Shaun Bartlett’s Cape Town Spurs are in pole position to get promotion to the DStv Premiership. They need a win on Sunday against the University of Pretoria in their last Motsepe Foundation Championship match of the season at Athlone Stadium (3pm).
Spurs are on top of the NFD table with 56 points; they need a win to secure promotion, and their closest competitors Casric Stars and Polokwane City won’t catch them if they get three points. Knowing that, Bartlett has concluded that their destiny is in their own hands.
“For us, it’s to go out and win the game and secure promotion back into the PSL after a five-year absence, formerly Ajax Cape Town and now back as Cape Town Spurs. Everything is set for Sunday. We are just making sure we prepare the players in the right way for them to go and complete the mission,” he said.
“When I was playing in 1995 when we won the league, we grabbed it from Orlando Pirates, it was massive for Cape Town as a whole, and having a third team from Cape Town will be great. For the club itself to get to the top tier of football, that has been our primary goal. Our goal is now in reach, we have to go out and do the business and get the victory that we want,” he said.
