Releasing students cost us � Motlakase

Mogotsi told Mmegi Sport they had no proper pre-season preparations and faced big teams in the first three games.  “Releasing our players who are students also came as a blow to us. We had to excuse them early because they are all writing their Form 5 final examinations, so we wanted to give them sometime to prepare.

“Unfortunately, the students are key players so it was hard for us to survive as we did not have quality players to match their standard,” said Mogotsi.
