"I think everyone in the team wants to win the cup. It is a good thing for the team to win cups and it also motivates players and also pushes us to do more in the league.

"The more we experience different environments, the more we improve and grow. The experience I got last time made me grow as a person and it helped the team.

"If you check, there was a time when we were struggling with Gallants, but after our good run in this competition, we started to pick up points in the league and we improved a lot."
