In the Betway Premiership, they've earned six points from six matches, with one win, three draws, and just two losses, despite being ruled out at the start of the season as automatic relegation candidates.
Their fairytale run in the Carling Knockout Cup has made the SA football fraternity stand up and notice Clinton Larson's troops, who on their way to the final, overcame Orlando Pirates, TS Galaxy, and Richards Bay away from home.
