Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt unfazed by double Soweto duo victories

Following their League opening victory against Amakhosi, Hunt plotted the downfall of the Sea Robbers in their MTN8 quarter-final clash on Saturday evening, making it two Soweto scalps in the space of five days.
But Hunt was quick to play down the feat.

“Every game is a giant – every game is a good hard game, so obviously we’ve had these two games now, but we came back, showed good character, and showed what we can hopefully maintain through the season, and a good attitude as well,” the satisfied Wits coach told reporters after the game. “So that’s most important for us.

“But it’s early, early, early.”

Despite their good early season form, Hunt dismissed talk that Wits will be the side to beat, insisting his squad should not get ahead of themselves.

“We’ve played two games ... we’ve done nothing, won nothing, it’s only been two games,” he said. “The team will be tested as the months go on. The problem for us, like everyone else, is that we won’t play now for the next two weeks.

“As it goes on in the season, it will get harder and harder … I think everyone has lifted their game and improved, so everyone, like us, is trying to improve our squads and our teams, that’s all.

“But we can’t get ahead of ourselves – we’ve done nothing. It’s been two games.”

Wits face Polokwane City in their next Premiership fixture following the Fifa break.
