Sekhukhune United head coach Eric Tinkler has set his sights on securing a continental ticket for the club as they continue their glowing campaign so far in the Betway Premiership this season.

Sekhukhune defeated Orlando Pirates away from home on Wednesday to maintain their pace in third position, three points clear of Stellenbosch FC in the race for a spot at next season's CAF Confederation Cup.

Sekhukhune’s performance this term has seen them chalk enviable results on the road as they attempt to stay ahead of Stellies. That notwithstanding, Sekhukhune head coach Eric Tinkler remains firmly focused on his outfit as the team battle a slot in African next campaign.

“I think right now we’re only concerned about ourselves. Yes, they’ve (Stellenbosch) played a lot of games, and from here to the end of the season, their schedule will be extremely tough.

“But again, just like with Stellenbosch, we have to focus on ourselves and try to pick up as many points as possible. Whatever happens around us will happen, and if we manage to catch them, we’ll catch them. So I don’t want to focus too much on that,” Tinkler told SuperSport.
