Kerr hopes for a repeat in Ke Yona final
KERR: HOPES CHARGES REPLICATE SHOCK WIN OVER CHIEFS
Tshakuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) head coach Dylan Kerr hopes his players can emulate or improve on the victory over Kaizer Chiefs when they meet Chippa United in the final of the Nedbank Cup at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein today.
TTM go into the match following a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Amakhosi in a midweek DStv Premiership clash.
Kerr admits that league games are very different to cup games, but says his charges are eager to lift the cup agaisnt Vladislav Heric’s Chilli Boys and there is excitement all round at the club leading up to the game.
Kerr has also confirmed that his squad has a clean bill of health for the final.
“I hope that we can replicate or surpass our performance against Chiefs in the cup final. I told the players that it is about winning the trophy and not financial gain,” said Kerr.
“The players are excited and want to impress. This week we have had training sessions with no injures, which is almost unheard of.
“It is an important game for the club and players, it could be the one and only chance for some of these players to play in a cup final.
“Our opponents have got a couple of good results behind them and have a new coach (Heric),” said the TTM mentor.
“We have the disadvantage of one day fewer for training because we played on Tuesday. But we have put in a good week.”
The TTM coach wants to make history with the club by becoming the first Limpopo team to lift the Nedbank Cup trophy.
“We must look forward to the game and create history and a first for a Limpopo team in the Nedbank Cup.”
