Extension Gunners coach, Stanley Mwaanga says he enjoys coaching the team because of its tradition of always aiming to play free flowing football, which he believes in.

Mwaanga said last week, the team was getting better and better in terms of their quality of play and would soon force their way into the top eight bracket.

Gunners started the season in crisis with players downing tools after complaining about poor welfare.

After they lost four of their first five games, some supporters decided to overthrow their executive committee and elected an interim committee to run the team.

Things have now improved and the team has won three and drawn one from their past four matches. Last Thursday, they sent supporters into frenzied excitement when they thrashed Tafic 5-1 at Lobatse Sports Complex, through goals from Mmoloki Kebalepile, young striker Misani Thupa, Obonye Moswate and a brace by Dirang Moloi.

Former Gunners player Boitshoko Zikhale scored for Tafic.

The beaming Mwaanga said the team was improving because the welfare of players was now better. He said the best was still to come as the team fight for a better position at the end of the campaign.

“The players were not happy at the beginning of the season.

The welfare now is okay and the results are coming.

But we are not using all our players.

Half of the players are not with us.

Imagine what will happen when they come.

You haven’t seen Gunners, you will see Gunners,” he said.

What was even more impressive about the victory was because Gunners attack was spear headed by youngsters, who put on solid performances.

“I like the youth. They get instructions and work very hard. The small boy, Ashtan Esterhuizen always work very hard for us.

We have to support the youth to play, all the youth I have here have played about seven games (this season),” Mwaanga said. ENDS
