Caf Dreams And Top-eight Ambitions: Arrows Boss Mngqithi Ready For Chippa Challenge

LAMONTVILLE Golden Arrows head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has urged his players to maintain their hard work and focus as they set their sights on the visit of Chippa United to the Mpumalanga Stadium on Saturday at 3pm.

Abafana Bes'thendes hopes of a top-eight finish are still very much alive after a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Kaizer Chiefs in Durban last weekend.

That win came as a welcome response to their disappointing defeat to Magesi before the international break.

With three games in hand over Chiefs currently in eighth, Arrows are now just two points behind them, sitting in 10th place.

But theres more to their ambitions than just breaking into the top eight. Mngqithis side is also eyeing a slim chance at qualification for next season's CAF Confederation Cup.
