SIBISI – WE’LL MAKE THEM HAPPY

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” Sibisi told PiratesTV.

“It’s a a derby of course, you could see they wanted it as much as we did and I guess it was just a bit of a misunderstanding, we lost the ball at the centre and we conceded unfortunately.

“But we keep our heads up and fight to the next game. It’s a process, I’ve said it already, we’re in a process and I think we have to trust the process.

“It’s going to be up and down, they should keep on supporting us and I’m sure we’ll make them happy.”
