KOSSA HAVE HILL TO CLIMB IN SUPER 8

HONIARA - Kossa takes on Makuru in a crucial Super 8 decider tomorrow at Lawson Tama at 4.00p.m.

Kossa returned home from New Zealand this week after bowing out of the O-League at the hands of Waitakere United and Coach Jacob Moli now has the task of getting his players minds back on their domestic competiton.

Having played two matches so far in the Super 8, Kossa have recorded a win and a loss in their pool which has placed them in a precarious position.

They need to win by at least eight clear goals to have a chance of qualifying and playing against the inform Makuru side suggests the task will be near impossible.

Makuru and Marist are clear favourites to qualify in their pool after registering six points each.

Marist had already completed its matches winning two and losing one against Makuru.

However, its 3-0 win over Kossa and 5-1 beating of Walas puts them in a superior position.

Kossa coach Jacob Moli is aware of the hurdle he and his boys must overcome in order to qua1ify, saying they will just play their normal game.
