What happened

Highbury FC coach Kabelo Sibiya pledges that his team will make the most of the final six games of the Motsepe Foundation Championship season.

Why it matters

His vow follows the “Yellow Nation’s” promotion bid being dealt a heavy blow in their 2-1 loss to Kruger United at NMU’s Madibaz Stadium on Sunday.

Common ground

Highbury are now eighth on the log, with 30 points from 24 games, 12 points clear of relegation.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
