“Our focus and energy are now fully on the upcoming game as we need to collect points. We know it won’t be easy, but we will prepare adequately for Richards Bay.
"We will get it right. I won't panic. We need to work and do introspection and also look at ourselves, where we can improve individually and collectively as a team, and we’ll get it right, do corrections."
The action will start on August 19 with Swallows FC hosting AmaZulu FC at the 2010 FIFA World Cup training venue, Dobsonville Stadium.
