Dludlu excited with Bantwana progress ahead of Zambia clash

The coach is pleased with the on-the-field improvement made by her team after winning her first warm-up game on Sunday

South Africa U17 girls head coach Simphiwe Dludlu says she is impressed by the progress of her side following a triumph over JVW in Bedfordview on Sunday.

Bantwana were drawn a bye in the preliminary stage of the U17 Women's World Cup qualifier and are now scheduled to face Cosafa neighbours Zambia in the first round of the qualifying series.

Having resumed preparations last Friday, the two-time World Cup participants intensified their build-up for the upcoming clash against the Shepolopolo, with a 4-0 win over the Gauteng-based outfit.
