Durban City coach Gavin Hunt eyes points haul despite road woes

Hunt laments the fact that he will have to endure what he calls his least favourite part of football life: hotels.

City begin their trip against Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday, before staying in the province to face Sekhukhune United at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.

"It's not easy because we'll be there the whole week. Me and hotels are not the best friends - I hate those places. But that's the game. We'll dust ourselves off and go again," Hunt told Sportswire.

While the living arrangements might not be to his liking, Hunt is far more satisfied with how his newly promoted side has started life in the Betway Premiership.

City are unbeaten in their first three matches, collecting seven points to sit fourth on the table. Their 1-1 draw with Golden Arrows last week was the first time they conceded a goal this season.

Hunt, however, felt his team could have claimed more and more important now is to collect as many points as possible.

"If you offered me seven points from three games at the start, I'd have taken it straight away. But the reality is we probably deserved even more," he continued.

"What's important now is to gather as many points as possible before we go up against the big hitters. We'll get stronger too, especially with new players settling in. These two fixtures in Limpopo are tough, but we'll keep pushing forward."
