they were never deterred in spite of
playing with one man down and
conceding an early goal in the first
half.

character the boys showed today is
what is expected of them, and I hope
to maintain the tempo,” he said.

chances but Dolphins utilised theirs and had the
day,” he said
Dogo said he was hopeful that his team would pick
up as the second round of the league progressed.
