matches that they shouldn't have lost and need to come back stronger. He said the coach, Enos Mmesi did his best and would not blame him for the axe. "He had the passion and commitment," Kgoroba said. Both Mmesi and the executive committee are yet to sit down and map the way forward regarding his future at the club. Mmesi said although they have managed to do well as far as scoring goals was concerned, they had problems at the defence and conceded unnecessary goals."We were leaking goals at the back and I could not make changes since we did not have the right personnel on the bench to do that," he said.
