They suffered their second successive defeat in the First Division South league this past weekend, this time against Police XI who scored one goal in each half. In their first match of the season, a fortnight ago, Young Stars lost 1-0 to new comers, Magosi FC at home in Jwaneng.

I am giving them the chance to play and it will take some time before they gel but today’s performance is what we can work on,” he said. Moseki said he was happy with how they controlled the game, particularly in the second half but were unlucky to concede the second goal. “These boys are still young and when they concede a goal, they easily lose focus but I am proud of their performance altogether,” Moseki said.
