“The battle for top 2 is getting closer and closer every week, and picking up 3 points from Tss rovers is a must.”

On the motivation getting a result against TSS could give this group…

“Beating a team like TSS rovers this weekend would give us a huge amount of motivation. Not only because it’s a home game, but also because of how strong they are. They have been having a very good season and have been undefeated so far. So, giving them their first defeat would be huge for our team morale.”

Player to watch: Koby Greaves 

The Victoria native has been a crucial part of this Highlanders team this season, playing the role of playmaker for the Highlanders. Koby’s technical ability and vision is instrumental in the Highlanders possession and attacking play. A nightmare to play against, Koby rarely gives the ball away and often has defenders chasing shadows with impeccable distribution. A player to watch this weekend, and all season long!
