BIDVEST Wits coach Gavin Hunt is targeting a cup and league double. The Clever Boys coach predicted twists and turns in the Absa Premiership title race.
Wits lifted the Nedbank Cup title back in 2010 after hammering AmaZulu 3-0 at the opening of the newly refurbished FNB Stadium. The Clever Boys host Chippa United in the Ke Yona last 16 match at Milpark Stadium tomorrow night (7.30pm).
Hunt is not prioritizing the cup over the league as he believes that his side is capable of winning both trophies. Despite trailing log leaders Kaizer Chiefs by eleven points, Hunt insists that his charges can still pull the rabbit out of the hut and unseat Amakhosi at the top of the log.
Wits are fifth with 34 points from 18 matches and have two games in hand. “There is still everything to play for. We are not giving up on our quest to win the league. We are targeting the top two positions. Expect more surprises in the remaining ten games.” Warned Hunt.
Wits must play Chiefs twice in the league and Hunt is banking on those games to turn the table on Amakhosi. But before the temperamental coach can shift his focus on the league, he must prepare his charges for the visit of the Chilly Boys.
The Eastern Cape based outfit have nothing to lose and everything to gain in this cup tie. “We have to get past this round and take it from there. It’s always good to win a cup. We want to win both competitions. Every game is important.”
