Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>SEASONED Mbabane Swallows forward Felix \u2018Fela\u2019 Badenhorst says they are looking to bring back the glory days by competing for honours this season.<\/b><\/p>\n

Badenhorst said this after the team jumped to the top three bracket after beating Moneni Pirates 1- 0 at Mavuso Sports Centre on Sunday, where he played an integral role in the Beautiful Birds third win of the campaign.<\/p>\n

The lanky forward scored the lone goal of the match and was also named Man of the Match and took home E1 000.<\/p>\n

The ex-AS Vita player said his team was looking at competing this season and they needed to close the gap between themselves and the teams above them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese three points mean a lot to us as a team and we will continue to work hard as we need something positive this season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The soft-spoken forward said he was putting more effort in training and mentioned that as an experienced player he always expected lots of pressure because the supporters were expecting good performance.<\/p>\n

The red and white glamour side is currently sitting at position three in the log standings with 12 points after six matches under the guidance of Musa Manyatsi.<\/p>\n

Another man of the match award winner was Mbabane Highlanders attacking midfielder Philani Mkhonto who took home E1 000 during the y\u2019ello Sunday double header played at Mavuso Sports Centre.<\/p>\n
