Unfortunately lack of concentration cost Ginomai three valuable points.<\/p>\n<p>Ginomai\u2019s coach, Phillimon Ditshotlo, said in an interview said his players thought they had won, therefore, they relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>He said he was also worried by the fact that the players created a lot of scoring opportunities, but failed to convert them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe league is still fresh, there is always a room for improvement, we will not despair because our aim is to gain promotion to division one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Untouchable coach, Boni Mametse, said they drew a game they could have won in the first stanza, adding that he was disappointed by the fact that his players did not utilise their chances.<\/p>\n<p>He said his strikers were not training with the team due to different commitments, hence not performing as they should have.<\/p>\n<p>The coach said he was left with no option but to convert some of the players to strikers so as to fully compete in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he said Ginomai dominated the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch as any team, we are ambitious, we also want to gain promotion, and that alone means we have to work very hard at training, we still have second round,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>At Lekidi West, Geronah and Viccomates played to a one-all draw.
