With only a victory standing in their way of reacquiring Elite League status, Slingerz FC head-coach Charles ‘Lily’ Pollard stated that while his charges are prepared for the League Playoff final against Monedderlust, he is not approaching the encounter in an overconfident manner.
This was disclosed during an exclusive interview with Stabroek News yesterday. According to the former Golden Jaguar international defender, “We are confident, but we are not disrespecting the opponent. We need to cross our ‘T’s and dot our ‘I’s, and the team that makes the fewest mistakes will probably win the game. We are not overconfident, but we are confident. We also need some luck on our side during the final.”
The Vergenoegen-based outfit will face off against Monedderlust of Berbice in the final of the Elite League playoff on Saturday, with the winner earning a berth in the 2024 edition of the competition.
