Now for the Super League, says bullish Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies coach

The women’s topflight division has set up a tense championship race after The Blue Army took advantage while Sundowns were distracted by the CAF Champions League over the last two weeks.

Downs returned home winners and Tshabalala is now focused on dethroning UWC.

"It's not fine to lose cups, whether domestically or internationally, at Sundonws, it's not fine, we must always win. We don't have room for losing cups. So, it's still much alive," said the mentor.

Tshabalala has been keeping an eye on UWC, who face TS Galaxy away this afternoon, and could stretch the gap to nine points with a win, and says, from his observation, Sundowns shouldn’t throw in the towel.

"When I was watching two of their games, I felt we still got it, we've got a chance to go out there and win the Hollywoodbets Super League.

"We've done it before, we won a treble in 2021, and we still got another chance to win a treble again this year."

Sundowns get a chance to reduce the lead at the top tomorrow afternoon when they host their city rivals the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, which will leave the Brazilians four games behind.

"Games in hand are not points, we've just got to grind for those results. Fortunately, I've already told the girls that the Champions League is now done and dusted. Now the focus is on the league.

"The cup that we've brought home is similar to any other cup. We are training on Wednesday, and playing on Thursday. It shows that we definitely wanna win everything."

The quick turnaround to their next fixture means Tshabalala has to be mindful of injuries and fatigue, concerns which he says are being monitored by his backroom staff.
