Stellenbosch FC coach Gavin Hunt reflected on the emotional PSL opener, stating that the team should have been given more time to mourn Jayden Adams' passing. The team struggled to find their rhythm in the league curtain-raiser at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium, ultimately falling to a narrow defeat. Hunt noted that the timing of the fixture, coming just a week after Adams' funeral, left his players in no fit state to compete at the highest level. The coach believes that the league should have shown more empathy toward the club that raised Adams from a young age. Despite the difficult start to the campaign, the current break in the league schedule to accommodate the MTN8 semi-finals offers a chance for the team to regroup and find their focus. League standing: 6th in Premier Soccer League, 4 pts, 1W-1D-1L from 3 games, recent form WDL. Goals this season: 6 scored, 5 conceded (+1 goal difference). Title race: 3 points behind leaders Orlando Pirates. With the initial shock beginning to subside, the focus now shifts back to the pitch as Stellenbosch FC look to honour their former teammate's memory through their performances in the Betway Premiership.
