Moderators Johno Posted March 3 Moderators Posted March 3 Hope you can finish on high with 2 games to go! Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted March 3 Author Moderators Posted March 3 April/May '25 2 fantastic results at the end of the season was not a fan of the gap between the games though. We was unable to get a friendly during that period but the boys didn't mind the rest. Finishing 6th means we qualify for the MTN 8 cup which is played between the top 8 teams with a chance to win £423,820 (at the time of Google Finance) After getting my National B License the board have agreed to let me get my National A License. Despite this being a Pentagon challenge I'm quickly becoming attached to this team and growing it. The chairman has a vision and I'm all in. We say goodbye to Motshegwa who retires from the game. He was instrumental getting us promoted in my first year. The turn around in finances has been an enjoyable watch with the hope they continue the same path they are currently going. 1 Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted March 4 Author Moderators Posted March 4 25/26 Pre Season. My third season, and the teams 2nd in the Premier Division. this year we are fighting on 4 fronts with the Nedsbank Cup, the Telkom Knockout, MTN 8 and the League to play for. We are again favourites to be fighting relegation so a good start again this season would be fantastic. Transfers Out The 2 to leave this season Transfers In The biggest incoming is the return of Benjamin Wallis from his loan spell to a permanent transfer. Young and equally adept at the back, with the other paid transfer being Mathiba who can help at CDM as depth when needed. Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted March 4 Author Moderators Posted March 4 August '25 An unbeaten start to the season in the league albeit 1 win 2 draws but still a solid start. Gave up a 2-0 lead vs Baroka in the last game but injuries meant playing 17 yr olds. the 5-1 win vs Kaizer Chiefs is going to take some beating in the MTN8 cup but I have no complaints about the start we've made. 2nd leg of the MTN8 semi final to play at home vs AmaZulu is winnable. Could we win a trophy this season? Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted March 4 Author Moderators Posted March 4 September '25 Still unbeaten in the league with the only loss in September coming in the MTN8 semi final second leg in a close fought game ending in 2-1 to AmaZulu. We don't seem to be able to see out leads at the minute which is worrying but on the other side of the scale we can score goals. Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted March 5 Author Moderators Posted March 5 October '25 A fantastic October see's us still unbeaten in the league after 11 games, Kaizer Chiefs have become my whipping boys. Another little cup run could be on the cards hoping we don't dip in form like we did last season and this form can push us further. Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted March 5 Author Moderators Posted March 5 November '25 A quick month of November with the only 3 games of the month being played within 8 days. Semi Finals of the Telkom Knockout vs Cape Town City the only game in December. Time to start looking into friendlies to keep the lads sharp. A very close game against reigning champions Sundowns and a 4-0 win vs AmaZulu as payback for the cup exit in the MTN8 cup. Asked the board if I can do my Continental badges during the next 4 months. Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted March 5 Author Moderators Posted March 5 December '25 December was the month we win our first trophy with a hard fought win over Sundowns. Hoping this will boost us onto either another cup with the Nedbank cup or a title push in the last half of the season. 1 Quote
Moderators Johno Posted March 6 Moderators Posted March 6 Congrats on the cup Beautiful win over Chiefs! Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted Saturday at 18:51 Author Moderators Posted Saturday at 18:51 January '26 A fantastic run of form continuing through January has been helped by the signing of Dan Ndhlovu. Much needed depth was needed at left back and Dan plays all down the left side. Looking to keep the form going in the second half of the season and hopefully push on with the trophy in the bag from one cup. Beginning to think that this team is going to be something special and leaving them will be a sad sad day when it comes. Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted Sunday at 16:13 Author Moderators Posted Sunday at 16:13 February '26 Another strong month through February the draws versus Sundowns and Orlando may have cost us in the title race with 7 games remaining. Nedbank round 2 versus Orlando during March to keep another cup in play. Needing the Chiefs and Sundowns to take some L's Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted Sunday at 17:42 Author Moderators Posted Sunday at 17:42 March '26 Despite 4 fantastic wins including a last minute win vs Orlando in the Nedbank cup, succumbing to a loss to the Chiefs is Karma, but a complete capitulation vs Magesi after being 6-2 up at one point is totally unacceptable. 4 games to go 2nd is still achievable. A win in the Nedbank also means qualification for the Orange CAF Confederations Cup Quote
Moderators Johno Posted Monday at 16:02 Moderators Posted Monday at 16:02 Will be tough to try and get 2nd place but I'm sure you can overhaul them Quote

Moderators VyKing Posted yesterday at 09:31 Author Moderators Posted yesterday at 09:31 April/May '26 A fantastic season with us qualifying for the CAF Champions League for finishing 3rd. We've improved season on season so far but winning the CL at the first go is a big ask. The board expecting us to be competitive, with 200k in the transfer kitty it's going to be strengthening the depth for next season. Kimvuidi has been the standout performer for the team while on loan which has meant he's been offered a permanent contract which he's signed. But I want toe mention the goal scoring exploits of our CB Gordinho. Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted 12 hours ago Author Moderators Posted 12 hours ago Pre Season 26/27 Another season another Preview. We are seeing a marked improvement year on year on the odds and position from the Media. Competing on five fronts this season with our first ever Champions League campaign kicking off against Vipers FC where we aim to avoid an RKO. During the pre-season, Sundowns offered me a job interview which I'd have been stupid to decline as it would be the best chance on paper to win the Champions League. But I'm still not in a position of strength to get the top jobs in South Africa yet so they went elsewhere. We currently have actual money offers in for 2 players this season so more progress as we're not fully counting on free transfers. As the team grows the owner is allowing me to grow with them. Quote
Moderators Johno Posted 4 hours ago Moderators Posted 4 hours ago Think it would be too easy if you went to Sundowns if you were offered it. Should be able to close the gap between top 3 Quote

It would have been hard to reject them if they did offer the job, I feel a connection with this team and I'm enjoying taking them to dizzy heights. Quote
Moderators VyKing Posted 11 minutes ago Author Moderators Posted 11 minutes ago August '26 100% start to the season with 1 more round to qualify for the Champions League. 3 wins out of 3 in the league and a 3-1 lead over the Chiefs in teh first leg of the MTN 8 semi final. 2 of the 3 signings have come through so far with Andorran Juaquin Barros for 63k and John Bhengu 66k Main goal is to reach the group stages of the Champions League to help with the clubs reputation.
