They beat the Free State champions, Nelson Mandela Primary School 2-0 in the final of the national playoffs in Reiger Park last Saturday to take the national title and, with it, earn the chance to represent the country at the Danone Nations Cup world finals in Morocco later in the year.
“We are back where we belong,” said an excited coach, Bafana Dlamini, as this is the third time the school Bree has taken the national crown and in 2009 they went all the way, winning the Danone Nations Cup World title.
Its school holidays now, so the players will have a bit of a rest. They can relax and enjoy telling everyone that they are going to Morocco, said the coach.
“But that will change as soon as schools reopens as we have scheduled a training programme for the team,” Dlamini said, “and I will solicit some coaching help from outside. Lucky Shiburi (goalkeeper coach for the national team) is a close friend of mine, I will be asking him for assistance as we prepare for the Morocco,” Dlamini said.
