Young Stars pick-up where they left off

The win sees Young Stars extend their lead at the summit to six points. Stars coach, Andrew Tlou expressed delight that his troops managed to break the deadlock although it was a huge mountain to climb as all of his players were rusty. “It was always going to be difficult because we have not played any competitive match since the break.

We had to take it step-by-step until we got the winning goal, which was really great by the boys,” an elated Tlou said. The gaffer further paid tribute to his players for showing tenacity until they got the winning goal in the dying minutes of the game to clinch all three points. “These guys know that the game is (only) over when the 90 minutes is done. Before 90 minutes we need to fight until the final whistle and that is the mentality I have instilled in them... to fight until the last minute and thanks to the boys for doing exactly that,” he said. “I am confident that if we continue like this, we can get it (promotion), but I understand this is a marathon and we cannot afford to slack down,” Tlou added.
