The Lions of Skoomplas have made changes to their technical team as the race to win the ABC Motsepe league heats up. The Hunters had a stuttering start to the season after playing out to a zero all draw in the Bizana derby against Spears of the Nations FC before drawing to Highbury FC on home soil. However, the Hunters seat comfortably at the top of Stream As log with 2 points lead after winning their appeal in the game against Highbury FC as the game was played under protest and they were awarded 3 points as a result.
The former ABC Motsepe champions have roped in Tshepo Motsoeding as Co–Head Coach with Hloaysi as his partner in crime at the helm of the in-form team. Tshepo is no stranger to the ABC Motsepe League and Bizana Pondo Chiefs as he was in charge of the team when they won their first ever tittle and subsequently, gaining promotion to the Glad Africa Championship. The Hunters will be hoping that the experience and expertise of Motsoeding can see them winning the league again.
Bizana Pondo Chiefs Chairman with the rest of the management, has welcomed the return of the legendary coach who has made history before and he is confident that he will fit in like a “hand in glove” as he is very familiar with the surrounding,
“We are confident that he will fit in the team [because] he is not new to this team.” Said the Chairman.
Other additions to the team see Mahlanagana and Noqaza as joint Senior Coaches, Nzimande as fitness trainer with Nokobongo heading the goalkeeping department. The new additions to the personnel will have very little time to settle in as the hunt continues for the Lions of Skoomplas with their next fixture scheduled for Saturday, 20 November at 15h30 against Sibiya All Stars FC in King Williams Towns, Ginsburg Stadium.
