Ike
Lebatle, the team coach, says the school, and the entire village they are
located in are celebrating their victory and the principal gave the team an
hour off to go around the school and celebrate with their school mates. “Last
Saturday we even went out to the village to celebrate with the community
because they have been showing us support all the time,” he said.
Lebatle
says it has not been decided what the prize money will be spend on. “The school
will have to sit with the School Governing Body and they will decide,” he said,
“but I’m sure the money will go into sports projects. The school does not have
a proper soccer field, we need to build one from scratch.”
Sol
Plaatje Secondary School, the defending Champions, was the schools toughest
opponents said Lebatle. “Before the tournament we spoke about defeating
Sol Plaatje and it was our ultimate goal and we were happy that we did that.”
The
team has begun preparations of the national finals. “The celebrations are over
and the hard work has begun,” Lebatle said. “We train 4 times a week and play a
friendly match every Saturday. I am working hand in hand with other
coaches, to help me with developing our technique. We know that there will be
tough competition, so we are covering all bases.”
Lebatle
is motivating his players with the thought of winning the R1 million first
prize; “The boys must leave the school for the national finals knowing that a
soccer field is being built and that they were the ones that made it happen.
Their names will be forever remembered in the school. ”
