“Some of them will need to go out on loan to get better, staying in the DDC is one challenge, playing in the NFD and PSL is a different challenge. “I’m looking forward to working with them in the first team with coach Gavin, in the pre-season there will be a few players to the first team, it will be a big step for them, and I think they are ready for the challenge,” said the former Matsatsantsa star. The likes of Shandre Campbell, Aphiwe Baliti and Keenan Bezuidenhout are expected to join Gavin Hunt’s preseason group while others might go on loan to NFD sides. The next step for them is to go on to the first teams,” he said.įrom this core, players such as Thapelo Maseko, Tendamudzimu Matodzi and Neo Rapoo have tasted first-team football. “To be rewarded with the trophy is a big thing, it’s like everything they have been working for in the season. When they sit in the changing room they will reflect and say, ‘we did it’. “You did get promoted but you never won the DDC, so it’s huge for these players. “It’s big for players when you’re playing in the DDC, and at the end of the day if you don’t win the DDC it does leave a sour taste,” September told Sowetan yesterday. September ’s charges lost out on the title last season and from that experience, they came into this season determined not to suffer another heart-crushing disappointment.Īlthough the league is focused on skill and talent development rather than winning, September believes that the youth title will be one that the players look back on with great memories in the future. Going to the last matchday, the young Spartans are on top with 62 points, followed by Pirates with 58 points and City in third with 56. On Sunday, SuperSport clinched their first DDC title after Orlando Pirates and Cape Town City dropped points.
After his players won the DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) at the weekend, SuperSport United reserves coach Thabo September wants them to test themselves in the first team or NFD next season.
