Despite beaten 3-2 by Vasco da Gama in the First Division PSL Promotion Play-offs, Black Leopards have vowed not lose hope but continue fighting harder in their bid to return to the elite ranks next season.
Liloda Duvha's hopes of gaining promotion next season were halted in Cape Town when they were beaten on Saturday but they still have another chance to make amends and achieve their ambition keep in the next Play-offs that will determine the second team to play in PSL next season.
Speaking to Kickoff.com Leopards assistant coach Joel Masutha said, "It was very sad losing against Vasco, but one thing that is motivating us is the spirit among the players.
"We lost against Vasco but the players are not ready to give up and have promised to continue fighting hard until they achieve their dream of playing in the PSL.
"We have been in this situation before and we have the experience to turn things around in our favour."
The draw for the second Play-offs that involve Mpumalanga Black Aces, Nathi Lions, African Warriors and Black Leopards takes place in Johannesburg today (Tuesday).
