Hunt, though, stressed his focus is firmly on improving Stellenbosch’s lowly 13th position on the League table, starting with the clash against Magesi FC on Wednesday evening at the Danie Craven Stadium. “In our situation, the next game is the most important game,” Hunt said.

“We can’t prioritise. Last year they could do a little bit because they were well up in the league, you know, they did so well last year. Steve (Barker) in the Confed Cup, they could really have a go there, but they did because they were well safe.

“We’re not safe. I mean, Chippa won three in a row now. So, you know, from bottom to nowhere, to like above us.

“The problem is people can look at it with games in hand, but games in hand mean nothing. Points in hand are better for me, you know. So, Wednesday is a huge game for us, yeah.”
