“We have just played seven games, we started on a slow note, and maybe because we were still in the preseason mood, but this time the boys are catching up and everyone is putting up their best. And we are just doing our best to push the boys and everyone is getting the much needed fitness needed. From our side, we didn’t have too many games during our pre-season and we’ve taken part in these games that playing as part of preparations and it has paid off because we have seen that the boys are picking up and everyone is in the right frame of mind, and going in to tomorrow’s game, we are doing our best to push the boys to where we want them to be,” he said.
