CUT to fight to the bitter end

CUT heads to the capital city with one clear objective, to hunt for three points and keep their slim chances of reaching the Varsity Football semi-finals alive.

Although CUT has only one victory to their name this season, they are still mathematically in contention. But they will need to grab the bull by the horns and give everything for the full 90 minutes against the UP-Tuks Men’s Football in round six.

The two teams are separated by just a single point on the log, and whoever wants it more will come out on top on Thursday.

Katlego Ramotete, who scored CUT’s goal in their 2-1 defeat to UFS in the Bloemfontein derby last week, said the team is ready for the challenge. Despite a tough campaign, they are determined to fight for a place in the playoffs.

“We are prepared for the game because we really want to collect maximum points, we have a goal as a team,” said Ramotete.

“We still believe we have a chance to finish in the top four. We are taking a very technical approach, as the coach has decided to try something new, which worked for us in the previous game. We’re looking forward to applying that approach again in this match.”

CUT have shown flashes of brilliance on the park throughout the season, and it’s just a matter of piecing everything together to put in a complete performance. Ramotete believes the team can achieve this together.

“We have some great players, and those who are mentally strong and ready to fight in any situation. I think we have a great team that can work towards our goal. Remember, I said we have a goal as a team, and we are determined to reach it.”

Thursday’s do-or-die clash at Tuks Stadium in Tshwane kicks off at 18:30.
