Iqraam Rayners Can Make Mamelodi Sundowns Roar In As Far Crunch

FEW things inspire sportsmen better than the recognition of their efforts.

Granted, football is a team sport, and coaches and players always make sure to remind us that their achievements are thanks to the help of those around them.

But individual awards go a long way towards bringing the best out of sportsmen, and that being the case, you can bet that Mamelodi Sundowns Iqraam Rayners will be cock-a-hoop when he takes to the field against AS FAR Rabat in the clubs final group match of the CAF Champions League at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday 6pm kick-off.

Rayners was yesterday announced as the Premiership Player of the Month for both November and December for his incredible efforts that have seen him score six league goals this season, which has ensured Sundowns are top of the table after 11 matches.

He will once again be looked upon by coach Miguel Cardoso, himself also sure to be inspired after winning the Coach of the Month award, to deliver the goods against AS FAR Rabat as Sundowns seek to secure a spot in the quarter-finals.
