After bowing out of the Orange FA Cup, Systems shifted focus to the league log to consolidate their position. They edged Nico United 1-0 at Sam Sono Stadium in Selebi Phikwe on Sunday.

“It’s our priority ever since setting foot into the premier league that we give as many youngsters as possible an opportunity to play in the top league,” said Botlhasitse.

“We believe in youngsters because they’re the future…you saw the likes of Tawana and Kopelang last season and many more new faces this season,” he emphasized, stressing that young players added to the energy the team required.
